Bruce Holbert's book, The Hour of Lead . It is grim, grisly, and hard to finish, but the plot has just taken a new twist, so maybe it will get easier.
I just found out that one of my favorite authors, James McBride, has written a book about James Brown, titled Kill 'Em and Leave: Searching for James Brown and the American Soul. Though he was often called "the hardest working man in show business," I don't think he really ever got full credit for all that he brought to the American music scene. The film, Get On Up, starring Chadwick Boseman was very good and I've watched it several times. Dan Ackroyd has a great role as well.
One time when my husband and I were visiting his family in Augusta, GA, we stopped for gas next to a McDonalds. A stretch limousine pulled up and someone got out and walked into McDonalds. I remember saying something to my husband about that little woman with the big car and he said "that's not a woman...that's James Brown." Too bad that was back in the days before cell phones or I would have a selfie with me standing next to James Brown's limo!
ETA: I think I said something to my husband about the "little woman with the big hair and big car!"
