And that AV Club Onion piece lists the name of Mills' fanzine wrong (I wrote for it btw, I had met Mills when we were both at the U of Md)...it was Uncut Funk not Under The Funk

lol Under the Funk doesn't even make any sense

"edited by music critic Dave Marsh"

Sounded great up to that part.

Bill Magill, Wednesday, 31 March 2010 21:26 (fourteen years ago) link

eh, pretty sure he was also the editor for the Sly "Off the Record" book, which is one of the greatest music bios ever (if not THE best)

Oh yeah I saw that. How sad. Love his fashion style as well as his musicianship.

Bummer, best wishes Garry

Funkadelic. Their recordings with Eddie Hazel are monumental funky guitar bam-a-lam. Since Hendrix was namechecked by George C. himSELF I propose that theoretically Jimi would have adopted a sound similar to Funkadelic crossed with '69 - '74 Miles Davis by the end of 1972. But his lyrics would've been much better; Jimi is under-rated as a wordsmith IMO.

Just listened to the version he sang on Material's Third Power of "Cosmic Slop." Seriously fantastic vocal.

Fo' sho'. That album's unfairly dismissed imo.

The Mothership — the iconic stage prop made famous by legendary funk collective Parliament-Funkadelic — has been acquired by the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture where it will help anchor a permanent music exhibition when the museum opens its doors in 2015

I got excited for a second there and thought they found it, but it's just a replica.

well "real"... I guess I should say "original"

The original one was destroyed by outraged fans when it accidentally landed at the Hootie concert.

I didn't even know they had a replica - I told Kim Manning (current P-Funk vocalist) I wanted to try and build George a new Mothership...
