there's this great TV series called tales from the bus tour, which has an episode or two about Funkadelic, do yourself a favor and watch it, it's amazing (all of the series)
I'm friends with one of the touring musicians for funkadelic so I GOTTA watch this. Wonder if he's in the background at all...
[Edit] whoops nevermind, he toured with Parliament-Funkadelic which was the post-Funkadelic supergroup (he also is the reason for Chaka Khan's sister's stage name, Taka Boom!)
amazing!
