  Awesome. Saw Clinton and crew recently at Hard Rock in Vegas… they ripped it up. What a show.

  Yeah, George Clinton is one of America’s underecognized artists. You want to get into Funkadelic? Try the single: “Music For My Mother” that tells you where all this comes from. My favorite album: “Cosmic Slop”, but it includes all these period references, like the finest Vietnam song ever done, a couple of doo-wop covers, and the title piece (anybody remember the Slop?) Look, two things: First, Funk = what happens when folks with a natural sense of rhythm drop a whole lot of acid; and Second, Soul was one way America had to bring black and white together but that died with Martin Luther King. Funk was another way, a different angle, and ohh how it pains me to read forty years after about Obama finally ending the race divide in America. No, president or not, he can’t do it and it drives knives in my heart to say so.
