Chris Brown can’t change the past – if he could, he would have done a better job on Rihanna and then fled to Mexico.
But he can change the future. And that’s Chris Brown’s prime directive right now. He doesn’t want to be known as the big-toothed singer who beat up his girlfriend in a moment of staggering violence any more – he wants to be known as the big-toothed singer who beat up his girlfriend in a moment of staggering violence and then cleaned up some rubbish quite well.
And that’s what he is. A judge has just given Chris Brown an ‘extremely favourable’ community service progress report. Now that’s being a role-model. For people who hit women and then have to pick up trash.
Chris Brown may have shocked the world by violently attacking Rihanna in the face while threatening to kill her.
