Joe Rogan on James Brown's Craziness

Funny guy yeah, but outside of that I I'm not lacking in confidence, but leaving my house is like I said Quite but that's what I'm saying is like by whose definition is enlightenment because like say if you wanted to go to a concert Yeah, or you wanted to Go to a great movie would an enlightened person enjoy a great movie? I? Would think my version of an enlightened person would in fact enjoy a great movie. I've been enlightened to the concert I saw James Brown when he first got out of prison, and I found that that that Performance that he gave was the most enlightened performance I'd ever seen was this when he was in the car chase was that that prison yeah, it was the last prison He shot at cops because I believe so yeah That one was his someone else used his bathroom right isn't that what happened someone? Don't know I know that he got in trouble the cops, but maybe was taxes. I don't know Is that he had gotten out of prison and just the idea that James Brown was in prison I think the maybe I remember in this incorrectly But I think someone used his toilet And then he got mad at that person and shot at something like either shot the wall or something I don't remember that story, but I assume You're looking it up right now. Yeah, so we'll find out feel like he was in a high-speed chase They shot his tires out they shot. I don't remember it this way Something in a car though, maybe I'm pretty sure they shot his tires out And he was driving around on my rims he had to have been doing a lot of blow or something Agitated I mean no normal human thing and we're talking about James Brown is that agitated I mean who gets that he was fucking phenomenal when is he? Tuesday chase that went up to 85 miles an hour involved 14 cars He said in stock because he feared for his life though I don't try to see why it started and I don't see that I feel like that that's what started He was he fired off a gun because someone used his toilet by the way a two-state chase I'm guessing he lived near the border Wacky states Georgia oh, okay. Yeah, maybe it's like Georgia, Florida. Yeah, it could be close to each other Georgia, Florida line is not a band it is right doesn't know Wheeler Walker make fun of them This is he have failed a beta pullover. That's all it is. That's what I'm pretty sure that's why they were pulling him over I think they were going after him. I might be wrong about that Maybe that maybe I'm confusing him with okay Chuck Berry was the one who was filming people going to the bathroom, right? I think he liked to go in the back. He liked to pee on ladies. I'm pretty sure interesting I'm pretty sure interesting Generally when I enjoy James Brown's music. I'm not thinking about his car Think about his other side, you know Oh really yeah, okay, that's right. Oh here it goes Carrying a deadly weapon at a public gathering an attempt to flee Paris driving under the influence of drugs Okay, he reportedly stormed into the insurance company next to his office Waving a shotgun and complaining that strangers were using his bathroom as time reported For six miles, there you go. Are you kidding me years later this episode would frame the 2014 Brown biopic Okay, I'm guessing that I saw him after this. Uh-huh. Cuz it was right after that it would be It would be late 80s early 90s Jesus Christ. He did six years Yeah, he was in there for a while six fucking years How about just sober him up? He was on PCP. They gave him a year for each mildly drove on Rumors of a PCP habit had already surfaced by the time his erratic behavior came to a head in September Wow PCP is a tricky one. I'm in the prison choir. I Bet he did shit. Imagine you go to jail for like stealing the car and you're fucking Sally is James Brown Hey, buddy What do you want to do? Yeah, that's something that's a hell of a story. Yeah, help him write some songs. Yeah, get on up. Yeah, did you ever see? when he opened up for The Muhammad Ali fight with George Foreman's in the documentary. Holy shit was incredible. That was incredible. Yeah Incredible. Yeah, he had so much power. There was something about him, man Just power give you an idea how much power Prince wished for that power fuck yeah Well Prince had it but he had another way different way, but Prince looked up Didn't know James Brown was ridiculous. I can't sing and I looked up to it. Yeah, I don't have any musical talent I just told you what a waste Elvis was Cuz Elvis had that power and he didn't use it. He had it early on and then He could never dance like James Brown though, or if he did he never showed it would be different It's a different kind of power if he just took and harness. Yeah, it is. Look at this. Look at his dress Look at that the fucking pants in the show. Yes Goddamn drop it down doing splits. I know he was not human and by the way He he's not even really flexible enough to do a full split and yet he's still dropping down on stage You know, he was wearing a turtleneck that night and I said to him cut that baby out Well, let's let's leave a little bit. Let's put your initials on there I think that that was done in advance all the girls was hanging around with yeah, I know fuck Whoa. Yeah, look at this giant ass band. I don't envy those people Do you know when you see people with bands touring got all those people all those working pieces have to fall into place? Yeah
