Anger Management Classes, Anyone?

You know what it's like when you have a favorite song that you just can't over listening to? But then one day you just forget about it... And then either a few months or even years later, you end up listening to it again, remembering all the memories that went with it? Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Or am I really just crazy?

Anyway, I just spent about twenty minutes listening to some of Chris Brown's old songs, recalling all the memories that went with those songs. Remember his hit single Run It? And With You? Forever? Oh, what about that amazing duet with Jordin Sparks, No Air?

Then.... Back in '09 or '08, was it? There had been allegations made against Chris Brown when he and Rihanna did not show up to the Grammys. Rihanna was found beaten and Chris Brown was to blame. Rihanna issued a restraining order out on Chris Brown. Brown, pleading not guilty, asked for a plea bargain. To stay out of jail, he'd do community service. Now, I'm no cop or a judge... I'm only a music lover so I don't really care about the details. I don't even know much about the details.

After 2 years of community service and obeying his restraining order, Brown finally releases F.A.M.E. (Forgiving All My Enemies), and I haven't really listened to the tracks yet. But what I CAN say is that all the beef and hate that has been put on Brown after he stormed out of the Good Morning America show is just rude and uncivil.

Brown had come to the show merely to discuss his album, mainly because it had been the album's release day. To put Brown on TV and COMPEL him to answer questions that is in his and Rihanna's past is just ridiculous. Whatever happened between Rihanna and Chris Brown is between them and the walls of the court room. Not the fans. It isn't even our business.

After the assault, fans had been going nuts about who's side were they on... the innocent singer or the hot-tempered one?

But really, it isn't our business. We don't know them. We only know their music. To say that you're on Brown's side or Rihanna's side doesn't matter. Sorry to say, your view on the entire ordeal doesn't matter. You weren't part of the jury to convict Brown.

Yes, Brown has been a little "not himself" since the attack but people change. So has Rihanna. I think her vulgar side has showed in her album Rated R and she has calmed down in her Loud album. Brown has the right to change. But to compel him to answer questions about HIS past that he has had to face with just isn't right.

I saw the interview on youtube and Robin, the interviewer, continuously asked him questions about the assault while Brown was merely trying to promote his new album. Whenever she'd ask a question about it, he'd just say that he was there for the album, that it was in his past, he didn't want to talk about it.

I'm not saying that I or anyone else can forgive him for what he did but that isn't our place. That's Rihanna's. Those marks on her face prove so. But to deliberately "interrogate" him on TV just doesn't settle right in my stomach.

The interviewer, excuse my French, was a bitch. She, and the rest of the media, probably knew that he was hot-tempered. Why toy with his emotions?

I can admit, after I saw what happened with Rihanna and Brown, I didn't like Brown after that. But I still liked his music. Yeah, he abuses women and definitely needs some anger management classes. But that isn't for us as fans to judge. That's for a judge, a jury, and a court room. The man still makes good music and still is talented. Bet you this... When he dies, people will probably think he's a legend. Doesn't that remind us of someone? Someone that fans turned their backs on when he was on trial but then when he died, he all of a sudden became the King of Pop?
