      Gary Clark jr., Corey and the Funk Apostles, Shabazz Palaces, Anderson Paak. There is good music available now it just doesn't come thru mainstream avenues anymore. Because it makes you think and the powers that be don't want you to think. I'm a guitarist and I play all the time but it's hard to get your foot in the door nowadays unless you are some shitty rapper or look like a male or female super
      model. The mainstream industry is so plastic and toxic now it would make the average person vomit if they knew the truth.

I'm 56 years old, and will guarantee black people were ALWAYS into both Funkadelic and Parlament from the beginning to the end. White collage venue's were safer environments to listen to Funkadelic than venues in larger black communities because being from Los Angeles, Parliament/Funkadelic were the favorite band of the street gang's like the Crip's, so many black people could not go see them live because of safety concerns, it had NOTHING to do with white people being into this music more than black people. This IS black people's music, so you can keep your fake divide, and conquer narrative to yourself, it does not fly with people who are old enough to know the truth, and who lived it.

    Just a GREAT era of music!! I was an all-nite DJ back then, able to play this stuff on the radio, alongside classic rock, prog, reggae, etc and the listeners LOVED it all. Today, the music is SO sub-categorized and radio channels so specialized that most people never get exposed to 99 percent of other genres outside the main one they know. That is why the public is SO musically illiterate now. Sad.

    In 1969, I'm an 18 yr old kid. One evening, in Myers Music Royal Oak Michigan. The sales guy was so nice as to let me plug a new '69 Gibson Les Paul Custom into a 50 wt Marshall Plexi into a 6X10 cab. I'm in a Rock n Roll fantasy with the LP tuned down to D Maj cord. With a lipstick tube I stole from Mom on my pinky. I'm doing my Elmore James and a pour Johnny Winter impersonation when I notice a couple Black dudes looking over my shoulder. They asked me about my tuning and we discussed the possible open tunings. I was flattered that older
    Black guys were interested in the way I played music that their Grand Dads' had invented 40 or more years before. Then they called over the Man. George Clinton, and said play that again. Good thing I didn't really know who these guys were or I would have been frozen. We all had a go at the Les Paul. It was so good to feel this really cool Black band would even talk to a white kid like me. So I said thanks all around and said it was time for me to slide. One of the guys said, 'you might want to hang out a little while because Stevie Wonder was on his way over. What an honor to shake his hand when I was introduced. Wish we had the iPhone cameras back then. But this is a true story. There was some great stuff going on in the D back then. Wish it had never ended.
