Dancing With The Godfather Of Soul
Posted by Ross Rosenberg
It’s Friday so just sit back, relax, and watch James Brown, his man breasts glistening through an obscenely low v-neck, his legs clad in the widest and finest of flared pants. Watch him as he dances for he dances for you, Ectomo.

This time of year is truly the most appropriate time for James Brown and even though we must mourn his passing, I like to think that every New Year’s party that’s totally bumping to Get up Offa That Thing is appeasing his ghost so he doesn’t rise from the grave to destroy us all.

Truly one of the best blogs I visit. If only there were more like Ecto. And my blog, naturally (Cue false modesty blush. Keep it up Ross!

“Some time in the year 1867, a fishing smack sailed from Boston. One of the sailors was a Portuguese, who called himself “James Brown.” Two of the crew were missing, and were searched for. The captain went into the hold. He held up his lantern, and saw the body of one of the men, in the clutches of “Brown,” who was sucking blood from it. Near by was the body of the other sailor. It was bloodless. “Brown” was tried, convicted, and sentenced to be hanged, but President Johnson commuted the sentence to life imprisonment. In October, 1892, the vampire was transferred from the Ohio Penitentiary to the National Asylum, Washington D.C., and his story was re-told in the newspapers. See the Brooklyn Eagle, Nov. 4, 1892.”

Funny. He doesn’t look Portuguese.
