I've always thought of James Brown as an out of control Crazy person who has no idea about anything happening around him - This interview proves my point!

Crazy as F*** and out of touch with reality.

>> ^Tokoki:

That got me to look it up. It was actually on ABC for 8 seasons!

And before that there was one season of British Radio and ten seasons of British TV.

ABC moved the show too often, and viewers lost track of it (which is what happened to me). When the ratings declined, they moved it to ABC Family (which is probably when I completely lost track of it).
There are definitely a buncha shows I missed! Something to look forward to.

>> ^Tokoki:
Man...I miss that show.

Did it get cancelled due to low viewers?



Dang, I didn't know it went to ABC Family to get the axe. I remember watching it on local ABC OTA.

*promote! who is this guy?

We should post the University motto:

"I taught them everything they know, but not everything I know." - James Brown

Translated lyrics from movits.se

Born in the 80′s
In the middle of it
Then I was just the child, or maybe the grandchild
Not at all interested in tomorrow
Reality, really?
Yeah, whatever
Back then it was Abbey Road, Plura and Rolling Stones
on the grammophone ’til the day I moved away from home
Now it’s Evert Taube, Dylan, Common and Wailing Souls
Wonder where the inspiration’s coming from
————–
They say I sound Oldskool baby
Like Frank and Sammy Davis
Sing in the rain like Gene Kelly
No, I just can’t believe what they say
but they tell me it was better way back in the days…
2x
—————-
Not the one to be strivin’ backwards
But black shoes after 6 PM
I bought sneaks for half of the money
the rest I put in the matress, savin up for a rainy day
No, if thats the way it’s supposed to be
Ain’t really got nothing between the sheets
Meanwhile the oldfolks dream ’bout Jerry Lee
Gamblin away their pension on lottery
The house catches fire – For example
Call the firedepartment – Call the police
Lawyers – Lord Jesus,
Just as long as I don’t miss the reruns
of The Man From Uncle
Garfunkel and Simon
I grew up on A-team, Airwolf and MacGyver
cause I’ve heard from the elders
that everything was better back in the days
even the weather
CHORUS
This is what we in Luleå call a James Brown Moment:
They call it a daydream, sayin it was different
But grandma, it’s allright
That I should grow up, cut my hair and get a job
and not tryin to be James Brown
But was it not the same,
For young mom and dad, when it happened,
Woodstock, back in the 70′s
or was it maybe 69′
im just wonderin’
if it wasn’t just really all the same?

Another great song is King Heroin by James Brown.

There was a whole series of these commercials several years ago, with Bruce Lee, Frank Sinatra, Sylvester Stallone, James Brown, etc. I was happy to see them reprised, and I thought this one was pretty decent (obviously, or I wouldn't have posted it).
