    Dr. George Clinton is a musical intellect genius.🤗
    P-Funk took us thru the twlight zone.
    Robert Zimmerman (Bob Dylan) received a Nobel Prize for his incredible songwriting and musical influence.
    Dr. Clinton deserves Nobel Prize recognition for his surreal P-Funk musicology! 🎉
    Thanks for this Mothership connection.🤗😎🤟

    The Mothership Connection came to the Louisville Gardens and when Glean swing down sweet chariot and stop let me ride called down the mothership I can still hear that heartbeat thump today I remember the crowd screaming as It came down it was the most heavenly feeling you could ever have and when it landed George came out with that white Maxie fur coat and hat he came down those steps singing Dr. Funkenstein It seems like the world was in a cosmic eather. We love you Dr. Funkenstein your funk is the best 2023

    George sounds younger and clearer that he sounded when I worked with him and around him 1987 - 93 at P-Funks Labs. Good for you, George!

    I was in high school, and my brother came home from college for the summer, and brought home the first Funkadelic album, and said you got to hear this. That was over 52 years ago. I am still hooked. Always been a bigger Funkadelic fan, than Parliament. However, I love all of P-Funk Nation.

      ❤I first heard about yall through the Flashlight album and been hooked ever since I then began going back to your earlier songs, and instantly became Funk-duh-fidy with the Grove of P-Funk, I'm forever grateful for you and all your hard work Muclov-Checkit

    those 70's Parliament records are legendary. their live shows off the charts good. so happy to have seen George front Parliament about 10 years ago. 70 years old and he stood on his feet for 3 hours delivering. he is an earthly treasure and we're so lucky to still have him. LOVE YOU GEORGE!

    I raised my son with music. All music. Music I grew up with and loved. Parliament/Funkadelic was always in heavy rotation when my son was growing up. A couple months ago he asked me if I'd like to see George Clinton and P-Funk, again. I told him of course I would! He said, "Good! Because I just got us tickets to see them in Atlanta." (Aug 8)
    So...we got to spend that evening....taking it all in...my son and me. It was magic.

    Bad Cat Started With The Ohio Players. Wrote 1 Nation Under A Groove And he Wrote Knee Deep

    Omg I just got here and I'm super excited. I missed all the tours in the 70's moving around. But babyyyyy I finally got to see him 4yrs ago in concert @ my big age of 60. My kids had always heard me play his music from birth. I kicked it with my 34yr old daughter. She was jamming as hard as me. This man is handsome and doesn't age a bit. I will always be a funk-a-teer❤

    Great interview. I've been listening to George Clinton & P-funk (et al) for over 30 years. I just so happened to get this video recommended to me while I was watching some live performance videos of James Brown from the early 1970s. The algorithm got this one right.
    Peace & love...God bless!
