James Brown
W. Hollywood Ca
1980
It was early in the eighties; punk was raging and new wave was everywhere. Except with my roommate; he was down with James Brown. It was Pappa's Got a Brand New Bag for him full on, full time, so when the godfather of soul was making an appearance at Tower Records, just a couple of blocks from home, he was most insistent: "C'mon man, c'mon! you GOTTA go! It's JAMES BROWN!" I followed as he made his way to the front of the crowd and while shuffling the record sleeves he wanted signed my roomie called out, "James, meet my friend Ivy" He glanced up, amused, and i snapped his big smile.
