The flags in augusta are being flown at half staff. But don’t get confused. This is not in memory of President Ford. This is in memory of the Godfather of Soul. The Hardest Working Man in Show Business. King of Augusta. Days before his death he gave away toys to children in downtown augusta. I wish I could go to his funeral on saturday – but I’m going to be in the ATL for the Peach Bowl. I guess the flags will have to be at half mast for President Ford next week.
This is the memorial at his statute in downtown Augusta –
Here is James with Coach Dooley – this looks like a recent picture –
Damn he could dance –
the thin line between optimism and delusion...
