Former President Gerald Ford dies
Former President Gerald Ford dies
James Brown and Gerald Ford die.
On Christmas Day, James Brown, the Godfather of Soul and the "Hardest Working Man in Show Business" died of heart failure at 1:45 am of heart failure after being admitted to the hospital for an extreme case of pneumonia. He was 73
Also, today, Gerald Ford, the 38th President of the United States, died, probably of heart problems as well. He was fitted with a pacemaker in August and had an angioplasty in October. He passed at around 10 to midnight and was 93

I know; it's surreal and sad. But not all that surprising, as they were both pretty damn old.
"I'm a Ford, not a Lincoln." - Gerald Ford.
^ One of my all-time favorite presidential quotes.

I never had much repsect for Ford, he's the only President who was never actually elected to the office
Originally posted by Quiero Motanot the only reason, I don't know enough about the job he did to make a judgment, but it's hard to respect someone who the people never chose.
That's the only reason you don't respect him?edit: As in big deal, he wasn't bad.

besides bush
But lets get back to the issue that two prominent people in Americana are dead

So a wife-beating drug-addict and one of the most nondescript president in modern history both died.That's ... a shame? I guess?

The Music Forum already has a James Brown thread.
I always find, though, any thread where you could realistically answer 'Oh, really', to be annoying.
