Somewhere I read that he went to a P-Funk concert and got inspired and that night, started recording Erotic City. So I guess U could say it was directly inspired. Makes U wonder how P's brain works, cuz that cut doesn't sound too P-Funkish. Somebody help me on this cuz I might be mistaken. The 1997 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Inductions ceremony took place in Cleveland on May 6th. The Artist was there to induct George Clinton's Parliament and Funkadelic bands. The Artist came on stage with Mayte and pronounced a short speech including the following lines, "There was something futuristic about Parliament-Funkadelic. Yet it was earthy and funky and timely. I remember seeing him at the Beverly Theater and it was frightening. That night I went to the studio and recorded 'Erotic City.' Needless to say, he's been an influence on me and everyone I know. That's all we talk about, that's all we groove to. With great pleasure, George, I say I love you and I need you, and I'm happy to induct you into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame." http://www.uptown.se/2005...1997.shtml Was this the actual speech????? I always wondered what was said..... | |

Anyone know where you can find a video clip of this speech, or for that matter any of the other induction speeches of the past (who inducted sly and the family stone for example?) Yeah....That would be cool..... George Clinton inducted Sly & The Family Stone..... | |

"We've never been able to pull off a funk number"
