Bobby Brown: Cocaine Chicken, Horny Ghosts, and His Prerogative

From DISGRACELAND Exactly Right and iHeartPodcasts

Bobby Brown thrusted and gyrated his way to the top of the charts with Don’t Be Cruel, one of the biggest records of the late 1980s and an album that brought hip-hop’s hard-knock sensibilities to R&B. But fame did not change the Boston bad boy. At the height of his superstardom, Bobby Brown was arrested onstage for violating a lewd act law. He claimed to have a sexual encounter with a ghost at his lavish Atlanta mansion. And his party-hard ways may have been the reason why Mike Tyson shockingly lost a fight and thus lost his undefeated heavyweight title.

This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including domestic violence and police brutality.
