It was their 10th studio album from Funkadelic as opposed to what we now know as Parliament Funkadelic.
speaker_0HOST
It was released through Warner Brothers Records, and it is considered to be the commercial and creative peak of George Clinton's Parliament Funkadelic Empire.
speaker_0HOST
It was recorded primarily at United Sound Studios in Detroit.
speaker_0HOST
And it was an evolution in the band's identity because it moved them away from their heavy psychedelic guitar rock to a more danceable funk style.
MattHOST
Grateful Dead.
MattHOST
And then... uh, George Clinton, what's his band?
AaronHOST
Well, I was going to say, it's gotta be, I don't put, I don't put Funkadelic out there, but
MattHOST
yeah.
Chris ComaratoGUEST
I took a few quotes out when I read the book.
Chris ComaratoGUEST
He says, I'm not going to pretend that my desire to top our previous tour in terms of theater was not somewhat motivated by the fact that KISS and George Clinton had just raised the bar by producing some great rock and roll spectacles.
Chris ComaratoGUEST
I wanted our show to have added dimensions beyond just spectacle.
Chris ComaratoGUEST
And so, I mean, that was what it was, right? This is 1978.
NasGUEST
Right? And, and-
Steve StouteGUEST
100% ... we get this, last year, George Clinton went, he did, he brought the mothership.
Steve StouteGUEST
[laughs]
NasGUEST
He did, he did a mothership thing for us, and it, it was just mind-blowing to see him reciting Rakim's lyrics to Follow the Leader.
NasGUEST
This is George Clinton.
NasGUEST
He is the outer space guy.
NasGUEST
He is the g- the guy who shifted music, and then him reciting at 83 years old-
Jim GleasonHOST
connection cool
Steve CarlsonHOST
oh my god talk about a party record i mean it's basically it's like a concept album it's about black astronauts going up into outer space and meeting some space aliens and they just get funky they they start having a party and going at it and just You know, George Clinton, that's pure George Clinton.
Steve CarlsonHOST
They came with the Mothership now, which became a big part of their concerts, which didn't always work on here.
Steve CarlsonHOST
But you have P-Funk, Wanna Get Funked Up, Mothership Connection, Starchild, Unfunky UFO, Give Up the Funk, Tear the Roof Off the Sucker.
speaker_1NARRATOR
What I love is how the Foundation creates reunion moments across generations.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Dr. Dre meeting Kool Moe Dee and Slick Rick, George Clinton reciting Rakim lyrics, and Ice Cube and Scarface discussing craft, all showing a culture finally bringing its giants
speaker_1NARRATOR
into the same room.
speaker_1NARRATOR
As one speaker says, it is a room of love on another level.
Cynthia LoystHOST
can I ask you a question? Do you think something has changed in this era of social media? Because I think about when I was growing up, I actually learned a lot about political situations in the world through music.
Cynthia LoystHOST
and I remember specifically, I don't know how old I was, I was young, but I watched the music video for Sun City, which was, of course, this artists united against apartheid, and they included people like Bono, and George Clinton, Miles Davis, Bruce Springsteen, Ramones, they all got together because they were fighting against this particular resort in South Africa that still had segregation.
Cynthia LoystHOST
And so I didn't know anything about that at that time, so I learned about it.
Cynthia LoystHOST
Having said that, We weren't living in a time where then all of the people who previously played at Sun City, people who include Queen, Elton John, Dolly Parton, all of them, they didn't get cancelled as a result of that.
Ben JoravskyHOST
He can try to distance himself like he did in that commercial, but it's not going to work.
Ben JoravskyHOST
And ultimately, he's going to have to go back to Trump and back to the base, back to the mothership, George Clinton.
Ben JoravskyHOST
And if he's going to be sustained, that's his base.
Ben JoravskyHOST
If he breaks for them, he's got nothing.
Regan MaherHOST
So what are some of the songs? Do you remember? I know they played...
Regan MaherHOST
a version of, what is it, George Clinton
speaker_3UNKNOWN
and the Parliamental Funkadelic something.
Regan MaherHOST
They were big fans, and they're funky too.
Luca Ogawa DepardonGUEST
And that's really great.
Luca Ogawa DepardonGUEST
Like George Clinton, Parliament, that sort of stuff.
Luca Ogawa DepardonGUEST
But the second season is about country and outlaw country sort of stuff.
Luca Ogawa DepardonGUEST
And Townsend comes up, but they have a kind of a larger thing around like Marlon Wayne or what's his Marlon Jennings.
