Verba Volent,

Facus Manent.

 

RIP

[Kor Qel Droma]

I'll always remember Mr.Brown for his cross state police chases.

[metadigital]

I wish I had that outfit.

[Gorgon]

Too bad he lost his voice to coke and booze. Anyway wasen't he 90 or something, thats more time than most people can expect to get.

They better have covered him with his cape, not a sheet.

 

Sad.

[Hurlshort]

He was 73, which is a pretty solid age for a guy that lived a life like his. I read in the newspaper he got pneumonia and passed away rather quickly...and they said they haven't determined the cause of his death. What is that? He was 73 and he got pneumonia, it seems pretty clear he died because he was old.

[Surreptishus]

He had prostrate cancer too.

[jaguars4ever]

Noes!1

 

And I was looking to his New Year's special.

[Walsingham]

I'm blaming Santa in a big conspiracy.

ZOMG!1 You're right!

 

Look what happens when you rearrange the letters:

 

Santa-->Satan

 

 

The truth is out there.

So some coke he couldn't handle, then? I always thought he was a psychotropic fiend. PCP can mess you up bad.

 

But it's sad (telling?) that he'll probably be known more for his vices than the occasional amazing song he'd make, or the dancing that made him a legend. I'd be all cynical and say he won't be remembered fondly ala Ray Charles because he didn't "white up" his music so much, but he made just as many clunkers towards the end as Ray did. Shame.

[metadigital]

Wow, tough crowd. Ray Charles, too?

[Walsingham]

I'm going to remember him for his mojo. Not his vices. I hope the same courtesy will be accorded me.
