An interesting quote from Bootsy Collins I recently read, after a tribute concert he played:
"¨We´re losing history,¨ he says. ¨Historical icons and our whole historical values are being swept away. If I can do one little part to keep the James Brown legacy alive, that will be my little part. I´d probably want to do this even if I hadn´t been with him, but knowing how serious he was about the music, for what he´s done for American music, it´s the least I can do. The way it is now, every act you see, they come out and say, ¨Throw your hands in the air!´ And it´s like, yeah, I´ll throw my hands in the air when you do something! James Brown was always about the work and getting down for the people and, to me, that´s what it´s all about. I want to do my part and try to keep a little piece of that alive. I´m not trying to save the world; I´m just trying to keep this music and this feel alive."
