Dear Landlord of Memory Lane:
I remember when James Brown did a no-show at Place des Nations during the 70s. Free concerts in those days, all you had to do was get to the Expo islands with your "passport" in hand. Place des Nations was packed,waiting for The Godfather of Soul to arrive and perform "I Feel Good."
Well, to make a long story. . . and a long wait short. . . James Brown failed to attend his own concert. The audience didn't feel too good about that. Papa had probably found a brand new bag of cocaine -- or some new sex machine in his hotel. It started to rain at around midnight, and so I left a deserted Place des Nations to take the night train home before the subway closed.
I won't say it too loud, but the crowd wasn't too proud of James Brown.
