It's 1971. Altamont has happened. Manson has happened. The Beatles have broken up. Sorry boomers, the sixties are dead. In this environment, Funkadelic 1.0 made their final statement before going into a chrysalis to emerge the funkier Funkadelic of the swinging 70s. And what a final statement it was--MAGGOT BRAIN. Today we talk the critically acclaimed album that also includes fart noises. Can you get to that!?
Our opening music is a song by us called "Never Say Never Again." You can find our band, More Of That, wherever you stream music (including Bandcamp).
Closing music this week is "A Tear For Eddie" by Ween.
