Most people experience some type of funk in their lives, while others are baptized in it.
On Sept. 23, the original “Dr. Funkenstein” came to Chapel Hill and rocked the house at Cat’s Cradle.
George Clinton and the P-Funk All Stars “funked it right on up” for a four-hour show of pure funk jubilation.
“The music puts me in a different state of mind,” said long time Parliament Funkadelic fan, James Reeves.
“I really appreciate George’s creativity. I mean the guy is a musical genius.”
The band attracted people from a myriad of backgrounds and ages.
All 23 members of the band served a purpose on stage in the name of freedom.
“The world needed our kinda music so we started makin’ it,” said trumpet player, Bennie Cowan.
After a temporary hiatus, the band has fallen back into place.
“I’ve been looking forward to doing shows with these guys for a while, especially with the guy in the diaper,” said Cowan pointing to Pooh-Pooh man.
“It would be ludicrous to think that we are new to this,” said Clinton in agreement to Cowan.
“Some rap dudes now adopt the funk and use it in their music. Funk is the DNA of hip-hop.”
The crowds responded to the performance as all heads nodded and bodies busted into grooves to the psychedelic sounds of P-Funk. Sho’ ya right and tear the roof off the sucka!
