| | It's All About Funk Guitar Columns @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com |
 | | Funk lived for a few years symbiotically with Rap music. | | | Reason being was many punk artsists (like the RHCP) began to use funk influences in their music. | | | Funk is making a comeback, and expect to see more funk in the years to come (after all, I've got a band). |

| | Montreal Mirror - Music : George Clinton |
| | Clinton dumped the Parliaments name when Atlantic records bought up all the remaining contracts, opting instead to take the entire group and backing band over to Westbound records, where they began recording as Funkadelic, producing a fat, hard funk with a heavy dose of psychedelia. | | | One only has to listen to one of the many tumultuous funk monsters George has composed over the years to know that this man is definitely from another planet. | | | While the touring rolls on and on, George attests to using his "hotel bound" existence as the main tool for writing and coming up with new songs. |

| | George co-hosts this live music showcase with Donnie Simpson. | | | George, Billy Bass, Blackbyrd and Mudbone Cooper contributed a cut to the John Lennon tribute album, while Bootsy, Bernie and Dennis Chambers did a cut for the new Hendrix tribute album. | | | Clinton was always fascinated with multiple sounds interacting, and the early P.Funk records accomplished this through crude but interesting studio experiments while the later records used a vast number of different players, all resulting in a richly complex sound that still held together. |

| | CD Baby: GEORGE CLINTON & PARLIAMENT FUNKADELIC: Instant Live: State Theater Portland, ME 03-19-04 - from renotahoeshows |
| | The elder Clinton took over toward the end of the song, but not before we heard some rather X-rated lyrics, a crowd-pleaser for sure. | | | George got everyone singing along on this one - and speaking of odor, well, let's just say that there was something being smoked that wasn't tobacco by more than a few fans. | | | These fans were bursting at the seams with energy and were eager participants in arm waving and singing along, beginning with a "We want the funk" chant that was started by a band member and taken to new levels by the crowd. |

| | The Art of Funk George Clinton lets his `cosmic slop' spill onto the canvas |
| | With his flowing robes and peacock-hued hair extensions, funk grandfather George Clinton has established himself as one of the most colorful figures in pop music. | | | Working out of a trailer he had originally intended to use as an echo chamber for his recordings, the performer has completed at least 300 paintings so far. | | | ``Cosmic slop'' is one of many self-imposed musical descriptions of Clinton's group, the long-running funk collective Parliament-Funka delic. |

| | Funk-The Bucknellian-April 30 |
| | Clinton and his posse of funk stars may not be the obvious choice for a formal event, and perhaps "it wasn’t the best dancing music," as Tague said. | | | Before Clinton’s anticipated arrival, the cover band Like, Totally Awesome started off the festivities with a mix of ’80s and ’90s pop-rock cover songs. | | | If there was any doubt about the funk supremacy of Clinton, all concerns were dispelled as he arrive on stage with his patented, multi-colored dreadlocks partially tucked under a baseball cap, slapping people’s hands and moving around like a 20-something rock star instead of the 60-something funk musician he is. |
