Legendary songwriter, band leader and performer.

Legendary asshole, woman beater, and rapist.

I try to separate the two but it is tough.

Another great musician frontman who learned that PCP and shotguns dont mix well, under some situations.

Yeah, but you never hear about the millions of times (I assume) when they do mix well.... it just doesn't make good news.

PCP is not one of the drugs where things go well most of the time.

It is hard to separate. I used to love numerous performers who have been exposed as truly, truly horrible criminal people. Now, I don't know what to think, because so many of them are utter jerks, sober or not.

And I have seen James Brown live. It was weird, wonderful, and mostly unintelligible.

I got to see him twice in the 60’s. One of a kind.
