Rick James - Rest In Peace


This one REALLY hit me hard...

Rick James, yes the hard living, rough loving, megastar of pop funk has died. Say what you will about his lifestyle, he was a heck of a bass player, a real showman, and a great entertainer. Seeing him break the Mary Jane Girls in feels just like yesterday to me.

One thing about the folks who made the music of your youth, when they pass on, it goes right through you, like a spike through the heart.

Will miss you always, Rick! God bless you.

As I ALWAYS say, they're putting one hell of a band together up there!

Agree on music of our youth and and Rick's unique style but.....Up there? If there is an up there, then there definatly is a down there where you'll find Ol Rick suckin on a pipe, Jerri curls on fire and slappin some Mary Jane's around.
i have a mental image of the flamin jerri curls,hahaha, i love it.

well, he was a super freak!!!!
Called the cops when my dope smokin neighbor played super freak 30 day in a row at 2 am and at full volume. My wife and I stll joke about it. It was super freaky. I bought one of his cd's with super freak on it on the day of his death. R.I.P. Rick
