He's dead, bitch
From CNN: "Singer Rick James, a musical icon of the 1980s who helped define the "punk funk" style of that decade, was found dead in his home Friday morning by his caretaker, a Los Angeles police Department spokesman said. He was 56."
I've reached the age where I read the news after checking the obits. This summer it seems like media personalities of my 20s are dying left and right.
Rick James' music was always interesting, but much of his life was a train wreck. Dave Chappelle recently brought James back to the media limelight with his biting comedy. If you don't get the title of this post, you need to check out The Chappelle Show.
Oh, and my condolences to James' family and friends.
