LA CANCIÓN DEL VIERNES 29 DE DICIEMBRE
Nació y creció cuando el mundo vivía en blanco y negro e hizo de lo negro "a matter of proud". El pasado 25 de diciembre, mientras otros renacían más de dos milenios después, The Godfather of Soul, Mr. Dynamite, aullaba por última vez. La música de nowadays le debe mucho. Drogata arrepentido, cabrón con pintas, tirano con alma tierna, maltratador atormentado, negro con alma renegra, hijoputa cariñoso como un padre borracho y 'Hall of Fame' del Rock & Roll, no seré yo quien descubra nada que no se haya dicho ya. Antes de que los cantantes blancos desataran el 'fenómeno fan', sus melodías ya ponían el picante a fiestas negras más calientes que las barandillas del infierno. No se hable más, nadie mejor para definirle que sus propias canciones: "Fellas, I'm ready to get up and do my thing. I got to have fun, I'm gonna do my thing. Wishing your heart could feel, stay on the scene like a sex machine. I feel nice, like sugar and spice, and your love stops my heart from dying. Make a girl sell her body for a five-dollar bag, say it loud, I'm black and I'm proud, take your kids and raise them up.
Lord just thrown me out in the street now, girl let me tell you what you got to do now. I don't care about the way you treat me, this is a man's man's, man's world but she's in my dreams awake or sleep. Look you here I want to know, do you love that brother doing the popcorn? Hold me tight, I'll place your tears with diamonds.
Think about the sacrifices that I made for you, think about the good things I done for you. You're so hard I can't stand no more, come over here, now there's one more thing I'd like to say right here. You better watch the man doing the outside dance with your sister in the backyard, somebody thinks I have a right to be tough.
There are seven aknwoledged wonders of the world, you are about to witness the eighth. Just to see your face again, you might not be looking for the promised land but you might find it anyway. I could say goodbye, you just don't understand, play that funky music white boy, play that funky music right".
PD: Entre "comillas" un texto elaborado con 17 canciones del Sr. James Brown. Rest in soul.
PD 2: A Apollo, evidentemente, lo mataron por Capullo y por robar la nave a Han Solo.
