An Unlikely Pairing - The Rolling Stones and George W. Bush

They say that politics make for strange bed fellows, but perhaps the same could be said for the legend that is James Brown.  Brown’s passing has led to an outpouring of emotion and tributes all over the world.  The Rolling Stones and the current US President are two parties who have joined in paying tribute to the “Godfather of Soul” in the days since he died on Christmas morning.

Mick Jagger and President Bush both chimed in regarding the effect and influence Brown had, and although they couldn’t be more different in their background and beliefs, the fact that they are in unison in their appreciation speaks volumes to the historical significance Brown carried with the citizens of the world.
