A two-year battle over the estate of James Brown may finally be coming to an end on Friday in a Columbia, South Carolina court. It is expected that a judge will approve a settlement that would divide Brown's remaining assets and turn over the rights to his music and likeness. Half of the assets will go to a charitable trust to help educate his grandchildren and other needy students in South...

Though I know some of you do not want to alienate me (I was told this. Come on people. It's my life. It cracks me up someone would vocalize it but I appreciate you saying it to me in writing!) because I tend to be very vocal on issues that are close to my heart, I still come to share my appreciation of you and to also open a door of communication for our differences.Race issues are hard to disc...

The holidays are here, and I have yet to step foot in an established retail store, brave a "door buster" sale, or even think of buying people the perfect gifts that would suit them.

My first James Brown post!! Oddly enough, hes not singing on it. This track is from the instrumental based album The Popcorn which was the beginnings of an even stronger strain of funk that would continue into the 1970s. Its funk at its rawest and grooviest. Dig the bassline on this one. You'll have to move to this. RIP James.

I particularly like one of the definitions of fodder."Raw material, as for artistic creation."Not more then a year ago I groused loudly about my place here on MOG and what I perceived as a right. Turns out it was a privilege.Being able to write something and place music along side of the words and the tone of the post is an absolute dream. Honestly it was what was keeping me here for the past f...

I was listening to the radio the other day when there was a call in for folks to talk about who Barack should pick for a running mate. In the middle of the back and forth, the host (Brian Lehrer- a fave of mine), held the calls, and said something like this: "Before we get involved with the horse race and policy discussions, can we just slow down, take a step back, and realize what an historic ...
