Wrong: if you are under the influence of drugs, you transcend nothing, but you are actually more entangled in this material world ... the opposite of transcending it.

Darian Gregory James Brown was ripped off by Managers for years. He trusted people. When he was popular, he did O.k. But, times changed. He became less popular because of disco. Employees became against him. Everybody wanted a 'piece of James Brown'. His wife Adrian died. James Brown married a woman but she hardly saw him. Then he married Tommi. Fame and fortune has a price for celebs. His health deteriorated. Celebs often turn to drugs. Whitney died from drugs. June Pointer died from drugs. Crack is a killer. Natalie Cole did drugs. Look at all the celebs we lost to drugs!
James Brown was in a 'police Chase's in South Carolina. He was in his GMC truck. They found PCP in the truck. He was sentenced to 3 yrs. in jail but only did 1 after doing a concert for the inmates. They said he was a 'model prisoner'. James Brown's mug shot is on Google.
He said “I’m concerned because there’s nothing wrong” then closed his eyes as if he was thinking “wtf does that even mean” 🤣🤣🤣 JB is an absolute legend lol
I love that the interviewer wasn't patronizing. After that first outburst, she was like, okay...this is what we're doing. Here we go! She let him be him and just rolled with it. 😂😂😂
Watch closely that he touches his neck 3 times with his finger while he says that. Thats NLP technique a hypnosis technique to confirm and reafirm what hes saying is true.
She also was super passive aggresive which made this interview funnie especially after he said this is a mans world the last time and then he said get up off of that thang
PLUS I will be wearing them same safety glasses just to prove - 2 - u - THAT I have them , YOU TUBE CARL KISH SUBSCRIBE dancing with the Hungarian welder GUY.
Ryan sent me here-realized I already been here. But I’ll gladly watch again. Lived some happy years in Augusta-James Brown is a legend in Augusta for those in the know
The way this lives rent free in my head! Answering the questions with his songs and lyrics is genuis! The interviewer played her role and kept going seamlessly. She deserved an award for this one as her sense of humor was right on point and she got the job done!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😂😂😂😂🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤❤❤❤❤
But she tried to sneak in with stupid questions but kept getting interrupted each time ... the only good thing about her is that when james said I don't wanna talk about she continued to speak about what james brown wanted to speak about which is music ... but here's the thing even though she asked about music she tried several times to sneak in with the charges
The greatest interview in the history of television. Ironically, Try Me by James Brown is the greatest love song ever written. If you don’t agree, hasta luego. THIS IS A MAAAAAAAAN’S WORLD!
Abu Sabah A while back somebody said Trump is the James Brown of politics. That person is sharp as a tack. James controlled this interview from start to finish. I want to go see that damn show so bad right now but I can't because it happened 30 years ago! Lol
He was the ultimate troll in this interview. You can tell he 100% understood her questions because when it came to questions he wanted to answer, he answered them and trolled her on the rest of the questions
Actually he was high on pcp is what he said later on. How he held it together I'll never know cause I would've lost it lmao Not that I've ever tried pcp but it's embalming fluid n typically makes people see stuff n things like ghosts that ain't there so who knows if it's true or not but he was definitely feeling good n from my own personal drug experiences he sounded like he was on ecstacy or speedball of coke n heroin! Who knows other than he was definitely high!! Good for him! I would've been too!
He's basically was telling the media stay out his business. He's not telling you no more than you already know. James wasn't gonna snitch on himself on CNN. Also he's promoting the tour while on there. You can tell some of y'all are new breed. Yall used to people telling on themselves on social media. Y'all might thought he was high, y'all might thought he was crazy but I think he was very smart.
yurtpoh depends on the dose, there's definitely a line between maintaining [slight] control, and becoming manic & wild. look at his facial expressions and hear the way he talks, doesn't seem like coke; and yeah, sure, his behavior seems like a fearless drunk, but again, the way he's talking isn't exactly drunk like. When he's yelling he doesn't have a problem getting the words out, but watching him in a few parts, he has a lot of trouble getting the words out, pronouncing them; unlike drunken slurring - more like its hard to control your mouth to form the right sound, happens a lot frequently on DXM. finally the way he seems to be not fully lucid of what's happening - manages to keep a conversation, but gives off the wall answers along with random interludes of singing, and also doesn't seem to have any problem with the fact he's on national television with millions watching. and it's publicly known that he started using PCP around this time, maybe earlier, I forget exactly. but yeah, who knows
someone give that news anchor an award for being able to keep the interview going....."every once in a while we forget" we got that straight from the source" just classic, had me laughing so much my sides hurt
No matter if he was high or not he is still one of the top ICONS in the world, sadly he passed away, and he was in fact a very kind man to many, helped out many in his own community. No one quite like James Brown.
Phillip S He probably caused alot of things to go missing from a high school chemistry lab, just before this interview, last, but not least, that locked up jug of ether.
I'm a musician I'm still listening like Mike jack said he's a genius to arrange music wrote sing and that band was so special the early days James brown the singles cost 30dollars I'm playing it to death
@@yourfairyking oh yea....because the 0.25% of his life, which was spent on stage, GREATLY outweighs the other 99.75% of his life. You're a sycophant and a fool.
Yeah it just shows how brilliant he was. All these people saying he was on drugs ect. Whether or not that was the case, he pulled this off like a boss. How many celebrities today would have the balls to do something like that? Nine out of ten times today, you'de get a sob story and crocodile tears. James Brown don't give a fuck, "ITS A MAN WORLD!" lmao. "How did all of this trouble begin?" "LIVING IN AMERICA!" fucking badass.
