WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.240 It was in Las Vegas. And they honored George 00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:07.879 and Nas and Rakim and a lot of other rappers. 00:00:08.419 --> 00:00:10.779 Dr. Dre actually came out from the audience and 00:00:10.779 --> 00:00:12.380 he was like, you know, while George was doing 00:00:12.380 --> 00:00:14.380 the panel, he was like, I just want to let y 00:00:14.380 --> 00:00:16.940 'all know, this man right here is the reason 00:00:16.940 --> 00:00:22.420 I am who I am. And there would be no Dr. Dre, 00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:25.359 which means no G -Funk, no Snoop Dogg, no this, 00:00:25.399 --> 00:00:27.519 that, and everything that came from that if it 00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:30.370 wasn't for this guy right here. that meant that 00:00:30.370 --> 00:00:34.750 meant so much just to we can see it in the music 00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:04.579 Welcome to Overeducated and Underemployed. We 00:01:04.579 --> 00:01:08.099 got a great show this week. Shonda Clinton from 00:01:08.099 --> 00:01:10.359 Parliament Funkadelic.

I hope to have her back because I feel 00:01:36.349 --> 00:01:38.209 like there's way more we can talk about in the 00:01:38.209 --> 00:01:40.689 future. But we really wanted to talk about this 00:01:40.689 --> 00:01:42.310 upcoming festival because it's the first year 00:01:42.310 --> 00:01:45.430 of it and it's a super cool thing to have here 00:01:45.430 --> 00:01:48.750 in Tallahassee.

A 00:03:38.050 --> 00:03:42.310 vocalist and composer? Yes, I have a... Take 00:03:42.310 --> 00:03:43.509 the credits, you can get it, right? Yeah, okay, 00:03:43.689 --> 00:03:48.699 yeah. Yes, I am. And you're Georgia's granddaughter, 00:03:48.939 --> 00:03:51.539 is that correct? Yes, I am. Okay. You are also 00:03:51.539 --> 00:03:54.639 the organizer of the upcoming P -Funk Fest here 00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:58.080 in Tallahassee. I am that. That is what I would 00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:00.360 love to discuss with you today. Yes, the P -Funk 00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:04.039 Festival is coming to Tallahassee, Florida, and 00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:07.439 it's going to be all the things of the P -Funk 00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:10.319 universe. I'm super excited about it. Me too. 00:04:10.419 --> 00:04:12.259 I can't wait. It's going to be awesome. I'm going 00:04:12.259 --> 00:04:14.639 to start by asking the same question I ask everybody 00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:17.860 on this show. Okay. And then we'll go anywhere 00:04:17.860 --> 00:04:19.800 from there that you want to go. Let's do it. 00:04:20.379 --> 00:04:22.959 What is the first song that you remember loving 00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:26.699 as a kid? The first P -Funk song I remember loving. 00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:31.379 It's a lot. When I grew up with them all. Maybe 00:04:31.379 --> 00:04:36.120 Knee Deep. Okay. Do you remember any memories? 00:04:36.860 --> 00:04:40.439 My mother played it to death. My mother played 00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:45.259 it to death. It was a household favorite. When 00:04:45.259 --> 00:04:47.000 was the first time you started going to the shows? 00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:49.560 Oh, I've been going to the shows all my life. 00:04:49.660 --> 00:04:51.959 Since you were a baby? Yeah, my mom has pictures 00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:55.100 of me when I was like eight months. With her 00:04:55.100 --> 00:04:58.819 holding me in the audience. That's awesome. What 00:04:58.819 --> 00:05:03.279 was that like? Because I feel like... That's 00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:04.839 an experience that not a lot of people have, 00:05:04.939 --> 00:05:08.800 right? George is a ham. And he's the same on 00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:12.500 and off stage. Awesome, awesome growing up. Yeah. 00:05:12.540 --> 00:05:15.360 He's always a fun person. He seems like he would 00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.079 be a great grandfather. He is. He really is. 00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:21.399 And fun. Yeah. And he loves music, all kinds 00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:25.180 of music. So I've never had the grandfather that, 00:05:25.220 --> 00:05:28.420 that's not good for you to listen to. That's 00:05:28.420 --> 00:05:30.339 the kind of music that he likes. That's the kind 00:05:30.339 --> 00:05:33.240 of music he makes. Yeah, exactly. That most parents 00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:36.180 don't want their kids to listen to. Right, right. 00:05:36.220 --> 00:05:38.220 That's when George says, that's what I want to 00:05:38.220 --> 00:05:43.879 do. Yeah, yeah. Yes. So when did you decide that 00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:46.040 you wanted to be part of it all and not just 00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:49.079 like in the audience? Okay. I've been working 00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:53.079 with the band for over 30 years. I came out when 00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:56.519 I was a teenager. I first started in... 1994, 00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:59.480 when I was 15 years old, on the Lollapalooza 00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:04.259 tour, I was doing merch for... I was probably 00:06:04.259 --> 00:06:06.759 doing merch for about four years or so. I saw 00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:08.920 merch as a teenager, too. That was my first job. 00:06:09.139 --> 00:06:13.540 See? Exactly. Yes, and then Gary Scheider, rest 00:06:13.540 --> 00:06:17.220 his soul, one of the artists that are usually 00:06:17.220 --> 00:06:19.980 in the show, she wasn't there that day. So he's... 00:06:19.980 --> 00:06:24.550 All the words. And I'm like, maybe, but I don't 00:06:24.550 --> 00:06:28.370 want to. And we were in France at the Hot Brass 00:06:28.370 --> 00:06:31.490 Club in Paris. And he was like, go ahead, get 00:06:31.490 --> 00:06:33.850 on stage and do the show. And I'm like, but what 00:06:33.850 --> 00:06:36.189 if I forget the words? And Gary said, in Gary 00:06:36.189 --> 00:06:39.769 fashion, they don't know. I said, hey, you know 00:06:39.769 --> 00:06:44.009 what? They don't. And that began my rap career. 00:06:44.310 --> 00:06:47.009 Especially in France. Yes. Exactly. You definitely 00:06:47.009 --> 00:06:49.930 don't know there. Yes. And I rapped for years 00:06:49.930 --> 00:06:53.949 and years. Then after a while, I went back and 00:06:53.949 --> 00:06:57.430 got a degree and came back and did tour management. 00:06:57.709 --> 00:07:03.449 And now I am a festival organizer. So I feel 00:07:03.449 --> 00:07:07.209 like George always integrated all types of music 00:07:07.209 --> 00:07:11.209 into his music and made it something different. 00:07:11.569 --> 00:07:15.449 But I do feel like the 90s, around the time that 00:07:15.449 --> 00:07:18.310 you're talking about, is around the time that 00:07:18.310 --> 00:07:20.550 he got more and more into hip hop, right? Yes, 00:07:20.550 --> 00:07:23.209 yes. Can you talk about that a little bit and 00:07:23.209 --> 00:07:29.389 how that came about? Yes. The West Coast is definitely 00:07:29.389 --> 00:07:33.069 what brought a lot of George's music to the forefront 00:07:33.069 --> 00:07:35.629 in the 90s with all the Snoops and Dr. Dre's 00:07:35.629 --> 00:07:41.269 and every Los Angeles cookout, the G -Funk era. 00:07:41.689 --> 00:07:45.610 And that's when all of the rappers began to come 00:07:45.610 --> 00:07:48.560 to him because it wasn't just the samples. Because, 00:07:48.620 --> 00:07:50.560 of course, the samples are cool, but George is 00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:53.120 cool. So it was cool to have his samples, but 00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:55.160 it was even cooler to have George on the album. 00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:57.339 He's like the epitome of cool. Exactly. Yeah, 00:07:57.339 --> 00:08:01.480 yeah. So that's when I seen my favorite rappers 00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:04.740 calling George their favorite artist. That's 00:08:04.740 --> 00:08:07.459 when it was like, wow, mind -blowing. Snoop, 00:08:07.459 --> 00:08:09.439 I love Snoop, I love Snoop. And Snoop was like, 00:08:09.540 --> 00:08:12.420 no, I love George. And I'm like, George? Oh, 00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:15.379 I guess, you know. So did you think he was cool 00:08:15.379 --> 00:08:17.740 growing up, or was he just grandpa? He was cool. 00:08:17.819 --> 00:08:20.100 He was always cool because he's a cool guy. But 00:08:20.100 --> 00:08:23.699 he was just Grandpa. And he always acted like 00:08:23.699 --> 00:08:27.819 Grandpa. It was never security. He just wasn't 00:08:27.819 --> 00:08:30.680 that type of guy. But when your favorite artists 00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.080 start telling you that. Then I'm like, oh, he 00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:36.419 really is the guy. That makes sense, yeah. Yeah, 00:08:36.419 --> 00:08:38.200 all of the Scarface. Legitimize him for you. 00:08:38.340 --> 00:08:41.039 My favorite artists from the 90s, Scarface and 00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:44.419 Snoop and all of them. I love them and they love 00:08:44.419 --> 00:08:48.320 him. So that's awesome. Yeah. Yeah. And then 00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:52.159 I can see how like that gave you an outs like 00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:54.259 that outsider perspective because you grew up 00:08:54.259 --> 00:08:56.759 with it just always being there and maybe maybe 00:08:56.759 --> 00:08:59.259 even taking it for granted. Oh, definitely. Definitely. 00:08:59.299 --> 00:09:02.000 And then and then all of a sudden you're like, 00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:06.360 oh, wait a second. I'm with the man. That's that's 00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:09.139 crazy. That's crazy. So you started tour managing 00:09:09.139 --> 00:09:12.960 at one point. Yes. I bet that was I bet that 00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:16.360 was one of the hardest jobs. It is. I'm still 00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:18.379 the tour manager right now. I am the tour manager. 00:09:18.620 --> 00:09:21.120 So you've got to manage Danny too? That's got 00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:23.860 to be like herding cats. Danny is one of the... 00:09:23.860 --> 00:09:28.740 So we've both known Danny a long time. Me and 00:09:28.740 --> 00:09:31.039 Danny were actually in a group together. Besides 00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:34.279 P -Funk. We were in Children of Production. So 00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:38.139 yes, Danny is family. So I carried that record 00:09:38.139 --> 00:09:40.799 at Vinyl Fever back in the day. That was one 00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:44.049 of the records that Danny had... That's how I 00:09:44.049 --> 00:09:46.350 met Danny. Okay, nice. Because I ran the local 00:09:46.350 --> 00:09:51.070 section and Danny was bringing the self -titled, 00:09:51.070 --> 00:09:53.750 the sweet mother child, the people connection, 00:09:53.750 --> 00:09:57.350 all that stuff. Anyway. Yes. So that, yeah, that 00:09:57.350 --> 00:09:59.970 connects it all for me too. Yes. And becoming 00:09:59.970 --> 00:10:04.970 a tour manager, I was already there. Just learning 00:10:04.970 --> 00:10:07.250 the ins and outs. When I first came in and I 00:10:07.250 --> 00:10:10.830 was doing the merch, my aunt. And Uncle Barbarella 00:10:10.830 --> 00:10:13.289 and Sean were actually working with the tour 00:10:13.289 --> 00:10:16.230 managers at the time. So I got a lot of insight 00:10:16.230 --> 00:10:20.409 from them. So it wasn't much of a turnover. And 00:10:20.409 --> 00:10:24.330 they all loved me. But I wasn't little Shonda 00:10:24.330 --> 00:10:28.049 anymore now. Tour manager Shonda. You're the 00:10:28.049 --> 00:10:29.610 one that has to make sure that they're where 00:10:29.610 --> 00:10:31.129 they're supposed to be when they got to be there. 00:10:31.129 --> 00:10:35.470 Exactly. And that's hard to do. How did you handle 00:10:35.470 --> 00:10:38.769 that dynamic shift? It wasn't hard. It wasn't 00:10:38.769 --> 00:10:41.620 hard. Everybody in the band is my family, and 00:10:41.620 --> 00:10:44.919 they all have the utmost respect. And they all 00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:48.679 see that I was always a boss. So it wasn't far 00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:51.600 -fetched for them to see. And I'm cool. I try 00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:55.059 to be. I want the best for them so everybody 00:10:55.059 --> 00:10:58.779 understands and appreciates that. It doesn't 00:10:58.779 --> 00:11:02.539 seem like I'm being bossy if the end result is 00:11:02.539 --> 00:11:06.320 helping us all. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sometimes people 00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:11.980 need to get kicked in the ass. For sure. So how 00:11:11.980 --> 00:11:16.340 has that job changed over the years? I can think 00:11:16.340 --> 00:11:19.960 of a bunch of things categorically that have 00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:22.539 changed, whether it's the technology and the 00:11:22.539 --> 00:11:26.379 way that you book things to the costs that are 00:11:26.379 --> 00:11:28.740 involved and the insurance and everything. What 00:11:28.740 --> 00:11:30.379 are some of the biggest challenges you've faced 00:11:30.379 --> 00:11:35.350 over the years that have changed? involved in 00:11:35.350 --> 00:11:38.629 the whole industry over the last 30 years, everything 00:11:38.629 --> 00:11:41.029 has changed. The way people listen to music, 00:11:41.090 --> 00:11:43.529 the way they buy music, the way they record music. 00:11:44.110 --> 00:11:46.950 The way artists make music. Exactly. And the 00:11:46.950 --> 00:11:49.110 way artists make money. And the way everybody 00:11:49.110 --> 00:11:51.889 makes money. And the cost of things. It's all 00:11:51.889 --> 00:11:56.289 relative. But the one thing that's the constant 00:11:56.289 --> 00:11:58.750 and will always be the constant is live music. 00:11:58.830 --> 00:12:02.029 It's going to be there. We can have all of the... 00:12:02.830 --> 00:12:05.929 The AI and everything, but getting on that stage 00:12:05.929 --> 00:12:08.990 is different. And that's something that P -Funk 00:12:08.990 --> 00:12:14.370 has mastered. I've seen at least a dozen P -Funk 00:12:14.370 --> 00:12:18.129 shows every year. Probably 20 or more. And this 00:12:18.129 --> 00:12:21.669 isn't with a lot of artists. Majority of artists 00:12:21.669 --> 00:12:25.450 tour when they have an album or a hit album or 00:12:25.450 --> 00:12:27.470 something they're trying to produce. I've been 00:12:27.470 --> 00:12:31.750 in a band over 30 years, and we've been on tour. 00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:35.019 every year for the last 30 years yeah and that's 00:12:35.019 --> 00:12:38.460 only 30 years for me they've been on for a since 00:12:38.460 --> 00:12:41.440 atomic i think 50 years before that yeah i think 00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:42.860 the only time he took a break it might have been 00:12:42.860 --> 00:12:45.539 a couple of years in the early 80s or something 00:12:45.539 --> 00:12:48.639 he doesn't stop and then he it seems like that 00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:51.320 was when he was starting to get more into doing 00:12:51.320 --> 00:12:55.519 film cameos exactly that's when PCU and House 00:12:55.519 --> 00:12:59.000 Party. That may have been my first exposure to 00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:01.139 George. And you know what's so cool? And that's 00:13:01.139 --> 00:13:04.139 what's so cool about George is how he completely 00:13:04.139 --> 00:13:07.659 reinvents himself over and over. Harriet the 00:13:07.659 --> 00:13:11.039 Spy. Yeah. And I meet so many people. It was 00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:12.559 Good Burger. Good Burger. Good Burger, yeah. 00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:14.539 And I was going to say, like, throughout the 00:13:14.539 --> 00:13:20.559 eras, he completely renovates his... reinvents 00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:22.820 himself, is what I'm saying. Yeah, so, you know, 00:13:22.980 --> 00:13:26.019 like, from PCU in, what was that, the early 90s? 00:13:26.100 --> 00:13:29.080 94, I think it was. Yeah, 94. And I think House 00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:32.220 Party was a little later than that. Yeah. And 00:13:32.220 --> 00:13:34.620 I think PCU is one of those movies that's actually, 00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:36.759 it's like more relevant now than it was. It's 00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:39.240 a cult classic. It really is. I love that movie. 00:13:39.340 --> 00:13:41.279 And so those were the early 90s, but then you 00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:44.279 had the 2000s when he did Good Burger. So he's 00:13:44.279 --> 00:13:46.340 completely... And I was a kid when that came 00:13:46.340 --> 00:13:48.580 out. Yes, and you have all of these generations. 00:13:48.779 --> 00:13:51.580 that are being reintroduced to him over and over 00:13:51.580 --> 00:13:53.980 again. And then just look at, as right now, he 00:13:53.980 --> 00:13:57.379 just did Trolls. So he's King George. So these 00:13:57.379 --> 00:13:59.759 are all new generations. That's why this festival 00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:01.559 is going to be so awesome, because this band 00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:03.919 is so multi -generational. And he's turning 85 00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:06.580 this year. He's turning 85 this year. And what 00:14:06.580 --> 00:14:09.080 I love about this fest is it's celebrating his 00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:12.899 music, but also all of the music that spawned 00:14:12.899 --> 00:14:16.240 from him. The diaspora of... Parliament Funkadelic. 00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:18.659 Down to the God Be High marching band, which 00:14:18.659 --> 00:14:22.399 my mom taught at God Be for 37 years. I love 00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:25.059 that. So she's super excited for that, too. I 00:14:25.059 --> 00:14:28.240 love that. Yeah, and to incorporate the community 00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:31.960 into it, I think it's going to make a big impact. 00:14:32.059 --> 00:14:34.860 It's going to be awesome. Yeah. We've played, 00:14:34.899 --> 00:14:37.720 I don't even know how many shows I've done or 00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:40.059 even how many festivals I've done, but none like 00:14:40.059 --> 00:14:43.559 this. None. Like, where's all P -Funk? All P 00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:46.700 -Funk all day. Can you tell me about what was 00:14:46.700 --> 00:14:49.039 the original inspiration to do it? Is it something 00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:50.720 you've been wanting to do for a long time? Yes, 00:14:50.740 --> 00:14:52.419 it is something I've been wanting to do for a 00:14:52.419 --> 00:14:54.200 very, very long time. I've been talking about 00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:57.519 it for years and beating the band members in 00:14:57.519 --> 00:15:00.120 the head. I'm going to put the festival together. 00:15:00.220 --> 00:15:03.960 Watch. And actually, I think the reasoning behind 00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:07.460 it is I always thought it was so cool. the way 00:15:07.460 --> 00:15:12.519 George did the shows in the 70s, and it was Bill 00:15:12.519 --> 00:15:14.980 Parliament, Funkadelic, Boosie's Rubber Band, 00:15:15.460 --> 00:15:19.019 Parlette, Brides of Dr. Funkastine, and they 00:15:19.019 --> 00:15:23.299 were all the same people. Yeah, yeah. And that's 00:15:23.299 --> 00:15:26.500 where we are now, to a certain extent. Yeah, 00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:28.120 Danny's going to be playing in, like, eight bands 00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:30.500 that day. Exactly, and the same with Lodge, and 00:15:30.500 --> 00:15:33.960 the same with Benzo. And we have so many fans 00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:37.200 that... Each of the bands have their own niche. 00:15:37.899 --> 00:15:40.240 You've got a lot of the bands that love Secret 00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:43.080 Army, a lot of the bands that love 425 Mob and 00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:45.179 Lodge Delic. I know a bunch of people that are 00:15:45.179 --> 00:15:47.200 excited to see the Solar System play for the 00:15:47.200 --> 00:15:50.580 first time in like 15 years. Like, that's going 00:15:50.580 --> 00:15:53.320 to be crazy. So they've never seen them all together. 00:15:53.460 --> 00:15:55.879 So that's what it is. It's like the mothership 00:15:55.879 --> 00:15:59.639 and all the other ships. I think that's what 00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:02.759 makes it different. And with this... Our fans 00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:04.799 are like family. They've been fans for longer 00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:08.580 than I've been alive. We have fans. And so this 00:16:08.580 --> 00:16:11.820 is more like a family reunion. I look online 00:16:11.820 --> 00:16:14.460 and I see the different advertisements for the 00:16:14.460 --> 00:16:18.299 festival. And I see some fans like a lady that's 00:16:18.299 --> 00:16:23.110 in L .A. and somebody that's in New Jersey. They've 00:16:23.110 --> 00:16:26.149 been Facebook friends for 15 years. But they're 00:16:26.149 --> 00:16:28.490 like, I can't wait until we get to Tallahassee 00:16:28.490 --> 00:16:30.389 and have a drink and hug each other at the festival. 00:16:30.389 --> 00:16:33.269 I've never heard that sentence before. I can't. 00:16:33.789 --> 00:16:38.129 I'm sorry. Funk will do that. Well, P -Funk will 00:16:38.129 --> 00:16:41.289 bring the people to Tallahassee. I'm excited 00:16:41.289 --> 00:16:46.330 for that. We never get any. We get one or two 00:16:46.330 --> 00:16:48.549 cool things a year. Word of South is always cool. 00:16:48.549 --> 00:16:52.250 Word of South is awesome. And it's gotten like. 00:16:52.539 --> 00:16:54.860 substantially better over the years too and it 00:16:54.860 --> 00:16:57.960 just keeps getting better and in most of the 00:16:57.960 --> 00:17:02.360 time stuff like that gets like when it's not 00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:05.240 cool or like the things that happen to make things 00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:08.000 it's usually because of like neighbors complaining 00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:11.980 about noise how have you navigated all of that 00:17:11.980 --> 00:17:13.759 sort of thing and putting this festival together 00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:18.819 at phipps farm which the address is 4300 North 00:17:18.819 --> 00:17:21.180 Meridian, where the festival will be. It's actually 00:17:21.180 --> 00:17:24.720 private property. Right. So there's that aspect. 00:17:24.940 --> 00:17:28.039 But we've definitely tried to navigate and make 00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:30.259 sure, even with it being private property, to 00:17:30.259 --> 00:17:33.099 make sure everything is going to be great for 00:17:33.099 --> 00:17:37.160 the event. Working with a civil planner and just 00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:39.420 making sure we have everything covered in all 00:17:39.420 --> 00:17:42.740 the areas. Yeah. And making sure people are able 00:17:42.740 --> 00:17:47.849 to enjoy themselves And where it's located is 00:17:47.849 --> 00:17:50.769 not many neighbors. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's 00:17:50.769 --> 00:17:52.789 a great thing. So it's not going to be. And they 00:17:52.789 --> 00:17:56.369 all get passes. Exactly. We've already established 00:17:56.369 --> 00:17:59.029 that. That's what good neighbors do. When you 00:17:59.029 --> 00:18:00.789 throw a party, you just invite the neighbors 00:18:00.789 --> 00:18:05.059 to the party. Yes. Yes, they get a pass. We're 00:18:05.059 --> 00:18:07.420 inviting all the neighbors, and that's the cool 00:18:07.420 --> 00:18:09.880 thing, and it's a beautiful, beautiful piece 00:18:09.880 --> 00:18:11.940 of land. Yeah, it's gorgeous. It's going to be 00:18:11.940 --> 00:18:13.380 awesome. I love going hiking out there. Yeah, 00:18:13.400 --> 00:18:14.880 and I can't wait to see all the fun. In that 00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:18.299 area, the property itself. Yes. The vest is on. 00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:20.259 I don't think I've been to, but there's a park 00:18:20.259 --> 00:18:22.839 up there. Yes, that's also their property up 00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:24.740 in there. Yeah. So it's going to be awesome. 00:18:24.819 --> 00:18:27.519 I can't wait to see all the funk fans with the 00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:31.079 P -Funk signs in the air all excited and happy. 00:18:31.119 --> 00:18:34.289 It's going to be awesome. What are some of the 00:18:34.289 --> 00:18:36.650 things that you have been doing over the last 00:18:36.650 --> 00:18:41.069 few years that led to this, do you think? Touring. 00:18:41.569 --> 00:18:44.410 Always touring. And managing those tours. And 00:18:44.410 --> 00:18:48.490 I also, I'm a realtor and I also do mortgages. 00:18:48.490 --> 00:18:52.630 I'm a lender. So just more so than anything, 00:18:52.730 --> 00:18:55.869 I think just trying to uphold this legacy of 00:18:55.869 --> 00:18:58.710 George's and the whole P -Funk overall. That 00:18:58.710 --> 00:19:02.609 is what led me to it because... Luckily, right 00:19:02.609 --> 00:19:04.789 now where we are, George is really getting his 00:19:04.789 --> 00:19:07.190 flowers from across the board through the industry. 00:19:07.309 --> 00:19:11.930 The Walk of Fame and the Grammy, the Lifetime 00:19:11.930 --> 00:19:14.329 Achievement Award. Actually, right now, Maggie 00:19:14.329 --> 00:19:17.549 Brain has been inducted into the Grammy Museum, 00:19:17.809 --> 00:19:20.529 the album Maggie Brain. That's my favorite. Me 00:19:20.529 --> 00:19:22.950 too. That's my favorite. I think that's actually 00:19:22.950 --> 00:19:25.549 my favorite P -Funk song, Maggie Brain. Yes. 00:19:25.630 --> 00:19:29.049 Yeah. All of the accolades. that he's getting 00:19:29.049 --> 00:19:32.309 right now, I think is awesome. And it also brought 00:19:32.309 --> 00:19:37.509 me to where I am now, thinking that everybody 00:19:37.509 --> 00:19:41.269 should be a part of it. The whole P -Funk universe, 00:19:41.549 --> 00:19:44.349 the whole diaspora, everyone that has helped 00:19:44.349 --> 00:19:49.849 him to be where he is now. And to make everyone 00:19:49.849 --> 00:19:53.190 feel that it's just as much theirs as it is his, 00:19:53.369 --> 00:19:57.420 because that's how he is. Another Gary Scheider 00:19:57.420 --> 00:19:59.500 quote, we are no better than our surroundings. 00:20:00.299 --> 00:20:04.599 And George is like that. If you look at the pictures 00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:06.279 from back in the day, you'd be like, which one 00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:08.740 is George? He purposely did that. He's not the 00:20:08.740 --> 00:20:12.940 standout type guy. Yeah, yeah. Fortunately enough, 00:20:13.079 --> 00:20:15.339 the media and stuff, they zoom in on him because 00:20:15.339 --> 00:20:19.480 he's got that charisma. It's infectious. It's 00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:23.559 infectious. It really is. It really is. One thing 00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:25.500 that you mentioned earlier that kind of struck 00:20:25.500 --> 00:20:28.779 me to something I think that's helped George, 00:20:28.900 --> 00:20:32.259 like, preserve his legacy. Somebody, and I could 00:20:32.259 --> 00:20:34.920 be totally wrong about this, but I've heard that 00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:38.039 Kendrick Lamar reached out to George and was, 00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:42.039 like, part of him restoring, like, all right, 00:20:42.059 --> 00:20:44.640 I got to really protect my legacy and make sure 00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:46.440 that. That might have been, that might have been. 00:20:46.990 --> 00:20:48.970 That might have been a part of it because he 00:20:48.970 --> 00:20:51.529 loves him and Kendrick. He loves Kendrick and 00:20:51.529 --> 00:20:54.609 he loves his music. They've done a few songs. 00:20:54.750 --> 00:20:56.750 Kendrick actually came down here to Tallahassee 00:20:56.750 --> 00:20:59.930 when he worked on that first song on Kendrick's 00:20:59.930 --> 00:21:03.049 album. That definitely might have an effect on 00:21:03.049 --> 00:21:05.769 him. I just saw this parallel between back in 00:21:05.769 --> 00:21:08.650 the day, your favorite rappers really looking 00:21:08.650 --> 00:21:12.829 up to him. That kind of being part of it. I don't 00:21:12.829 --> 00:21:15.829 want to say a comeback, but I feel like him really... 00:21:16.359 --> 00:21:18.400 Coming back out. Yeah. Protecting his legacy. 00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:21.460 Restoring. Yes. And, like, putting this, like, 00:21:21.539 --> 00:21:24.119 all the things you're talking about. Yes. The 00:21:24.119 --> 00:21:26.559 Walk of Fame. Yes. Being in another movie. Yes. 00:21:26.940 --> 00:21:31.319 And all the things that us as the family, family, 00:21:31.500 --> 00:21:33.880 his family, and the P -Funk family, just all 00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:36.920 of the things that we are trying to do to celebrate 00:21:36.920 --> 00:21:39.519 the P -Funk universe. Yeah, exactly. You know, 00:21:39.539 --> 00:21:42.910 the festival and... Those Word of South shows 00:21:42.910 --> 00:21:44.670 were beautiful, too. Those are awesome. Those 00:21:44.670 --> 00:21:47.009 are really, really cool. That one last year was 00:21:47.009 --> 00:21:50.230 really spectacular. I really, really enjoyed 00:21:50.230 --> 00:21:54.089 it. Yeah. And the one before that was really 00:21:54.089 --> 00:21:56.869 good, too, but it got cut short. Yes. So I was 00:21:56.869 --> 00:21:58.849 really happy that they were like, all right, 00:21:58.950 --> 00:22:02.769 take the main stage. Yes. And there's going to 00:22:02.769 --> 00:22:05.349 be some involvement with Word of South this year, 00:22:05.390 --> 00:22:06.549 too. I know there's going to be like a Secret 00:22:06.549 --> 00:22:10.130 Army show. Oh, definitely Secret Army. I'm not 00:22:10.130 --> 00:22:11.829 sure if there's a P -Funk. Is there a P -Funk 00:22:11.829 --> 00:22:13.910 show as part of Word of South this year? I'm 00:22:13.910 --> 00:22:16.329 not sure. Okay. Then you'll have to come to P 00:22:16.329 --> 00:22:18.130 -Funk Fest to see it. That's what you will have 00:22:18.130 --> 00:22:20.430 to see. We will let you know at the P -Funk Fest. 00:22:20.450 --> 00:22:22.890 There you go. For sure. There you go. Tell me 00:22:22.890 --> 00:22:25.309 more about what all is going to be going on in 00:22:25.309 --> 00:22:27.910 the P -Funk Fest. I know there's 14 bands, 15 00:22:27.910 --> 00:22:31.910 bands. To say the least, yes, we have. It's going 00:22:31.910 --> 00:22:36.319 to be 12 hours of fun. And funk. And the perfect 00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:38.440 time of year, like the weather. The weather should 00:22:38.440 --> 00:22:42.759 be awesome. We're going to have vendors and food 00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:48.519 and crafts, and it's all ages. We're looking 00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:53.339 into a silent disco with the God Be Marching 00:22:53.339 --> 00:22:55.940 Band. We're going to do a ribbon cutting because 00:22:55.940 --> 00:22:58.559 this is the first inaugural, and it will happen 00:22:58.559 --> 00:23:03.180 every year. Nice. The marching band, high school 00:23:03.180 --> 00:23:06.670 marching band, art installations, as well as 00:23:06.670 --> 00:23:09.109 different activations from our different sponsors 00:23:09.109 --> 00:23:11.390 that are going to be there. We're looking to 00:23:11.390 --> 00:23:14.450 have a component of all the archive things that 00:23:14.450 --> 00:23:17.190 he's done, like all the different works and stuff. 00:23:17.390 --> 00:23:21.390 But yeah, he's an artist, definitely to put a 00:23:21.390 --> 00:23:23.470 spotlight on his art. But all of the different 00:23:23.470 --> 00:23:27.369 bands, 420 Funk Mob, Tallahassee's own Kendra 00:23:27.369 --> 00:23:30.910 Foster. Oh yeah, I love Kendra. Yes, that's my 00:23:30.910 --> 00:23:36.119 sister. 420 Funk Mob, Logidelic, Simma Funk is 00:23:36.119 --> 00:23:38.640 going to sit in. Norwood Fisher is going to sit 00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:41.519 in, as well as a lot of other special guests. 00:23:42.259 --> 00:23:44.339 So we're not going to announce everything. You 00:23:44.339 --> 00:23:46.599 got to come to see. It's going to be fantastic. 00:23:46.599 --> 00:23:48.759 It's going to be awesome. It's going to be awesome, 00:23:48.819 --> 00:23:51.759 awesome, awesome, awesome. And as well as 3GP, 00:23:51.880 --> 00:23:54.660 which are all of the younger, third generation 00:23:54.660 --> 00:23:58.039 of Parliament. We have Peso Paid. He's from here 00:23:58.039 --> 00:24:02.809 in Tallahassee. 13 is from Tallahassee. Solar 00:24:02.809 --> 00:24:05.089 System we mentioned earlier. Solar System is 00:24:05.089 --> 00:24:07.190 here from Tallahassee. Pharaohs of Funk. Oh, 00:24:07.210 --> 00:24:08.829 yeah. Pharaohs of Funk is great. They will be 00:24:08.829 --> 00:24:12.589 there. Yeah, it's going to be great. Starchild 00:24:12.589 --> 00:24:17.349 Jr., God's Weapon, and so many more. We're going 00:24:17.349 --> 00:24:20.970 to have a lot of pop -ups and special guests 00:24:20.970 --> 00:24:23.789 and things like that. I'm excited. It's going 00:24:23.789 --> 00:24:26.349 to be awesome. What are some of the biggest challenges 00:24:26.349 --> 00:24:29.470 or maybe something unexpected that came up? That's 00:24:29.470 --> 00:24:32.029 coming up with this? Oh, it's a lot. I'm sure 00:24:32.029 --> 00:24:35.690 there's a laundry list of things. You know, just 00:24:35.690 --> 00:24:39.970 scaling it so it makes sense for us for the first 00:24:39.970 --> 00:24:42.809 one. Yeah. Because more so than anything, I want 00:24:42.809 --> 00:24:45.349 it to be a celebration. I want it to be intimate. 00:24:45.410 --> 00:24:47.869 I want the fans to feel like they're a part of 00:24:47.869 --> 00:24:50.609 something special. You go from this big thing, 00:24:50.630 --> 00:24:53.829 okay, let's have... Three days and five stages. 00:24:54.410 --> 00:24:58.170 Do we really want to even try to do that right 00:24:58.170 --> 00:25:02.710 now? Let's let it organically grow. Especially 00:25:02.710 --> 00:25:04.950 when there's so many of the same musicians, it 00:25:04.950 --> 00:25:07.670 makes it easier to have things backlined on stage. 00:25:08.170 --> 00:25:11.230 Exactly. So I think that's great for this first 00:25:11.230 --> 00:25:14.529 one, for the foundation of it. I think it will 00:25:14.529 --> 00:25:17.670 take legs. And then you don't have to pick who 00:25:17.670 --> 00:25:21.799 you go watch. Hello? A fan of festivals, my biggest 00:25:21.799 --> 00:25:24.619 frustration. Is choosing which one you want to 00:25:24.619 --> 00:25:27.259 watch at one time. And that was the one thing, 00:25:27.380 --> 00:25:31.920 like even as we do grow and we have two and three 00:25:31.920 --> 00:25:34.759 stages and things, I don't want you to miss one 00:25:34.759 --> 00:25:37.359 band to see the other. So anytime we have our 00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:39.539 shows, it will definitely be staggered time so 00:25:39.539 --> 00:25:42.460 you can get a chance to see all, because everybody 00:25:42.460 --> 00:25:45.119 deserves a chance to be seen. Especially when 00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:47.539 we're doing it, this is the family, the P -Funk 00:25:47.539 --> 00:25:50.299 family. We don't want you to have to choose which 00:25:50.299 --> 00:25:52.940 one that you're going to watch. Right. Well, 00:25:52.980 --> 00:25:55.079 and plus some of them would have to, the scheduling 00:25:55.079 --> 00:25:59.140 would be a nightmare. Exactly. You would need 00:25:59.140 --> 00:26:02.599 like the craziest Venn diagram or Excel spreadsheet. 00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:06.299 Exactly. To make it make sense. You guys have 00:26:06.299 --> 00:26:08.640 played a ton of festivals over the years too. 00:26:08.779 --> 00:26:11.940 Tons, really big ones. What are some of the things 00:26:11.940 --> 00:26:14.299 that you think you learned by playing festivals 00:26:14.299 --> 00:26:18.180 that you've put into organizing festivals? One 00:26:18.180 --> 00:26:20.799 thing I learned is not to be the Fyre Festival. 00:26:21.700 --> 00:26:24.900 Yeah, like remote locations are always... Yeah, 00:26:25.440 --> 00:26:29.660 yeah. That's... Wishy -washy. I've learned that 00:26:29.660 --> 00:26:34.319 it's a lot of moving parts to make it make sense 00:26:34.319 --> 00:26:37.680 because you can get overwhelmed with the ideas 00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:41.900 of things. Making it make sense where it doesn't 00:26:41.900 --> 00:26:44.799 fall through or now what are we going to do with 00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:48.309 this? And now... And then with us doing it ourselves, 00:26:48.690 --> 00:26:53.210 this is not Live Nation or any big promoters 00:26:53.210 --> 00:26:54.930 or anything. This is the family that's putting 00:26:54.930 --> 00:26:58.269 it together. A lot of people, that's a selling 00:26:58.269 --> 00:27:00.710 point, right, in not being Live Nation or something 00:27:00.710 --> 00:27:03.910 like that. But that's also not having Live Nation 00:27:03.910 --> 00:27:06.250 money also. Yeah, that's true. That's the engine 00:27:06.250 --> 00:27:10.049 behind that. It's just coming from another level 00:27:10.049 --> 00:27:16.099 of promotions, you know. I think that that becomes 00:27:16.099 --> 00:27:17.900 a little difficult. I think there's a reason 00:27:17.900 --> 00:27:22.019 that punk and funk rhyme. They run on the same 00:27:22.019 --> 00:27:25.619 budget. Yeah, I can agree with that. I definitely 00:27:25.619 --> 00:27:28.400 can agree with that, for sure. And I mean that 00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:34.140 in an innovative, DIY, creative way. Yes. And 00:27:34.140 --> 00:27:37.779 it's one of the things I love about both. And 00:27:37.779 --> 00:27:40.019 you see it in the art. Yeah, you do. You see 00:27:40.019 --> 00:27:41.920 it in the art. The expression. Kind of like. 00:27:42.559 --> 00:27:46.720 almost like folk art kind of aspect of Parliament 00:27:46.720 --> 00:27:49.660 Funkadelic. I think that, like when you look 00:27:49.660 --> 00:27:52.319 at the mothership, it looks like, you know, like 00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:55.160 aliens actually built, but they actually, they 00:27:55.160 --> 00:27:56.839 had to use some scrap metal maybe here and there 00:27:56.839 --> 00:28:00.980 too. Exactly, exactly. But P -Funk is just different. 00:28:01.359 --> 00:28:06.839 P -Funk isn't just funk. No. It encompasses so 00:28:06.839 --> 00:28:11.849 many different things. It is... and it's R &B 00:28:11.849 --> 00:28:16.029 and it's rock and it's jazz and it's blues and 00:28:16.029 --> 00:28:20.349 it's all of the things that, you know, no other 00:28:20.349 --> 00:28:23.170 genre. Who says a rock band can't play music? 00:28:23.430 --> 00:28:27.430 How about it? How about it? And George is just, 00:28:27.529 --> 00:28:31.430 and I just have such a respect for just his ear 00:28:31.430 --> 00:28:34.309 of everything. Like, he loves everything. Like, 00:28:34.309 --> 00:28:37.569 all kinds of music. And that's what music does. 00:28:37.670 --> 00:28:43.059 Music moves and removes. Yeah, yeah. And I think 00:28:43.059 --> 00:28:47.619 about over the years just as a fan of all of 00:28:47.619 --> 00:28:50.700 them, like the whole collective, the live shows 00:28:50.700 --> 00:28:54.299 are always like what it's been about. Even when 00:28:54.299 --> 00:28:57.539 you're like portraying it in a movie like PCU 00:28:57.539 --> 00:28:59.619 or something like that, it's always the live 00:28:59.619 --> 00:29:03.759 show. It's always the party. Yeah, the party. 00:29:03.859 --> 00:29:07.039 The party that goes all night. Ain't no party 00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:09.279 like a P -Funk party because a P -Funk party 00:29:09.279 --> 00:29:13.680 don't stop. Your feet will fall off before they 00:29:13.680 --> 00:29:16.900 stop playing. Yes. Yes, I remember doing a show 00:29:16.900 --> 00:29:22.420 at Tipitina's in New Orleans in the mid to late 00:29:22.420 --> 00:29:27.599 90s. And this was actually, I think it was after, 00:29:27.680 --> 00:29:29.680 it might have been after Smoking Grooves, which 00:29:29.680 --> 00:29:34.599 was 1997. So we did, when we do festivals at 00:29:34.599 --> 00:29:37.200 P -Funk. This is how P -Funk does festivals. 00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:39.539 We do a festival in the daytime and we get an 00:29:39.539 --> 00:29:42.359 hour or 45 minutes or whatever. And then we do 00:29:42.359 --> 00:29:46.599 a full -blown show every night. So we did a show 00:29:46.599 --> 00:29:49.720 in New Orleans, wherever we played at the arena 00:29:49.720 --> 00:29:53.099 or outside. But then we played at Tipitina. After, 00:29:53.319 --> 00:29:55.920 we literally, the show was six and a half hours. 00:29:56.000 --> 00:30:00.960 When we came out, the sun was up. The sun was 00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:09.740 up. all over all over from all over and decades 00:30:09.740 --> 00:30:13.019 and decades of it like the store the stories 00:30:13.019 --> 00:30:16.019 the stories behind p -funk are just like priceless 00:30:16.019 --> 00:30:19.119 just to hear people and anybody you meet in anybody 00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:21.619 i mean i'm like yeah i work with oh my god i 00:30:21.619 --> 00:30:25.640 met and it was crazy the stories are awesome 00:30:25.640 --> 00:30:30.660 awesome awesome awesome yeah yeah i um i went 00:30:30.660 --> 00:30:33.279 to a show with the moon one time I feel like 00:30:33.279 --> 00:30:36.180 Scott was probably pissed. He was like, come 00:30:36.180 --> 00:30:39.420 on, y 'all. Are y 'all going to stop? He couldn't 00:30:39.420 --> 00:30:42.759 serve alcohol anymore. It was after two. So he's 00:30:42.759 --> 00:30:45.000 like, I'm not making money anymore, goddammit. 00:30:45.539 --> 00:30:47.799 And I'm still having to pay my security guy. 00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:52.220 Yes. Yes, I'm sure, because that's what a peafunk 00:30:52.220 --> 00:30:55.140 does. If we don't have a curfew, you're going 00:30:55.140 --> 00:30:58.920 to have to pull a plug. And he's still that at 00:30:58.920 --> 00:31:03.289 85. If those Cascade shows, like, they literally, 00:31:03.369 --> 00:31:05.769 like, basically had to pull the plug. Yeah, they 00:31:05.769 --> 00:31:09.009 had that clock on the stage. And if you don't 00:31:09.009 --> 00:31:11.769 tell him, he's going to be fined if you don't 00:31:11.769 --> 00:31:14.710 get off on time. That is speaking George's language. 00:31:15.349 --> 00:31:17.170 Now, when you tell him he's going to be fined, 00:31:17.170 --> 00:31:19.710 then he's going to get everybody off stage. I'm 00:31:19.710 --> 00:31:21.970 a comedian, so I'm used to seeing that clock. 00:31:22.630 --> 00:31:25.470 Yes. But a lot of it depends on the audience, 00:31:25.529 --> 00:31:27.329 whether that's a good or a bad thing. Because 00:31:27.329 --> 00:31:30.269 if it's going well. You don't want that clock 00:31:30.269 --> 00:31:32.710 to end, but if it's, if they don't like you. 00:31:32.769 --> 00:31:38.349 The clock is not ticking yet. Yes. I got to ask, 00:31:38.410 --> 00:31:40.450 what are some of your favorite, do you have any 00:31:40.450 --> 00:31:43.009 like favorite shows or fests or anything like 00:31:43.009 --> 00:31:44.470 that that you remember playing over the years? 00:31:44.490 --> 00:31:46.069 Man, I have a lot of favorite ones. Anything 00:31:46.069 --> 00:31:49.549 that sticks out? Definitely that show in Tipitina. 00:31:49.650 --> 00:31:52.109 That was one for the history. It sounds like 00:31:52.109 --> 00:31:54.250 it. I don't think I've ever done a show that, 00:31:54.329 --> 00:31:58.160 literally to the point where. The band is, now 00:31:58.160 --> 00:32:01.279 the band is 30. At that time, the band was probably 00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:04.920 45 band members. And I don't know if Tipitina's 00:32:04.920 --> 00:32:06.460 is a house. Yeah, no, I've been there. Yeah, 00:32:06.480 --> 00:32:10.059 yeah. So we literally had to, the band members 00:32:10.059 --> 00:32:13.539 had to take turns, clear the stage. And we had 00:32:13.539 --> 00:32:16.279 four and five guitar players, four bass players, 00:32:16.420 --> 00:32:19.960 three drummers. So it was just like switch all 00:32:19.960 --> 00:32:22.359 night long. So that's definitely, definitely 00:32:22.359 --> 00:32:26.400 one for the books. I love a place that we play 00:32:26.400 --> 00:32:30.339 in Amsterdam. What is it called? I can't remember. 00:32:30.519 --> 00:32:33.880 But that's why it's Amsterdam. Right? That's 00:32:33.880 --> 00:32:35.839 one of my favorite places. I love Australia. 00:32:36.380 --> 00:32:39.880 I love playing there. Sativa's real diva. Oh, 00:32:39.900 --> 00:32:44.420 yeah. They love her over there. They love her. 00:32:44.700 --> 00:32:46.839 They love Paradiso. That's what it's called. 00:32:46.900 --> 00:32:48.799 The Paradiso in Amsterdam. Yeah, I've heard of 00:32:48.799 --> 00:32:52.099 that. Yes. That's an awesome venue. I love when 00:32:52.099 --> 00:32:55.859 we go to Australia. The notable festivals, we've 00:32:55.859 --> 00:32:59.559 played Glastonbury. We've played all of the big, 00:32:59.579 --> 00:33:04.059 big giants. We played Sonic in Japan, Central 00:33:04.059 --> 00:33:07.819 Park in New York. We've done a lot of big ones. 00:33:08.019 --> 00:33:12.160 The Juggalos. Yeah, that's right. And that's 00:33:12.160 --> 00:33:16.460 just P -Funk. We can play a jazz fest today. 00:33:16.700 --> 00:33:19.980 Tomorrow we're at a rock fest. The next week 00:33:19.980 --> 00:33:24.809 we're at a hip -hop fest. And George knows the 00:33:24.809 --> 00:33:26.410 audience, and he looks out there, and he's like, 00:33:26.589 --> 00:33:28.950 okay, I know exactly what I'm playing. We have 00:33:28.950 --> 00:33:31.829 some of the promoters. I need the set list. But 00:33:31.829 --> 00:33:34.869 then a P -Funk show, when it's not a fest, is 00:33:34.869 --> 00:33:36.849 one of the most diverse shows you'll ever go 00:33:36.849 --> 00:33:40.849 to. Anyway. Yeah. Anyway. It's just... It encompasses 00:33:40.849 --> 00:33:44.309 all of those things. Yes. Anyway. Exactly. He 00:33:44.309 --> 00:33:47.650 got rock songs. He got rap songs. He got blues 00:33:47.650 --> 00:33:51.980 songs. He got... He's the guy. And that's why 00:33:51.980 --> 00:33:55.420 P -Funk is going to be celebrated. And that's 00:33:55.420 --> 00:33:57.220 really why you're putting this festival on. That's 00:33:57.220 --> 00:33:59.000 exactly why I'm putting it on. That's exactly 00:33:59.000 --> 00:34:01.319 why I'm putting it on. That's the whole mission 00:34:01.319 --> 00:34:05.660 behind it is protecting the legacy that is Parliament 00:34:05.660 --> 00:34:09.059 Funkadelic, that is P -Funk, that is everything 00:34:09.059 --> 00:34:14.440 that Dr. Funkenstein, the maestro, all of these 00:34:14.440 --> 00:34:19.519 things that this band has touched and made better. 00:34:20.119 --> 00:34:23.380 There's so many things. And what is really cool, 00:34:23.659 --> 00:34:27.880 anybody that's a musician, they know Parliament 00:34:27.880 --> 00:34:33.159 Funkadelic. They know because they are. I don't 00:34:33.159 --> 00:34:36.619 like to toot my own horn or that horn, but it 00:34:36.619 --> 00:34:39.119 definitely needs to be. I mean, that's what you're 00:34:39.119 --> 00:34:43.860 here to do today. I think they deserve all the 00:34:43.860 --> 00:34:48.039 things. They deserve all the flowers. And like 00:34:48.039 --> 00:34:50.519 I said, George, he couldn't do it by himself. 00:34:50.699 --> 00:34:55.579 So that's why they are named one of the 100 best 00:34:55.579 --> 00:35:00.340 bands of all time. And George doesn't play an 00:35:00.340 --> 00:35:03.139 instrument. His voice is the instrument, of course, 00:35:03.139 --> 00:35:07.239 let's not. And he's like the... The maestro. 00:35:07.320 --> 00:35:11.820 Yeah. The master of ceremonies. Yeah, but Mike 00:35:11.820 --> 00:35:15.690 Hamptons and... Lodge and the Clip Paint. I mean, 00:35:15.690 --> 00:35:17.969 I think about someone like Frank Zappa, who did 00:35:17.969 --> 00:35:22.489 play instruments, but he did not, like, often 00:35:22.489 --> 00:35:25.489 he would just, he would conduct them, if nothing 00:35:25.489 --> 00:35:29.670 else. Yes, conductor. Yeah. And it's dope, like, 00:35:29.809 --> 00:35:32.250 we just did a show, George just did a show in 00:35:32.250 --> 00:35:35.829 Detroit with symphonic orchestra. Yeah, Danny 00:35:35.829 --> 00:35:38.150 was telling me about that. Like, insane, the 00:35:38.150 --> 00:35:42.309 things, like. I hope it was a recording made. 00:35:42.349 --> 00:35:44.110 Yeah, it was. I think it's probably going to 00:35:44.110 --> 00:35:46.829 be released somewhere. But it was the P -Funk 00:35:46.829 --> 00:35:50.710 Symphonic Orchestra. It was really cool. There 00:35:50.710 --> 00:35:55.369 is a video of the National Symphony Orchestra 00:35:55.369 --> 00:36:01.409 playing Nas' Illmatic with him. Ah, yes. That 00:36:01.409 --> 00:36:04.329 is one of my all -time favorite concert films. 00:36:04.489 --> 00:36:07.769 Like, just period. It's so good. Yeah. But it's 00:36:07.769 --> 00:36:10.559 also like... really funny to see some of these 00:36:10.559 --> 00:36:13.840 seven -year -old violinists standing right behind 00:36:13.840 --> 00:36:17.840 Nas just fucking spitting. And it's cool as hell. 00:36:17.900 --> 00:36:20.119 And Rakim was doing something. Now, Rakim is 00:36:20.119 --> 00:36:21.920 George's favorite rapper. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. 00:36:22.320 --> 00:36:24.860 Like, Paid in Full is one of my all -time favorite 00:36:24.860 --> 00:36:28.880 albums. George knows all the rock. He loves Rakim. 00:36:29.019 --> 00:36:32.780 And we actually did an event, a Paid in Full. 00:36:32.920 --> 00:36:35.739 It was called Paid in Full. It was in Las Vegas. 00:36:37.769 --> 00:36:41.690 They honored George and Nas and Rakim and a lot 00:36:41.690 --> 00:36:43.929 of other rappers and things like that. And it 00:36:43.929 --> 00:36:48.349 was really awesome. Dr. Dre came out and he said, 00:36:48.610 --> 00:36:50.969 he actually came out from the audience and he 00:36:50.969 --> 00:36:52.550 was like, you know, while George was doing the 00:36:52.550 --> 00:36:54.550 panel, he was like, I just want to let y 'all 00:36:54.550 --> 00:36:57.389 know, this man right here is the reason I am 00:36:57.389 --> 00:37:02.789 who I am. And there would be no Dr. Dre, which 00:37:02.789 --> 00:37:05.630 means no G -Funk, no Snoop Dogg, no this, that, 00:37:05.710 --> 00:37:07.900 and everything that came from that. if it wasn't 00:37:07.900 --> 00:37:11.400 for this guy right here. And that meant so much 00:37:11.400 --> 00:37:15.320 just to... We can see it in the music, but for 00:37:15.320 --> 00:37:17.260 him to... Wait, I'm not going to let this moment 00:37:17.260 --> 00:37:20.539 go by without saying what he has meant to me 00:37:20.539 --> 00:37:22.980 and what his music is. So I thought that was 00:37:22.980 --> 00:37:25.280 really, really awesome. One thing that always 00:37:25.280 --> 00:37:29.340 struck me about his music is it's always about 00:37:29.340 --> 00:37:31.400 being in the moment. Oh, yeah, for sure. And 00:37:31.400 --> 00:37:35.300 being present. Yes. How... One thing that... 00:37:35.610 --> 00:37:38.150 Danny talked about when I had him here were some 00:37:38.150 --> 00:37:41.690 of these like musical concepts that George had 00:37:41.690 --> 00:37:47.530 like the repeatability and it being like so precise 00:37:47.530 --> 00:37:51.230 and I think about the presence necessary for 00:37:51.230 --> 00:37:55.530 something like that how how when you're playing 00:37:55.530 --> 00:37:59.550 with so many people and in such kind of a chaotic 00:38:01.329 --> 00:38:04.269 It's psychedelic, chaotic. A beautiful chaos. 00:38:04.590 --> 00:38:08.550 Yeah. How do you stay present and focused on 00:38:08.550 --> 00:38:11.309 what your part is and what you need to be doing 00:38:11.309 --> 00:38:15.130 at any given time on stage? I mean, that's just 00:38:15.130 --> 00:38:20.429 it. Having the mindset, because everybody thinks 00:38:20.429 --> 00:38:22.849 when you go on the road, it's a party. You're 00:38:22.849 --> 00:38:27.050 on tour, you're in these cities, and just understanding 00:38:27.050 --> 00:38:30.099 that I'm there for a job. more so than anything. 00:38:30.639 --> 00:38:32.340 And I speak to people a lot and they're like, 00:38:32.460 --> 00:38:36.099 oh, oh, you're going to Los Angeles or New York 00:38:36.099 --> 00:38:38.920 City. Have you ever been here and here? Like, 00:38:38.980 --> 00:38:42.739 no, I've been to the venue. I've been to this 00:38:42.739 --> 00:38:47.179 hotel and that's it. And the freeway. Exactly. 00:38:47.599 --> 00:38:50.599 So not getting a chance to, understanding that 00:38:50.599 --> 00:38:53.360 that's a part of the job. Yeah. The fun part 00:38:53.360 --> 00:38:56.260 is for the audience and the artists. and the 00:38:56.260 --> 00:38:58.320 artists to a certain extent, but it's work for 00:38:58.320 --> 00:39:01.460 them too. Yeah. You know, that time on stage 00:39:01.460 --> 00:39:03.619 is the only time they really get to have fun. 00:39:04.039 --> 00:39:06.920 Everything else is work. I feel like that as 00:39:06.920 --> 00:39:10.360 a comedian, just emotionally sometimes too. It's 00:39:10.360 --> 00:39:13.380 just like that's the only place sometimes that 00:39:13.380 --> 00:39:17.920 I'm like happy. Happy. Yeah. So when something 00:39:17.920 --> 00:39:20.019 like that, and I've asked a lot of people this 00:39:20.019 --> 00:39:23.559 question, when you're on the road, when it is 00:39:23.559 --> 00:39:26.809 a job and it is, I don't want to say it becomes 00:39:26.809 --> 00:39:30.329 monotonous, but it does. Oh, yeah, it does. It's 00:39:30.329 --> 00:39:33.309 just the same as any other job. Yeah. What do 00:39:33.309 --> 00:39:36.849 you do to stay sane and keep your wits? And what 00:39:36.849 --> 00:39:38.349 are some of the things that you do on the road 00:39:38.349 --> 00:39:42.250 to feel human? Well, working on this festival. 00:39:42.949 --> 00:39:45.969 Yeah. That takes a lot of work. Are you a workaholic, 00:39:45.969 --> 00:39:48.710 do you think? And like I said, I'm also a realtor. 00:39:48.869 --> 00:39:55.329 Yeah. I'm also a lender. I do a lot of other 00:39:55.329 --> 00:40:00.050 things, but just trying to, my energy has been 00:40:00.050 --> 00:40:01.929 on trying to put this festival together for a 00:40:01.929 --> 00:40:05.070 long time. Or just maybe not even the festival 00:40:05.070 --> 00:40:07.190 specifically, but just something that's really 00:40:07.190 --> 00:40:11.590 cool and great that celebrates the band. Having 00:40:11.590 --> 00:40:14.570 those ideas about, I've been dreaming that up 00:40:14.570 --> 00:40:17.929 for a long time. But other than that, besides 00:40:17.929 --> 00:40:21.449 the music, to get into my own music, get out 00:40:21.449 --> 00:40:25.369 of... Funkadelic world sometimes. Do you ever 00:40:25.369 --> 00:40:28.630 try, not to repeat the question that you get 00:40:28.630 --> 00:40:30.730 all the time from your friends and family, do 00:40:30.730 --> 00:40:34.449 you ever try and find a museum or a park? Yes, 00:40:34.449 --> 00:40:38.730 I do. Yes, I do, and I have been trying to do 00:40:38.730 --> 00:40:41.010 that a lot more within these last few years. 00:40:41.130 --> 00:40:44.030 I've actually went to a lot of museums and a 00:40:44.030 --> 00:40:48.190 lot of... When I do have the time, I really am 00:40:48.190 --> 00:40:51.150 understanding as I'm getting older. I'm not... 00:40:51.759 --> 00:40:54.219 18 like I was before. And I've been to all of 00:40:54.219 --> 00:40:57.500 these places 50 times and never been anywhere. 00:40:57.699 --> 00:40:59.820 So it's, you know what? I'm not going to go take 00:40:59.820 --> 00:41:01.579 a nap right now. Let's just walk, let's walk 00:41:01.579 --> 00:41:03.860 around for a while before the show starts. So 00:41:03.860 --> 00:41:06.960 let's just, so I am actually trying to take in 00:41:06.960 --> 00:41:10.219 a lot more and experience a lot more when I am 00:41:10.219 --> 00:41:12.719 in town. Like when it's feasible, because sometimes 00:41:12.719 --> 00:41:14.840 it's not. Sometimes we straight to the show, 00:41:14.960 --> 00:41:17.039 straight. From the show, we out of town. But 00:41:17.039 --> 00:41:19.019 if we do get there a little earlier, have a day 00:41:19.019 --> 00:41:21.960 off, I do. I do try to experience things now. 00:41:22.239 --> 00:41:24.500 What are some of your favorite places to visit 00:41:24.500 --> 00:41:27.699 when you're on? When are you like, where are 00:41:27.699 --> 00:41:29.579 you like, yeah, I'm definitely booking a show 00:41:29.579 --> 00:41:33.539 in this city or this? You know what? When we 00:41:33.539 --> 00:41:36.139 just went overseas this last time, we went to 00:41:36.139 --> 00:41:41.440 Southeast Asia and we went to Singapore, Malaysia, 00:41:41.920 --> 00:41:48.440 Hawaii, Japan. So we actually, as a band, we 00:41:48.440 --> 00:41:52.320 went four -wheeler. We went dirt bike. We did 00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:54.940 some cool things on it. And we never usually 00:41:54.940 --> 00:41:57.440 do it. So I actually like, hey, y 'all. I went 00:41:57.440 --> 00:41:58.880 and made the plans. Team building exercises. 00:41:59.440 --> 00:42:02.840 And it was really, really dope. We went on the 00:42:02.840 --> 00:42:06.900 boat in Hawaii as a band. And we don't usually 00:42:06.900 --> 00:42:08.840 do things like that because we usually don't 00:42:08.840 --> 00:42:10.960 have time. We were actually in Malaysia for a 00:42:10.960 --> 00:42:13.579 few days. So yeah, I went and looked it up. Oh, 00:42:13.760 --> 00:42:17.130 my God, it's awesome. It's awesome. And yeah, 00:42:17.550 --> 00:42:19.710 we went and rode the ATVs, George, all of us. 00:42:20.090 --> 00:42:23.150 That's awesome. It was great. 85 years old. 85, 00:42:23.530 --> 00:42:27.409 leading the pack. It was beautiful. But yeah, 00:42:27.489 --> 00:42:30.409 doing things like that, and like I said, trying 00:42:30.409 --> 00:42:33.530 to make time for it when we can. What is he looking 00:42:33.530 --> 00:42:37.130 forward to about this festival? Everything. I 00:42:37.130 --> 00:42:38.949 spoke to him last night, and I was just like, 00:42:39.130 --> 00:42:42.050 so you know, Granddad, when you get there, Because 00:42:42.050 --> 00:42:44.409 your headline, you'll be like, oh, no, I'll be 00:42:44.409 --> 00:42:46.750 there all day. I'm going to be there. I'm going 00:42:46.750 --> 00:42:49.409 to be on everybody's set. That's what he said. 00:42:49.610 --> 00:42:52.489 So look forward to that. Oh, hell yeah. So don't 00:42:52.489 --> 00:42:54.269 miss some, because George already said, I'm going 00:42:54.269 --> 00:42:56.989 to be there all day. He's going to be dancing 00:42:56.989 --> 00:42:59.730 around with God B. Like, he's that kind of guy. 00:42:59.969 --> 00:43:02.750 Hell yeah. Like, seriously. Yeah, he's very excited, 00:43:02.809 --> 00:43:05.570 though. He's really, really excited. And that 00:43:05.570 --> 00:43:07.610 makes me excited. All of the band members are 00:43:07.610 --> 00:43:11.969 happy, and they are like. It's something that 00:43:11.969 --> 00:43:15.510 we call our own. And I like the Juggalos. We 00:43:15.510 --> 00:43:17.489 played a lot. But I think this is, you know, 00:43:17.550 --> 00:43:21.829 they... Yeah, they're like the most perplexing 00:43:21.829 --> 00:43:25.389 group. But they seem like they're nothing but 00:43:25.389 --> 00:43:29.130 fun to be around. Exactly. And that's another... 00:43:29.130 --> 00:43:32.309 When they go into their festival and play at 00:43:32.309 --> 00:43:34.690 their festival, we need to do some shit like 00:43:34.690 --> 00:43:37.730 this. Like, P -Funk is this. Like, why don't 00:43:37.730 --> 00:43:40.289 we have... I'll bring the Faygo. That is what 00:43:40.289 --> 00:43:42.670 they... Yeah. Okay. I just want to make sure. 00:43:43.010 --> 00:43:46.289 But yes, that made me think, damn, we could do 00:43:46.289 --> 00:43:49.809 this. We should do this. And they big as hell 00:43:49.809 --> 00:43:52.349 now. I remember we did a year, we did it a few 00:43:52.349 --> 00:43:54.949 times, maybe not within the last 10 years, but 00:43:54.949 --> 00:43:57.010 we did it a long, like when it first, first started. 00:43:57.550 --> 00:44:00.929 And to see them grow and it's awesome. But P 00:44:00.929 --> 00:44:03.190 -Funk has those same kind of fans. Like that 00:44:03.190 --> 00:44:06.449 same type of cult following. You encouraging 00:44:06.449 --> 00:44:09.449 people to. Dress up and crazy and everything 00:44:09.449 --> 00:44:10.989 for the fest. Oh, yes, please get your Delic 00:44:10.989 --> 00:44:16.170 on. We love to see all the best dress. Bring 00:44:16.170 --> 00:44:22.190 it on. All of it. All the things. Yes. I am up. 00:44:22.460 --> 00:44:24.400 I'm going to get some, like, purple shiny pants. 00:44:24.460 --> 00:44:27.400 Please do. Yes. And I'm going to drag you.
