James Brown auction at Christie's
June 27th 2008 09:09
You can buy your own piece of the late James Brown's estate, as Christie's is auctioning off momento's from the Godfather of Soul's illustrious past.
Buy yourself a jumpsuit, or an open collared shirt, then launch into the spilts while shrieking 'yeaaooow!'.
I saw James Brown (who is still catchin' mah beat down) in concert once, and it was a sad affair. For one thing, the crowd was there for the big name, and didn't seem to appreciate the music. Secondly, ol' James was not his usual bad self, unable to do much dancing or even singing.
Instead, a slender girl in a Star-Spangled tank top came on stage and busted a good move, on the good foot. Brown did not look like much of a sex machine that day.
It's not like when you watch old videos of him in his prime. He was an angry man, used to getting his way. Yes, that made him a monster, but, on stage, all those human trappings would fall away and his unique showmanship shone brighter than any number of American flags.
He sang "This is a Man's World", but hardly anyone paid attention to the rest of the verse, requiring a 'woman or a girl'; James didn't hear it either, even though it came from his own mouth.
Why would you want to buy one of his possessions? Well, Cocaine Blunts is linking to some fun stuff, including a letter signed "Mr. Viagra". That's a real sex machine..
