I love that statement George Clinton once made as an introduction to the great instrumental Maggot Brain.
Watch the great Eddie Hazel playing Maggot Brain:

An excellent source for everything related to P-Funk can be found at the Motherpage.

This Funkadelic experience led me somehow to Bootsy Collins, former bass guitarist of James Brown.
He is a genius on the bass, had a great influence on the P-Funk and produced some great solo albums.
Gotta love it: Bootsy's space bass solo

George Clinton is around the music business for about five decades now, wow !!!. All the stuff George Clinton and that P-Funk staff produced in all those years was far away from being mainstream. And yet a lot of modern artists copied their ideas and even more are highly influenced and motivated by this creative and positive pool of energy and ideas.
