Funk is the purest forms of music.
meaning, it does what music is ment to do. Move you.
Funk is the peak of Music.
Weather you listen to Metal only, or even progressive rock, deep down inside your heart loves that funk  |

It all goes back to the blues, man.

Funk is a train that takes you to Groove and Metal is a bus that takes you to Drive.
At this point I'm on the train, though not the Funk train. I'm using the push/pull and off-beat syncopations of funk without the disco influence. |

I don't even listen to pop music; it's bad enough that I write and play it.

Seriously, for me, blues/funk/r&b have always done it for me.
As I get older, metal is sneaking up on me, though.
IMO, whatever music moves you is whatever music moves you. |

Not only are those players on a higher level of Cosmic Consciousness than even George Clinton, their stage costumes make Bootsy look like he's wearing a potato sack

That and a steady source of fiber.
