I think he's doing the James Brown biopic, which I think he'll be perfect for.

Also, today's "singers" need to take note of performances like his. Real singing ability, no lip syncing...christ I miss those days.

It seems like honest to god good singers today are far and few between.

His 'Hey Jude' is blistering. Here's a strange video that features it, made by some buy fixated on the Pulaski Skyway: Link (new window)

/his '99 and a half won't do' is great, too: Link (new window)

I stood in line behind Wilson at the DMV one day in 1998. He had just moved to Virginia and was registering his car. Just like a normal guy... when I came out of the DMV he was out there in the parking lot putting his tags on like all of us common folk.


/Land of 1,000 Dances FTW!

And then he got in his car and gave the mayor's lawn a good going-over?

He couldn't help himself. The fence had his name all over it.
