P-Funk Hall of Fame, 1997

As an institution, I think the Hall of Fame is bullshit, but those ceremonies do produce some interesting moments.

Bootsy!

"Hurry up and bring my space bass. I got to hurry up and play before I come on myself."



It's also worth noting that Bootzilla will be on Jimmy Fallon tonight. Bootsy jammin' with The Roots? Oh lawd....

A fitting jam for the weekend.

Friday Funk (back from the dead!)

I've been absent, I know. I started my new gig in August and have been super busy. Frankly, blogging is one of the first things to go by the wayside in these situations. But I'll try to get a bit more regular with posting again. I have some things in the works - including a new podcast (finally!), of which this week's Friday Funk is a preview. But I won't divulge the podcast's theme until it's done. So there!

More pop than funk, but I digress.



I'm ready for the weekend. Though to be honest, I intend to make it a fairly productive one. But the weekend nevertheless. Enjoy it!
