Give It Up Or Turnit A Loose
As I’m sure everyone has heard by now, James Brown died on Christmas day. Normally I’m not one to dwell too much on celebrity deaths, after all it’s not like I knew the man, but some people have an impact that goes far beyond their person or their life.

London Calling
<p>“Why are you choosing to visit your friend now?”<br /> (shrug) (smile) “How much money are you bringing in?” “Money? On me? None.
