James Brown has prostate cancer

Well, this sucks.

Fans wanting to direct well-wishes to Brown can address him at [email]JB@intriguemusic.com[/email], Smalls said.

Maybe we can all get together and send him a get well e-mail.

Not to worry...he'll just throw off the shroud and keep on dancing. :biggrin:

Well...so much for the recent reports that frequent sex helps prevent prostate cancer. I mean, if JB didn't get his share and several others', who did?

Here's hoping that modern medicine will soon have him shrieking, "I feel good!"

I sent a get well e-mail and got the autoreply.

Thank you for your words and concern for Mr. Brown. We will pass them along to the Godfather of
Soul. For updated information, please visit www.intriguemusic.com.

All of our prayers are with him.

Maybe it's just a generational thing, but it seems that a lot of great names have been passing on lately. Here is a partial list of 2004 celebrity deaths. Maybe I just believe that except for some standouts like Tom Hanks, modern celebrities just don't seem to have the same appeal as ones from the 70's and earlier. I don't really hate him, but I won't be anywhere near as sad about Brad Pitt passing on as I did about Henry Fonda, or will about Sean Connery or any former member of Monty Python.

I don't think it would be fair to lose Ray Charles and James Brown in the same year.

BTW, here is a creepy site based on the concept of the Dead Pool. Death List

AND Rick James... :(

Mel Brooks and Issac Hayes have no business passing on either.

I think you're a bit premature on Brooks. Both imdb and wikipedia still count him among the living.

Brad Pitt isn't even in the same ballpark as those guys. My wife will be pretty bummed tho.

Oh, that's just not right, to put Musharraf on it.

I know they're both still alive. I mean they have no business dying as yet.

I don't want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve immortality by living forever.

Not a huge Woody Allen fan, but this is my favorite quote from him.
