The Mothership Has Landed... yet some still need a flashlight!!!
I have been a funkateer since 76' snuck and saw the landing of the Mothership with my big cousin Sandy. That was the best concert I had ever seen.
9 years old came in the house half high on a contact singing " Make my funk the P Funk.." My mamma whupped my ass . Second hand weed smoke numbed the lashes.
One of the few moments when the ass whuppin didn't outweigh the action.
A couple of years ago I was in Amsterdam and had the opportunity to perform on stage as a backup singer for the P Funk AllStars.
Eddie Griffin and I entertained the good folks of holland to a month of shows at the Comedy Cafe there and through him I was allowed up on stage.Much to my surprise Micheal " Kid Funkadelic " Hampton , a fellow Clevelander recognized me and was like you know the words right? I was like hell yeah then he told me to go out onstage and sing . It wasn't like George would have known he was high as gas prices last summer.
I don't know how many of you have listened to the lyrics or read the great cartoons on the back of the old lp's. But George was dropping some real knowledge on them...

nice blog cortney...everytime i hear a p-funk tune, my mind automatically takes me back to the 70's & early 80's when p-funk ruled!!!
unfortunately i never saw any of their concerts but i heard they were "before their time" with the mothership landing on stage, funky costumes. it would be nice to have pfunk reunite and go on tour again, with maybe war, cameo and maybe rufus featuring chaka khan.
I had the opportunity to see them in concert out of their heyday during the 90's. Once was a concert in Grant Park in Atlanta in 91' where I ran into your girl Loleezy and the other was in Chicago during The Taste around about 95'. Those dudes definitely know how to party.
