I am happy for him.

He escaped Joe Biden’s Amerika.

I'm getting up there. Don't want to go anywhere. I'm popping popcorn.

Give her some funked up music, she treats you nice
Feed her some hungry reggae, she’ll love you twice
The girls don’t seem to care tonight
As long as the mood is right

For those that don't know. Here is a link of them Playing in Houston TX, 1976.

They were incredible!

Check out starting about 55 minutes in. Starts with the classic P-Funk then a long medley. Incredible stuff.

Yes, it was. I was focusing on the first line re โ€œfunked up musicโ€.

Oops meant to ping someone else too.

It’s a sobering dress rehearsal for Revelation 13 indeed - AND GLOBAL ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿฅบ ๐ŸŒ๐ŸŒ๐ŸŒŽ

What’s happening in Sweden is an eerie precursor. Conditioning the sheep ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘.

Revelation 13:16-18
King James Version

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

I used to work with a guy who said he played with Parlaiment-Funkadelic for a short time.

When he was younger, he did have a real music career, session work etc. so I have no reason to not believe him.

I saw PF perform in the early 80s in Chicago.

Great show. Pretty sure I was the only white guy in the place.

There’s a point where we’re gonna have to let go of all of these old band guys & gals.

Well, up to but not including Keith Richards.
