Description:
From a Plainfield, New Jersey, barber shop to the Mothership and beyond, George Clinton and P-Funk: An Oral History is the riotous story of the Parliafunkadelicment thang straight from the mouths of those who created and witnessed it: Clinton himself, Bootsy Collins, Bernie Worrell, and dozens of others. Clinton's transformation of the band from a bunch of acid-crazed former doo-woppers with loud amps into a slightly less crazed juggernaut that ruled late-'70s stages and airwaves is the main story here. But the heart of the book is the voices of those in and around the act; for instance, Clinton's explanation of how the Apollo moon landing affected his concepts: "I doubted logic ... 'cause the minute you say what goes up don't have to come down ... [when] they broke gravity, it was no longer true. So to me, everything else was suspect. When I heard, 'Man, that's bad,' and they meant good, I ain't gonna bet my life on nothing that's being said, 'cause it's too easy to change the meaning of a word. I don't believe in bad words. I was able to play with it." --Rickey Wright
