Most Morbidly Funny Crap Ever!
I soo thought I was way over and way past this until I heard the news on the Tom Joyner morning show this morning......*laughing at the thought of my next sentence*....The Godfather Of Soul....James Brown...Is NOT IN THE GROUND YET!.......*Falls Off Chair*!!
It appears that there are some estate issues that are holding up burial. For cryin out loud!! They changed that man's suit four times while they paraded his dead ass across the country. Talk about all dressed up and no place to go for real! That's like saying you're going to an exclusive party, getting all dressed up...going to the Price Chopper so everyone sees you then going back home. Literally!
I said literally because *breaks in laughter again* James Brown's body is being stored in a guarded, climate control room of his house while his family figures out this madess! I am so beside myself that I can hardly maintain. I think when the preached about a James Brown homegoing...they were talking about the afterlife, not South Carolina! WTF are these people thinking.....ohhh SNAP! I know! They are arging over who gets that gold coffin! See, at some point I knew that was going to cause major difficulty in one way or another....ha ha ha
James Brown's home has been locked since days after his death. The media says it was to protect his memorbilia. Brown's attorney, Buddy Dallas said:
"Just imagine what would have happened," Dallas said. "Items of James Brown would have left there like items off the shelves of Macy's in an after-Christmas sale."
That, too, is pretty fuckin funny since Brown died early Christmas morning....lol @ his house being an after Christmas sale. What he's not totally telling though is that the house was locked to keep his "wife" Tommy Hynie out of the house while they figure out if she was even legally married to him or not. I have noticed that the media now refers to her as Jame's "partner". Lawdhavemercy.
If it's not bad enough, there's a gold digger in the woodpile. It seems that last year, a woman had filed legal action against James Brown for a rape that supposedly happened 20 years ago. Not trying to sound insensitive, as the statute of limitations on rape and sexual assult in many states is way too short but 20 years? This is like a sober person fighting a drunk, talk about an unfair advantage? Taking a dead man to court over something that happened 20 years ago...it's not like he can testify on his own behalf and be adequately cross examined! Talk about a drama queen? She's been reported as saying:
"As a rape victim, I will never get to face him in court, and it hurts," she said. "But we are moving forward. We filed against his organization, as well as him. So now his organization stands in front of him."
In her lawsuit, the woman said Brown raped her at gunpoint in 1988 while she was his publicist. She seeks $106 million in damages. This case was already tossed out by a Federal Appeals court in August, she's requesting that the Supreme Court hear the case.
All I know is that I will be undone, overdone, outdone and indone if the court has to order the burial of James Brown. His will has not even been filed yet as of the last report that I read. I know James is singing "Please, Please, Please......."
One last time, Aretha! Tell me you are taking notes. When it's your time to go, all I want to be able to write is what a legend you were and how they had trouble getting your whole dress in the coffin......ok?
