My Furry Mothership Hat

In 1977 and everybody was doing Disco, I decided to go full on Funk. It was my way of rebelling while also joining in on the fun. I got myself a pair of Whalebones shoes, a stretchy nylon shirt with a big train on it, bought some Curtis Mayfield and Sly and the Family Stone albums, and that’s when it happened . I ran head on into George Clinton and Parliament Funk!
With its Mothership Connection, tunes like “Dr. Funkentstein's Supergroovalisticprosifunkstication Medley”, “Night Of The Thumpasorus People” the big hit “Tear The Roof Off The Sucker” and Bootsy Collins slappin’ his Space Bass, I was hooked on funk..
This wasn’t Disco, this was Disco on a bad batch of STP, a cross between downtown Detroit and Hollywood from some other dimension.
It was another one of those albums that when I took it to a party, I was handed back my big furry Mothership hat.
