I met James Brown in person. Gave my Gma his autograph

So imagine my delight when I run into the one and only James Brown, and I didn't even know what to do. I was just like, so, like, it was so surreal, and all I could think was, my grandma's gonna be so jealous when I tell her I got his autograph. That's all I could think to myself, because that was a staple in our home. And I just couldn't even believe that that type of opportunity presented itself

I am so jealous of you. Like, I'm not jealous. Like, I'm not a jealous person, but I am so jelly right now. Like, everything about this, besides my grandma wouldn't have been around, but I had to jump on here. It got re swelled by the mind of rage. So I was like, oh, James Brown, okay. Like you, I, too grew up on James Brown blasting out of my uncle's garage

I've met quite a few people, but of all the people that I've ever met, that one was just so impactful, because it was just like, I really grew up. This is the originator. Wow. And it's funny because I never got the meaning, but he was really, really nice, and he was willing to sign autographs for all of us, but he wouldn't autograph the money, and I don't know what that means

I do not know why he didn't want to sign the money, but I want to know. I want to find out. I don't know. Maybe I'll come across that one day, like an interview or something. Off the top of my head, I can't even think of why you wouldn't. But, I mean, other than, you know, us money
