maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted February 22, 2007 Reports today say a 'secret location' is now arranged as a compromise to the rows about where to bury the still frozen remains. I predict another riot of accusation and counter-accusation as someone spills the beans on where he is and everyone blames everyone else for leaking the details.

maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted November 7, 2015 Finally saw the excellent biopic - produced by Mick Jagger (which is some karma adjusted back considering Jagger nicked his act) - and checked out the current status of some of Brown's backing musicians. The drumming legend Clyde Stubblefield remains alive and highly obitable. Wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clyde_Stubblefield Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
