One Nation under a M@$&^$*&*^in' Groove!

[Morbyd]

Right, so this inexcusably crappy mobile phone photo:

was taken just seconds before I FRIGGIN' MET GEORGE CLINTON last night!

The man himself sat in the lobby of the concert venue and signed autographs for an hour! Most people (myself included) didn't even notice him as they walked into the venue as there was a small crowd around the table, where they were selling merchandise. Curiosity got the best of me so I went over for a look and figured out what was going on.

He and his entourage were excited to see another black face (merchandise guy: "I've seen only one other black person since we arrived yesterday" ). Shook the man's hand and had a 5-minute conversation - asked where I'm from, etc., told him I'd seen him at Lolapalooza (despite being ancient, he recalled it was '94.... I was thinking '93!). He signed a CD for me.

LEGEND!

The concert itself was great, of course. P-Funk played for about 3 hours with George himself participating for about 1.5 hours of it. These guys just jam with the funk... each song must have lasted about 20 minutes!

Class...

(thanks for reading my mid-afternoon drunken ramblings )

Where do you think they got the phrase?!
And what a great sentiment!

The funk of George & co. is an important link in the evolution of the music most of clubbing types listen to today!

Blimey! Ton Sur Ton. That's a blast from the past.

Ah, the era of Dosse Posse, No Fear and of course Global Hypercolour. That was also when owning a Schott puffer was considered cool.

No no no... Grego's a scouser. You're describing Mancunian chic!

Dosse Posse remember it well, what about Daniel Poole

even Bennetton in those days was cool.8)

How could I forget Chipie??? My and my mate used to nick all his older brother's sweatshirts and tops then bring back after a night of sweating in them! The final straw was a hot rock bang in the middle of one! Lit it up like Guy Fawkes, tried sneaking it back into his wardrobe and so you can imagine when he thought 'ooh I might wear this lovely top tonight' and then after a while 'I wonder why my nipples are feeling a slight draught!!'
Well my mate got beats, i just didn't go round there for a year till I was bit bigger and braver and how we could all laugh and joke about it over a Foster's Top! That's what he drunk so probably deserves everything he got the mug!! No offense to any FT drinkers I sometimes have a dash of lime in my lager if i'm honest but only occassionaly

Awwww lucky man - I absolutely LOVE George Clinton. 8)

...on another note - can't stop listening to Herbie Hancock lately. Only just discovered his music (bizarrely) and he's a genius. Anyone else like him?

I loved that one song Rockit

Apparently his sales have skyrocketed since the Grammy. Must be something to it... must investigate...

Oh God there are loads - but this is the current fave album:

 

[fatphilb]

Surely its sharing!! Dont be a grumpy Scottish pri.ck!!

George Clinton is a true don! Funkadelic, 1 of the main reasons that i got involved in this whole genre!! Remember the day so well, that i bought the 1 Nation Albumn, still sounds great!!
'who says a funk band cant play rock music........' bad bad tune!!

Herbie Hancock, got the Rockit Albumn, class!
