Mike Judge Presents Tales from the Tour Bus - James Brown part 2 (2018)


Made for Cinemax , airing December 7th in the US.
Season 2. Episode 6.
The story : In 1968 James Brown's brand of funk reigned supreme.
Those who knew him in his early years knew him as very disciplined.
No drugs , no excessive drinking , all business.
But he began a slow dissent into the dark abyss that he would never have tolerated from anyone he knew or worked with.
By the mid 70s he lost his oldest son , this devastated him.
Then he began getting high on marijuana but at one point one of those marijuana joints was laced with angel dust.
Shortly thereafter he became an addict.
Even still , he found himself under arrest three times in only six months.
That's when the new James emerged.
