It was Christmas 2006 and I had an old iPod Mini that I was trying to put some more music onto. Something went wrong though and somehow all of the music, photos and videos had on the device was deleted. The only thing left was a single song, James Brown's "I Feel Good".
It didn't make any sense how I could have accidentally deleted everything EXCEPT for one song, like you'd think either nothing would be wrong, or everything would be deleted. Why just one song?
Later that day we turned on the news and found out James Brown had died that day.
I know it was just a coincidence...And it's such a small, inconsequential thing...but I still think about it sometimes.
