Chuck Brown passed away. He was huge in funk music, especially in DC but never crossed over to wider audiences. It was fun stuff. The best way I can describe his music was even more minimalist James Brown style music with a strong jazz and Afro-Latin influence.
Chuck Brown died


"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungleā€”as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
