George Clinton's birthday

My personal pick in the repertoire has been Funkentelechy Vs. the Placebo Syndrome, but what do I know? It's all good.

    George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic are playing Bluesfest in Toronto Friday Night. We'll have to sing happy birthday.

    I've been more of Funkadelic fan myself, chosing between "Maggot Brain" and "Cosmic Slop".

    You tell him Flo! George is the final Master of Funk, having achieved a higher level of Funkolution than the rest of mankind. May he funk eternally. That's not his real hair, though.
