1. wow cnn is certaining making points in my book

I am dancing all over the house!!


Also, I just happen to notice last night that Itunes has a very decent collection of JB for 6 bucks. I already have all his stuff loaded, but for those that do not, this is a great deal.

[goclark]

2. Me too! Even my Mother -88 is dancing

CNN is OK in my book today.

I'm shocked that they are staying with the story.

[doublethink]

3. Love the Celebration of his Life .....

Told my nephew a bit ago ... this is how he'd better see to it that my funeral is done someday. RIP James Brown. Peace.

[goclark]

4. CNN is letting us see a real life celebration!

Help keep it kicked,

It is really good~

[doublethink]

12. Will do ...... I'm mesmerized by the love, inspiration and good ...

coming from The Godfather of Souls life being relayed in these services. Lives like his never really end do they? Ever. Peace.
ps: love the funk......

13. I can still see his dancing feet! Get on down James Brown!

[hippiechick]

5. ... that lady dancing with MC Hammer ...

.... my initial reaction when I saw her from a distance was "That CAN'T be Condi!!!" :wow:


:rofl:

[goclark]

11. Keep it kicked it is so good

His manager is talking about him now.

[AmandaRuth]

6. kick for Soul Brother #ONE

!!!

[fortyfeetunder]

7. Rev. Al Sharpton eulogy NOW

he's rocking...

His last conversation with JB, reflected JB said "we need to clean up the music"...telling information-- regarding the use of certain words in urban music.

Spoken like a father to his children.

[CatWoman]

8. what? no Saddam pinata?

:sarcasm:

[fortyfeetunder]

9. Michael Jackson to speak NOW n/t

[CatWoman]

10. I'm truely pleased to see MJ there

JB was such an inspiration for him.

[goclark]

14. Mj's words were just right and so from the heart nt

[goclark]

16. Jesse Jackson speaking now

His daughter Sarita just finished singing.

[0rganism]

15. Gerald Ford should be so lucky

Republican funerals are so booooring.... Ford's ghost is probably gate crashing the James Brown memorial.

[Catshrink]

17. This is great to see

and surprising after the Saddam wet dream they showed all day yesterday.

This is a wonderful celebration and has the potential for so much healing. If only....

[goclark]

18. You are so right ~ there are a lot of good messages

coming from that stage today.

Anyone that misses it misses something really special.

[aquart]

22. That would be all of us who don't have cable?

[goclark]

23. Shucks ~ it is so good

My cousin is on his way over here to see it .
I taped it for him.

[jwirr]

24. Is it going to be replayed? What time? Where? I am always

late reading the reminders.

[goclark]

26. I sure that Corporate News will not show it like this again

It was so good, from beginning to end.

Maybe CSPAN will have it.
If somebody finds out, please let us know.

[NashVegas]

30. I Missed the First Half or So

Tuned in by accident.

What an amazing slice of life.

[tridim]

19. Faux and MSNBC's loss IMO

They're making a huge mistake not showing this.

People are sick of the MSM celebrating death and killing, they'd much rather celebrate life.

[goclark]

21. I am still in shock that CNN made a decision

to show it!

I think they must have heard that MJ would be there or that the "wife" would act out but so far ~ everything is "Up Tight and Outa Sight!"

[partylessinOhio]

20. I've been watching for a couple of hours now. Thank you, CNN!

No commercials and they have stuck with it.

America would be different today if we had let people like Jesse and Al lead us instead of the Neocon gang.

The message is clear - we cannot go backwards any further.

[goclark]

25. I can't believe that they let us see this instead

of Saddam in a bag or Bush in Crawford. :sarcasm:

[doublethink]

27. I really hope CNN covers the rest of it ....... I think they said ......

they were going to get back to it. My tv is on mute until then. Anyway hope CSPAN has it scheduled later today or tomorrow on tape. ALL DU'ERS SHOULD SEE these services considering what's been going on in our world the last 24 hours. Okay ..... one more RECOMMENDATION from somebody to get this on the Greatest Page where it belongs today. Come on ..... somebody, anybody .... the Godfather of Soul won't take no for an answer! God bless James Brown. Peace. :) :kick:

[malaise]

28. Missed most of it

Damn.

[Sapphire Blue]

29. K&R for the Godfather of Soul

[goclark]

32. Thanks for the K and R ~ just need one more now

Go James Brown!!!!!

[Justpat]

31. If anyone taped it,

I'd pay for a copy of it. I missed it.

Damn.

[goclark]

33. I have it on tivo but no external taping set up ~ keep kicked

and maybe someone will see it that has a tape of it.

It is great from beginning to end.

Get on down James Brown!!! :party:

[Nicole]

[BlackVelvetElvis]

38. FANTASTIC PICS!

Thanks CW.
My mother and I watched today and it was awesome. I was proud of CNN for broadcasting this.
My mom is a 72-year-old white woman, born in the south and loves James Brown. We both enjoyed this very much.

[goclark]

40. James, you went out in style! nt

[bdamomma]

39. not to be rude, but I'd rather see James Brown's funeral

than Gerald Ford.

[goclark]

41. After seeing James Brown's Service

I could hardly stay awake to look at Cheney.

:boring:

[goclark]
