George Clinton is an icon. It doesn't matter how hot it is outside or how advanced in years our icons become. We need them -- we need him -- to stay edgy. Otherwise, what does that say about us? Come on, George, we need your mojo back!

Do you really think his hair is his mojo? I like him with or without the colorful hair. Now he can be more incognito at festivals, or at the mall.

(Although it's really hard to deduce from a small full body picture, I think he looks better without the Cindy Lauper Hairdo) |

George Clinton can come out in the peacock wig, and drapery-esque outfits, or shorts and a t shirt, he's still P-funk no matter what. When a commentator says "they" need him to get his mojo back, they have no real idea what George Clinton the musician is about, only the image, and that is a very sad reflection of where our society is as a whole. Stupid, trendy, look oriented neophytes who believe their opinion actually means more than someones personal choice.
Give me P-funk in any matter of attire, and it's going to funk your world like no other. |

I don't care what George shows up in as long as he shows up. One of the best people in music bar none. One of my favorite P-Funk shows was at Red Rocks during the smokin grooves tour. The Radiators, Taj Mahal, et al. with P-Funk on last. The people parked next to us had never heard of George. I saw them at three other George shows after that. Nuff said.

Unmistakable who it was. Really nice guy, shook my hand when I apologized...said "No need, it's good to look around...take it all in"

Oh, and moved to Misc.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Dec 2008 Location: Long Island, NY | | | i wonder if this has something to do with the passing of gary shider? i'd assume he and george were very close, since they were together for what, 30+ years?
maybe hes giving up on the wild antics? or maybe its not that big of a deal...? |
