God bless George Clinton, ya"ll. Space oddities, extraterrestrial freak shows, spiritual salvation, and sex, drugs, more drugs, and something that sounded a lot like rock & roll. Such was the universe conjured up by visionary nut job George Clinton and a band that included Bootsy Collins, Bernie Worell, and Gary Shider. Shoutouts go to tearing the roof offa the sucker, making my funk the P-funk (indeed), and David Bowie (yeah that"s right). --Amy Linden
