Rock, Punk, Post-Punk, Grunge, New Wave, Indie Rock, and so on and so forth are all different, but they all come from the Cracka tryna be James Brown. Blackberry Marmalade arrives on all streaming services tomorrow.
Arguably the goat of his sport (clear to me but I understand the debate), self-made billionaire, role model (married to his HS sweetheart, dedicated father, supported all of his friends in their business endeavors and carried them up with him, leader to his community, etc.). The guy’s life reads like a cheesy Disney channel protagonist with how amazing the real story is.
Yet there’s a cottage industry of sports commentators and media that made you hate this guy for 2+ decades because he was maybe better than their guy. I’ll never understand it.
