jess555ja said: FuNkeNsteiN said: Some small out-of-focus pic of Glenn Goins I have no idea who that is He was in Parliament for a couple of years as a vocalist/guitarist. He quit the band when they got into some, uhm, financial disagreements. He then formed Quazar with his brother Kevin and Jerome Brailey. They started working on an album but unfortunately Glenn passed away on July 29, 1978, before the completion of the album. He died from Hodgkin's Lymphoma. He was only 23 years old 
He had one of the most incredible voices you've ever heard. A sort of gospel feel to it. The best vocalist P-Funk ever had. Now, I'm not a religious person (I'm an atheist, in fact) but dayum, when this brotha calls down the Mothaship, it's the closest thing to a religious experience as I've ever felt. Check him out!

[Edited 6/25/07 11:57am] So does he ride on a little yellow bus? He sounds mentally challenged. He practically is!, although we're not sure if he's mentally retarded or just mentally ill. He speaks with the eloquence and vocabulary of a college professor (and claims to have a degree in Philosophy to boot), but since he's also an internet addict, we speculate that he just copies what he reads off the net a lot of the time.
What we DO know is that he's nearly 40 years old and still lives with his mother and grandfather, and suffers from panic attacks. First time we ever encountered him was outside in our front yard, running the hell out from the streets during an attack. [Edited 6/25/07 14:36pm] [Edited 6/26/07 8:26am] | |

HE actually cares for his family, believe it or not. His grandfather, in particular, has reached his dying days and has to be nurtured, and our neigbor does the job. [Edited 6/25/07 14:51pm] | |

Do you take notes when speaking to him? Not really; most of these quotes are somewhat paraphrased, actually, but they're so "WTF?!  "-inducing that they've become etched in my mind enough to remember the basic details around them. | |
