Many thought he wrote (not just) Knee Deep, but George Sr. did that as a birthday present. | |

From the Tallahassee Democrat newspaper:
The Leon County Sheriff’s Office was called to the Plantations at Pine Lake apartments on Halstead Boulevard at 12:30 p.m. Monday where they discovered the body of a man identified as George Clinton Jr., 50.
He is the son of musician George Clinton, who leads Parliament-Funkadelic and is included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The elder Clinton has a recording studio in Tallahassee. The LCSO was called by a maintenance person at the complex who had gone inside one of the apartments to check on the welfare of a resident after he had not seen him in a couple of days, said Sgt. Tony Drzewiecki. The body was taken to the morgue where it will be examined by the Medical Examiner’s Office.Barring any finding by the Medical Examiner’s Office, our investigation is complete.” Drzewiecki said friends of the family responded and “they did notify George Clinton Jr.’s father of the death.” | |

I hope George is still able to move on after all of this, a parent shouldn't bury a child. [Edited 2/3/10 14:01pm] | |

The son was 50?!
Was George a teenage parent? Not trying to be shady or disrespect the deceased but that sounds too old for one of George's kids. | |

George was born on July 22, 1941.
So he was around 18 (1959). | |

I heard that. Apparently she was the one that brought George and Bootsy together. George has got to be going through a lot right now, I'm gonna be sure and do my part to lift him up. I'm not ready to lose another hero. | |
