in the Mothership?
Ten years ago on the Fourth of July GEORGE CLINTON performed in Central Park for the 20th anniversary of the Mothership Connection. I went to the show with my then fiance who was as avid a Funkadelic fan as I was. We tripped the day away on everything we could get our hands on and I mean everything.
The show was a magnificent display of sound, color and texture. BOOTSY COLLINS, BERNIE WORRELL, MACEO PARKER, DE LA SOUL and A TRIBE CALLED QUEST all graced the stage. The culmination of course was the landing of the mothership. The climax was later on that evening when my girlfriend and I made love. I was so hopped up on drugs that I ejaculated styrofoam. True story. My girlfriend and I would never get married and the flashbacks from that evening always remind me to forever leave acid alone lest I take a ride on the Mothership for good.
Yet I still have fond memories…
