Bring the Funk: Rick James’ Give It To Me Baby
A Videos entry from Monday, September 3, 2007Chapelle’s Show aside, Rick James was one of the coolest guys around. Check out this video and try to tell yourself Keith Richards is the greatest rock-star of all time. Just remember what Zosima said in the Brothers Karamazov: “Lying to oneself causes loss of respect for oneself, which leads to coarse passions. Lying to oneself makes you easily offended, even to the point of taking pleasure at the offense.”

Let’s see if I got it. The guy is a liar, she knows it; neither respect each other or his/herself.
This scene reminds me of classic situations when love-making is sooo much better after a big fight, a spat. This develops into a pattern. I’m not a psychologist, or a professor. I thought the video and synapses to Dostoyevski was great. He wrote “The Gambler,” did he not?
Great post, Mark Cullen!
