Johnny Guitar Watson! Yes! I like George Clinton too, but JGW is something else. Just that bit of lyrics you mentioned has that funky guitar going through my head.

I think there was an RIP for JGW here on Free Republic awhile back. He died in 1996.

I was introduced to JGW in the late 70's by the local Lafayette Radio/Electronics store. They had these huge floor-standing speakers with 15" woofers, and used JGW's song "A real mother for ya" for a demo. That song would make the whole building shake. So, I bought the album. On the front cover was JGW dressed as a pimp, pushing his mother along in a baby carriage. Weird stuff, thinking back...no wonder I've never watched "That 70's Show", and have no desire to do so.

JGW could rock, though....he could play some guitar.
