NYT: "The Glorious Return of Funk"

"...a drum break of stupefyingly funky proportions"?!:eyebrow:

I get that it's an opinion piece, and it is a nice funky drum break, but if you grew up in the '60s and '70s like I did, that break is a dime a dozen.

The comment was just too much hyperbole for me, so I didn't go any further. I might be missing out on a lot by passing on the rest, but I'll just have to take that risk.
 
It was a good read. The line about the drum break was followed by a statement linking it to Clyde Stubblefield. Having grown up in the '50s to the present I thought I'd give it a go thru to see if the dots were connected properly.:thumbsup:
