re: A&E doc on James Brown was very good.

Other than the parts where he beat his wives (all three of them)

That and the crack addiction.

But he mercilessly beat his wives. Dee Dee, I believe, he dragged into the yard and got on top of her and closed fist beat her to a bloody pulp. I still listen to his music, but it's a pretty big arse stain on his memory, imo. I wouldn't have an issue if someone said they wouldn't listen to him anymore because of it. It was really, really bad.
