New mug shot ('godfather of funk' George Clinton)

Posted on 12/09/2003 11:16:59 AM PST by evets

George Clinton, the godfather of American funk music, was arrested in Tallahassee early Saturday and charged with cocaine possession outside an Apalachee Parkway Circle K.

According to arrest reports, Clinton was sitting in a Gold Nissan Sentra smoking what appeared to be a cigar. A police officer found a bag containing a substance that field-tested positive for cocaine and a glass pipe, which the officer said is commonly used to smoke crack.

Clinton could not be immediately reached at his office/recording studio in Tallahassee. Clinton is the founder and musical leader of legendary funk group Parliament, which became the equally legendary Funkadelic in the 1970s. His many hits include "One Nation Under a Groove," "Flashlight" and "Atomic Dog." Parliament-Funkadelic was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. The group now tours as George Clinton and the P-Funk All Stars.

Sorry, but he still isn't as ugly as Winnona Judd was in her "photo op!" I was shocked to see what she really looks like, and I like her a lot!

Wonder if George Clinton is any relation to Bill Clinton? I can see some resemblance.
