Wildlife: These birds looked about the size of Redwing Blackbirds, but they weren't. They had dark breasts with almost-white speckles, and light brown heads. Their bills were long -- more like woodpeckers. We looked through the bird-books and decided they had to be female Common Flickers.

Media Watch: Listen to samples from George Clinton's new CD
Fan Review: Posted by jsconi on 9/7/2005, 9:50 am at ONE NATION Board Room
I'm feelin' the CD. After a couple of listens - it's what we've come to expect from our crew. Weird, wacky - and funky. Coming from all angles. Not sure what to expect from the next track. And I love it! I Can Dance has already been worn out by my CD player with my bass turned ALL the way up. I sure hope they make a video to that - I can see a lot of CONCEPT in my head...I'm sure GC sees even more. It's different from anything out...and in the video age GCs imagination will pay dividents. Plus - the Nappy Dugout sample - the original Go Go song - AWWW YEAAH! THE GIRL'S GOT A FUTURE BEHIND HER! Viagra - LOVIN IT! My faves Belita and Kendra gettin' loose on a few tracks. Inhale Slowly. Booty on a CD. And my girl Shon...er, Sativa the Diva liftin' from her CD. Ain't no fakin' that funk! I could go on and on. No Clinton/Collins/Worrell - but I'm lovin the CD.
I GRADUATED HIGH FROM SCHOOLAs for the rappers - I ain't mad at GC for havin' em - and I like the flavor. I especially like the one with Del the Funky Homosapien (where's he been?) Again - it's a new day. Rap is funk DNA. George was the first rapper ANYWAY in my opinion (Loose Booty, and especially Let's Take it To the Stage, with the key hip hop musical elements of rhyming on beat, bragging/boasting, and DISSING). Not to mention Nubian Nut in my opinion is one of the most underratted raps on the planet. At the time (1983) that style was OFF THE HOOK.
Ridin' in a space ship up and down the street
Tootin' at the funky women on the block he meet
And when have you seen a compilation album with the same group as a base?
Once again, GC ahead of the game. GC - MAKE A VIDEO FOR I CAN DANCE!
The Funk has returned to claim the pyramids!
