Kill 'Em and Leave: Searching for James Brown and the American Soul by James McBride
3.0
Interesting book. Often felt like more of a biography of the people who surrounded James Brown. All of whom were fascinating.
McBride obviously has great respect and admiration for Mr. Brown. At times this meant that it felt like seriously issues (domestic violence, abusive behavior towards friends and staff) were brushed off as mere quirks of personality. While those seen as "against" him were well and truly taken to task.
People are complex. Mr. Brown maybe more than some.
