This would be funny, if it were true.



Mitt Romney

Rick Santorum

Newt Gingrich

I'm pretty sure none of them know who Chuck Brown is. Well, maybe Newt.

Bill Clinton definitely does.

One of his newer songs, with Thievery Corporation. Been listening to this a lot recently. Love the video too.

Yuck. There's such a thing as being too white. And I am white.

A great loss for DC but the joy of his music will live on. As a teen, I remember seeing him at one of the Back to School go-gos at the old Cap Center. I later learned just how versatile a musician he was and very personable and kind everytime I saw him out and about.

so sad - I missed this somehow and posted the same (it was me). I was just jamming out to him like a week ago on 93.9 in their go-go mix.

Yup. RIP. He was epitome of cool.

Wish more people around the country knew about the cool side of DC, rather than the stodgy side of Washington.

That's how I think about this city: Washington... stodgy. DC... cool.

You were able to bridge the generation gap, will miss your music, hope others build on your genre and carry Go-Go forward.
