'The Night James Brown Saved Boston'
Hub Blog gives a big thumbs up to 'The Night James Brown Saved Boston,' promos for which you can't miss on WGBH if you're an habitual channel surfer. The documentary was replayed last night. The interviews with Tom Atkins, Al Sharpton, Dick Flavin, Cornel West and Kevin White were spot on. But my question is: What happened to the $60,000? I can almost picture Kevin White gritting his teeth as he signs over the check, hands it to an aide and then disappears before it gets to Brown. I can also picture Kevin White signing a check he knew would bounce. It's a surprisingly fun flick that originally came out last year.
