1) As a fellow musician and a lifelong admirer of his work, I felt the most appropriate tribute to James Brown was to make a funky track dedicated to him & keeping up what he gave the world. That track is on my Soundclick page here. Nothing I could’ve said would’ve expressed it any better than that.
2) Ford’s purpose as president pretty much began and ended with pardoning Nixon. As for his recently-revealed criticism of the Iraq invasion, that was over three years too late to be of benefit. He seemed like a decent enough person (for a politician, that is), and I didn’t wish ill on him, but to be honest I just don’t see the big deal here. Feel free to yell at me about this if you want…
