Bring on the funk! cool

Would be very cool if Blackwell's longterm connection with Prince could initiate some kind of Prince/ Bootsy collab, be it on stage or record. Man, imagine the funk those three could create if all on the same stage at the same time.

Cool! I'm going to the Riot Fest festival in Chicago this September and Bootsy is playing. Should be a funky good time.
