I was mm from going to his concert recently. I said "oh well, there's always another time". Yeah right. His musical greatness and influence will still be present. He didn't look old. RIP.

Notice that a lifetime of drinking and heavy drugs did not drastically reduce the length of his life. One of his jail stints was for storming into an insurance salesman's convention with a shotgun, high on pcp and demanding to know who used his bathroom.

He wasnt' a model citizen, but he was a generous, giving Man who often went to the Ghetto and handed out cash and gifts to the poor.

I'll never forget his answer when after his arrest, he was asked if he was "high" Brown replied: "Yes, on God" :crackup:

He was a top bloke.

Lucky enough to see him as a support to the Red Hot Chillies in Manchester in 2004.

Did you guys hear about the funeral? It was in several places, and the final respects were payed in a Arena where several people performed, in front of the stage was his open coffin. I personally had never seen anything like that, and it seems like a very nice thing to do, especially in his case. That was a celebration of his life, not grief of his death.

Lift the music!
