[TING]

R.I.P. Take a moment of silence for the GODFATHER of FUNK. He was loved by everyone.

[jacknife666]

i took a moment of silence for the guy, and today to pay my respects, im gonna "get on up, like a sex machine" r.i.p james brown

[Heartcore]

as my dad said "I guess he didn't 'feel good'. peace out james

[waltz_alone]

-k.

[xnovemberxx]

that sucks. especially on christmas

[Ruggiero2oo8]

aw, R. I. P.

[Mitch]

rip

[YellowNovember]

ok

[Tom Good]

This bums me out. His style influenced a lot of people. I know, as a drummer, his music is top notch for learning some timeless beats (see funky drummer). RIP James

[Oh-So-Intracate]

Dude...

Man I Dunno What To Say...

;-) :-( :thumbdwn:

[SLoT]

Fuck, he just ruined Christmas. Honestly though, it's incredibly shitty that happened. I'm sorry to hear this news. That isn't what I wanted for Christmas either.

[Freakx45]

wow. rip james brown

[HollywoodAbalze]

RIP, though it doesnt surprise me, after all the drugs he did, im surprised it didnt come sooner, but RIP, he was a legend

[Ailite]

That's awful, on Christmas. What a shame. R.I.P.

[Alba]

Rest in peace man.

[The Median]

Huge influence on me....This really sucks. If it was the drugs that caught up with him...What explains the Rolling Stones? They must have made a pact with the Devil.

[xThursdayxPTWx]

R.i.p.

[i12punk]

RIP, though it doesnt surprise me, after all the drugs he did, im surprised it didnt come sooner, but RIP, he was a legend

He died of pneumonia, you ass.

[Trainsaw]

that sucks

[Jared Kaufman]

This sucks so bad. :-(

[Tristan Needler]

That's really sad. He had a great life though, did great things.

[notoaststereo]

wow

[PJ1336]

i'm sure alive or dead he would all like for us to have a very funky christmas.

with that said, i will choose to celebrate his life instead of mouring his death, and i can think of no better way to do so than to listen to his music all day long. this will indeed be the funkiest christmas yet.

[Exsanguination]

lame.

did you just call the fact that James Brown died, lame?

[ManicanParty49]

He died of pneumonia, you ass.

Actually it said the doctors weren't sure what he died from.

[irthesteve]

dang, thats really too bad

[WorstMistake]

See you on the other side funkman.

[heyRomanticA__x]

This guy was a seriously kick ass entertainer. May he rest in peace.

[onemanlandslide]

[waterxdamage]

[The Revisionist]

Living in America no longer.

[get high]

[arf_mutha_arf]

[nicklogan]

this guy was amazing

[Mediocrity]

saw this dude support the RHCP in 2004 at Manchester City Stadium.
Great show. Everyone was dancing. RIP.

I saw him at Hyde Park on that tour...truly a hollow shell of the Legend he used to be.

[TomAce]

I woke up to find this out, and stayed in bed cause i was too bummed to open presents. RIP James, the musics gotten me through some shit. This man saved a city with music, think about that next time you hear anyone say "its just music". This man is whos responsable for it being more.

[HollywoodAbalze]

He died of pneumonia, you ass.

maybe before you call people asses you should read my entry, i didnt say he died of it, im syaing hes done it in the past and surprised he didnt die from them, but whatever its xmas, no use fighitng over something stupid

[jimboj917]

This is a major loss for the music world. James was a very influential man, who achieved great things. Rest in peace...

Your attempt at any sort of humor is erased considering the fact that James Brown, the sports anchor, is now on CBS, not on Fox. So way to disrespect a legend of Music as well as look retarded by not knowing a thing about anything you fucking disrespectful, unfunny piece of fucking shit.

[Wobbie]

James Brown is dead.

I thought someone would have quoted the L.A. Style song title by now!

It's a massive loss to soul and funk music. A legend of the genre. Couldn't say i was a fan as such, but i definitely appreciate him, and his legacy. R.I.P.

[Zeran]

sad day.

Noooo. =[
