Summary
Welcome aboard the Mothership. In this episode of Tape Spaghetti, Scott & Blake are joined by special guest Richard Oliver (Wampler Pedals, Chasing Tone, Amplify Creative) who shares his personal history and expertise in a deep, joyful, and occasionally unhinged journey through the universe of Parliament-Funkadelic. P-Funk’s unexpected evolution from 1960s doo-wop into a genre-shattering collage of funk, rock, psychedelia, and Afrofuturism included a rotating cast of unreal musicians (see: Bootsy Collins, Bernie Worrell, and Eddie Hazel) and some of the most influential grooves ever recorded – all under the acid-drenched supervision of George Clinton. But, what’s the difference between Parliament and Funkadelic? Is Maggot Brain the most cathartic guitar solo of all time? And… what have lightsabers and diapers got to do with it? Whether you’re simply funk-curious or knee-deep in the P-Funk universe, don’t miss this one.
