    James Brown is a wonderful man. I was scheduled to fly out of Augusta, GA to my duty station in Korea in 1999. It snowed that morning for the first time in many years that morning and caused my flight to be delayed and later cancelled. While waiting to see what was going to happen with my flight a gentleman with a gorgeous woman on his arm strolled in, it was James Brown. I approached him to just see if it was him and he noticed me and spoke. When he found out I was a soldier he asked me to sit and we talked as 2 normal people for almost an hour. Meant the world to me!

      Also it's a re-upload. I've been following / watching Nardwuar for almost 20 years lol. I'm sure I'm not the only who's seen this interview like 3 or 4 times, it was on Much Music (Canadian music channel) a couple times and he's uploaded this before. So it's understandable, plus a lot of the new generation don't really get James Browns soul music or even recognize him.
