    Bootsy is such a real deal, good man. His legendary status hasn’t gone to his head at all. Him and Catfish created a whole new sound and style, but he still acts like a regular guy. Humble, talented, genuine dude.

    I fell in love with bass when I first heard him play with Parliament in the mid-seventies in school. "Put a glide in your stride and a dip in your hip. And come on up to the mothership."

    The space bass baby baba ! LOL I use to go Cincinnati a lot and I would often see Bootsy out and about and he's as cool and approachable as any star ! He'll sign autographs, take pictures and give you all the P/Funk history you could ever want !
    Bootsy is the real deal and he isn't stuck on himself considering how great of a bass player and musician he is he very well could be but he isn't !
    Keep funkin Bootsy !
