WoooooHooooo!!!
Not only am I going to catch them at B.B. King’s in The City, but Mrs. Dvl and I are actually bringing my 60+ y.o. mom with us—we just turned her on to the Mothership Connection a few months ago, and now we’re all stoked. How funky is that?
Ain’t no party like a P-Funk party and a P-funk party don’t stop!!!

(My apologies if this should have been posted to MPSIMS, but given that it’s mundane and personal about music, I thought to put it here.)
Ahhh… who?
The Godfather of Funk—one of the last of the greats who still has it together. Check out Wiki’s entries on Parliament-Funkadelic or P-Funk, or George Clinton, Bootsy Collins… except please excuse the white-breadedness of answering the question with references to Wiki. That was weird.
Better yet, go to pandor.com and set up a station based on Parliament, then get your groove on.
Going to see Big Ben as well?
Ok, sorry…I caught Clinton and P-Funk a few years ago (holy crap…that was in 1994…seems like yesterday), and damn, they rocked.
Saw them two years ago at the Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam. Awesome, awesome show.
That’s quite the combination, Miller!

Seconded!
Went to see the Doobie Brothers the other night. Oh, it was cool. But can you imagine Doobie n your funk?
I saw the original Mothership Connection tour in Birmingham AL in '76. I think I was the only white boy in the house. If I wasn’t, I never saw the other guy. 
I was nervous as hell when we walked in. The 70s in Birmingham were still a tense time for a black person to be surrounded by thousands of white people…or vice versa. I got a lot of cold stares, and noticed a lot of nudging and whispering. But the friends I was with played it down, I laughed off the ‘Oreo’ jokes, we all got blazed, and everybody found out that The White Boy could Bump (though not too gracefully, since I don’t have much ass to bump with).
I’ve always hoped that I wasn’t the only one there who was disabused of a stereotype or two.
To be honest, I’ve never been a big fan of P-Funk. George is just a tad too freaky for me. Give me the O’Jays or Mother’s Finest (or Led Zeppelin or James Taylor…) any day. But that show was a Life Experience.
Yes, Rodney, in the world of Dr. Funkenstein, we can all get along. 
I was gonna say, “Big Deal, we’ve had C-SPAN over here for years.”, but I guess I’ll just mosey on out of this thread.
Bow-wow-wow-yipee-yo-yipee-yay!
I saw them last Memorial Day and caught part of their set a few years earlier. That is a Fun Ass Band. Congrats, Rhythmdvl!
