Looking forward to reading through this, I've been more than a little busy over the last month or so and I thought I was going to manage to get a ballot in for this (even got as far as drawing up a whole list), but for some reason struggled to get them in some kind of order (there was a lot of stuff to consider!) and ended up missing the deadline. Having a quick glance over the results though, I've no complaints! Maybe it would have been easier to have separate Parliament and Funkadelic polls, but I guess that would have missed the point!

And yes, Kerr, that Mutiny track would have made my ballot :D

Just finished George's memoir. It was really good. He was much more sensitive & thoughtful than I expected him to be, while still delivering the goods when it comes to anecdotes featuring outrageous behavior.

yeah I was surprised at how perceptive he was; good memory too

I'd like to buy some P-Funk on vinyl but after reading that I'll be damned if I put any $ Armen Bouladian's way.

oh there's plenty of used copies out there
