Missed it by a day, but rise up young funksters to celebrate the 80th birthday of the legendary George Clinton. Noted funk chronicle NPR dropped this fascinating little vignette about the bandleader's history and influence, centered on the epic Maggot Brain.
I heard Blackbyrd McKnight play Eddie Hazel's solo a few years ago. Melted shit all over the place. Cheers up to the Mothership. May the Duke of Funkenstein have 80 more years. Free your mind and your ass will follow.
Mersh, you gotta lay off the pipe man. Clinton is playing right here!
ReplyDeleteYoodge day. I guess no one likes George Clinton.
ReplyDeleteCleveland Guardians. All right. Play ball.

ReplyDeleteHi Gheorghepeople!
ReplyDeleteSaw P-Funk and Bootsy's Rubber Band and Co. at U. Maryland's Cole Field House in 1975 or '76. Clinton and Parliament didn't get started until almost midnight. In the era before cellphones, made command decision to stay for the entire show, knowing that I would be in deep shyte when I got home. Which I was, since I didn't get home until about 3:30 a.m. Parents didn't believe they were still playing music past 2 a.m.
