nankerphelge James Brown is playing here in DC at the end of the month. I saw him a little over a year ago at the same club and the guy was great!

When he sang Sex Machine this tall, big black woman behind me started dancing around like mad and yelling "I want to have sex" at the top of her lungs! Some short white dude was on it in seconds!

I remember when he got busted in the 80s doing 100mph in a Cadillac in one of the Carolinas while on mushrooms!! That would be either a textbook megaNolte or perhaps a whole new class of fucked up!

What would you call it if you started partying in South Carolina in the morning, woke up the next day in a North Carolina jail with mushroom breath and no recollection of the last 24 hours whatsoever except occasionally sticking your head out the window at high speed yellin' "HHHEEEEEEeeeeey" at all the cops chasing you (and really digging it at the time)!

That has to have some special name I would think?
A Brownie!!??

yes , i remember that - he was here shortly before or after that - early '88 - i saw him - at the "apollo stadium" - i kid you not, that was it's name - a western suburbs basketball stadium in adelaide (where i saw both chuck berry and little richard in '73) - he was still great - his rythym guitarist was the business and maceo was still on sax - he came back 10 years later - i didn't see him then but i was told first hand he was a bit tired - did i ever tell you about the biggest disappointment in my life was seeing ray charles around '96 -

anyway nanker, forget james for the brownie, it's poor willie down at the crossroads for that one - i believe he's sinking down...

sirmoonie I saw him being interviewed once, might have been on Stern, and he said 3 or 4 times: "I'm a man's man! I look good! I smell good!" It was hilarious. The man is the ultimate hedonist.

Love that ebonics quiz, btw. Uh, uh...woppa, appa pie, fench figh, docca peppa...

Highwire Rob It's a pity, I speak 70's Jive but that's about as dead as Latin these days.

For the following sound clips go to http://www.moviequotequiz.com/reviews/airplane.html

"Can I get you something?"
"Chi, mo' fo buttuh layin' into the bone, 'sjackin' me up. Tightly."
"I'm sorry, I don't understand."
"Cut he say can't hang."
"Oh stewardess? I speak Jive."
"Oh, good."
"He said that he's in great pain, and he wants to know if you can help him."
"Alright, would you tell him to just relax and I'll be back as soon as I can with some medicine."
"Jes' hang loose, blood. She gonna catch up on the rebound on the med side."
"What it is, big mama, my mama didn't raise no dummies, I dug her rap."
"Cut me some slack, Jack!"
[Volley of Jive talkin']
"Chump don't want no help, chump don't get no help."
"Say can't hang, say seven up."
"Jive ass dude don't got no brains, anyhow."
--------------------------------------------
Hey the same site has these memorable Airplane sound bites for our Rock's Off friend Joey:

"Joey, d'you ever hang around the gymnasium?"
"Joey? You like movies about gladiators?"
"Joey? Have you ever been in a... in a Turkish prison?"
