No less a university than PRINCETON UNIVERSITY, according to U.S. News and World Report America's best college in 2007, hosts a symposium about the Godfather of Soul, or rather Dr. James Brown, called
'Ain't that a Groove': The Genius of James Brown.
It's taking place on November 29 - 30 and there are some people there well known :

Alan Leeds, Harry Weinger, Cornel West and ?uestlove!

Alan Leeds reveals in his blog (which is also my source) that special guests possibly include no less a figure than musical director Fred Wesley and Pee Wee Ellis! Plus Questlove this could mean some funky tunes, too, couldn't it?!

Honour to whom honour is due.

Awesome, I would go, but am no where near Princeton.
