For once in my life, I find myself in agreement with the Reverend Al Sharpton:
“It would almost be unthinkable for a man who lived such a sensational life to go away quietly,” Sharpton said in an interview from Georgia, where he was making funeral arrangements with Brown’s children.
…
Sharpton said Brown always knew his place in history.
“He used to tell me, `There are two American originals, Elvis and me,’” Sharpton said. “‘Elvis is gone, and I’ve got to carry on.’”
Amen, brother.
