This morning on Good Vinyl Mornings, we confront one of the most misunderstood gifts in life: rejection. When something—or someone—turns you away, it can feel personal. Final. Defeating. But what if rejection is actually divine redirection? A push not backward, but onto the good foot. Enter James Brown’s funk anthem “Get on the Good Foot.” Released in 1972, this explosive track was more than a dance cue—it was a cultural command. Brown used music as a weapon, as therapy, and as motivation. The song is about getting up, getting clear, and getting moving with intention and pride—especially after you've been knocked down.
This episode invites you to:
James wasn’t just singing about dancing—he was preaching about energy, momentum, and reclaiming control. And sometimes, the best thing someone can do for your journey… is say no.
So if you’ve been rejected lately, don’t sulk. Don’t shrink. Get on the good foot.
