youtube comment:
the shit larry graham does with the bass on this song is beyond belief. so gentle but so much power behind it. reminds me of a huge lazy ground sloth that could kill you if it wants but it's just pluckin berries from the tree lyin in the sun being stupid

i was listening to this song while driving in the middle of the night, and a sneaking feeling washed over me.
i felt truly connected to everything in the universe, that we were all one, that there is some great beyond maybe someday we'll discover that changes our very own perceptions as humans. i pulled to the side of the highway and cried. laughed and cranked the volume.

Sly is probably my favourite musician ever. Cornel West does a pretty good job of explaining why here:


Soul music.

These are getting increasingly impossible. I love Funkadelic despite or perhaps because of their inconsistencies - live version of One Nation Under a Groove is just incredible., I keep coming back to it.

But...There's a Riot Goin' On. Even if *that* sound was the result of an overactive libido rather than an artistic decision - is that legend true?

I don't get Funkadelic at all. I saw them live in 1997 and it was tedious, like watching The Grateful Dead or some shit. Their influence has always seemed to me to be noxious too.

There's something fundamentally American about it, so Craner's Grateful Dead comparison makes sense. It depends it you can stomach that - I'm sure there's a canon somewhere of vaguely credible US acts* that cause cultural confusion for Europeans, or at least the UK. I think I spent enough time in the US to be more lenient, it's the only thing I can think of.

*ie not Ted Nugent

I can definitely stomach America, in fact I like it a lot. I don't think that is the reason.
