It's nice, when you're feeling foul and grumpy, to stumble on bits like this:
Funk legend Rick James—best known for the 1981 hit “Super Freak” before his life tailspun into a living nightmare of wild sex parties, expensive drugs and shooting whoever he felt like—died Friday of Rick James-related illnesses.Rick James-related illnesses. I can't find that one in the medical dictionary, which proves only that doctors don't know half as much as they think they do, because you can't tell me that shouldn't be the official diagnosis. You just can't. Posted by Ilyka at August 10, 2004 02:07 AM in hell is other people
That HAS to be the most public and biggest Freudian slips I've ever seen.
