desertcart.com: Brothas Be, Yo Like George, Ain't That Funkin' Kinda Hard On You?: A Memoir: 9781476751085: Clinton, George, Greenman, Ben: Books

Review: Supergroovilisticprofunkstication - This book is a must read for any true P-Funkateer, or for that matter, anyone who loves soul/ funk/ R&B. George give a first hand look at the evolution of the revolutionary music recorded by Clinton,Worrell, Collins and the many other contributing members of the funk mob. George shares in detail about the many artists and others in the industry that helped to hone and shape the perfection of P-Funk over time. I loved hearing the stories behind the music. The music brought together the best from all genras of music and helped to shape and influence generations of music lovers from Doo Wop and to the Hip-Hop of today. George's intellect and genius has always been cloaked in "silly- seriousness". In his autobiography, Dr. Funkenstein is exceptionally articulate, insightful and humorous in he way he shares about his life long dedication to the Funk. The book paints a clear picture of a dedicated artist navigating the challenges posed by the largely corrupt and dishonest corporate power structure in the record industry, while being unwilling to compromise core values and creative expression. Thanks George for taking taking us for a front seat ride on the Mothership. Loved reading about the stories Behind the Funk.
Review: If You Hear Any Noise, It's Just Me And The Boys - During the 1970's, I, along with a number of my peers, were insane Parliament/Funkadelic Fans. At that time ,the only individual name out of the P-Funk brand that was known was Boosty Collins. No one in the general public knew who was “in charge” with the group, or anything. But, as time evolved into the 1980's and beyond, particularly with the release of “Atomic Dog” the World came to see that George Clinton had been one of the major players behind the scenes, so much so that he has become an icon. I have been a Parliament fan since the release of “Mothership Connection” back in the '70's. That music brings me more joy than just about any in my life. So, when I learned that George Clinton had a book, I knew I had to read it. This book blows me away! It seems every time George Clinton opens his mouth to say ANYTHING, he either says something classic or profound. Every single time. George Clinton is not just a musical genius. He is a man profoundly wise about life. The gift to us as his fans is that all of his great qualities and characteristics come out in his music. This book is one of the greatest books that I've ever read---and I've read a lot. George Clinton has been in the music business since the 1950's, so by purchasing this book, a person is getting 60 years' experience of musical genius. It's well-worth the price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Funkin' About Time That George Clinton Wrote His Memoir!
*by H***C on November 13, 2014*

For a long time I've wanted George Clinton to write his memoir. Every time I read or heard an interview with Clinton I would wonder why a publisher hadn't approached him to write his story. Thank you Atria Books for making it finally happen. This book took me a little longer to read than usual because every time Clinton shared a story about writing on of the songs for the Parliament or the Funkadelic I would want to stop reading, listen to it and see if I could notice the different aspects of the song that Clinton was pointing out. I was introduced to George Clinton Parliament-Funkadelic through my father's record collection. I never really understood what the differences between the two bands and Clinton does a good job of describing the two bands. *The Parliaments was the band that he could use to perform doo-wop. Parliament and the Funkadelic played funk music. I've always heard that James Brown was the hardest working man in show business but from reading Clinton's account it sounds like he could give Brown a run for this title. He would be working on a Parliament album, a Funkadelic album and Bootsy Collins album or some other artist for his record label all while writing music for upcoming albums. It was interesting to read about Clinton's relationship with fellow artist Sly Stone and how they supported each other's drug habit while also influencing each other musically. Clinton also as an interesting take on rap music and being easily the most sampled artist by rap artists. The great thing about this memoir was is that Clinton focuses primarily on his life in music. There is very little time spent discussing his family life short of how his relationships are with his children and grandchildren. If the children are involved with music, as a couple are, he discusses how they work together but other wise his private life is left alone. Clinton shares information on copyright issues he has had on much of his music. At one point he says that he got off the addiction to crack and became addicted to figuring out his copyright problems and getting his music back. He says that he is getting close to filing a claim and going to court. I was kind of amazed that when he is looking to go to court that his lawyers would allow him to write so freely about potential information that could be used in his favor. He also includes the whole deposition that he and his lawyers did with a woman involved in one of the lawsuits. This book is an enjoyable read of Clinton's life from the barbershop to a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Member. Clinton does not seem to pull many punches when it comes to his professional career. He discusses his drug use, song writing, musical influences and how he feels about the artists that he as influenced himself. It was a long time waiting for this memoir but well worth it. *Changed from this, "Parliament was the band that he could use to perform doo-wop and the Funkadelic was the band for his funk music."
