George Clinton story... This is from a mate of mine who posted it on the popbitch website. Forgot all about it until he posted it so i thought i'd copy it here for you. (does that make sense?)
"Couple of years ago in a studio i was associated with George Clinton was due in for a couple of days to do a vocal. Everyone was real excited to be meeting the legend. It became apparent, however, that the session wouldn't be as easy as hoped when upon arriving he barked "I need my coke!". For the next 2 days he would sleep, wake up, quietly gibber insane nonsense, call his wife/manager getting her to wire some money, go to the bank, go score some cocaine, freebase grams at a time, gibber insane nonsense loud enough to record a vocal, fall asleep. It was quite impressive to watch a 60 yr old man get through over 2 grands worth of dodgy street drugs in 2 days even if the dats were useless. Hawkus 17:12 9/10, Reply I once had the privelige of having TAFKAP and Larry Graham complain to me for some time about similar antics from Ol' Maggot Brain at Paisley Park. They were attemting to lure him towards the Jehovah's at the time. Quite what they wanted me to do about it i don't know. Madcyril 17:17 9/10, Reply | |

Cool. George is totally Rock 'n' Roll.
Capt. Dorkface can keep his JW crap, that's what real popstars do.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

thread reminds me of Steve Martin's warning to John Candy in Planes, Train & Automoblies
"When you tell these stories make sure they have...A POINT!!" 
So GC has snorted away his fortunes and wastes studio time. BFD! You just discover the world is not flat?

Oh I forgot. this is PRINCE.org... Very good. Well done. Are you 14? I just thought some people might find it interesting (like the guy who posted above you.) After all this is a web forum... surely gossip is pretty much the point? [This message was edited Thu Oct 9 12:03:58 PDT 2003 by funkyfine] | |

Hawkus 17:12 9/10, A certain studio in Atlanta played host to George for the final track on his Smeell My Finger record in 1993 (or 1994 I forget) and what came from this session was a picture of George singing, one hand on his K240 and a white ring around his nose. I LARGE WHITE RING. The tape sounds EXACTLY the way your friend describes, muttered gibberish... I thinki I'll go listen to that session now and get a kidk or two. Ahhh... Nostalgia. 
Now, guess the song I speak of... Starts with an H, ends with a D...

That's nothin. Ever seen ol' George doing the stuff onstage?  This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |
