IMO, this tune was Last Great George/Bernie/Bootsy collaboration:The last time the three collaborated doing what they all do best....making it a Joyful Process

It always seemed to me, at least as far as Parliament goes, that alot of their best stuff was done when George, Bernie and Bootsy were all there to work together on arrangements....

Should I comment, pali? I mean, u always saying to me how much of my stuff has a Parliament type of vibe with Hazel of course thrown in. Musically, as far as Parliament goes..it was Bernie and Bootsy. As far as the writing. Those two should have gotten credit for production because they would cut the basic tracks to many of the songs when George was no where around. THEN he would come in and fuck with a vocal melody, write some lyrics, come up with a crazy ass title, u know. But the music to the tracks would have already been laid. Many times it was Bootsy on the drums too. Once u had Bootsy put down the bass line and Bernie put down his keys, u basically had the "sound". I know Gary and Glenn would do their fills on the phased out melodic guitars. And some of the tracks were written from guitar. Like Dr.Funkenstein. And Cordell was up in it. BUT the most STOOPIDIEST tracks came from Bootsy and Bernie. Overall.

Agreed. This was the last great collab.
What I wanna know is, are there any plans for them to collab in the future?
And if not, what is stopping them? Aint nobody getting any younger.
And as far as I'm concearned, Bootsy is at the top of his game right now. Not sure about Bernie because I haven't heard anything recently but I'm sure he aint slacking either.
George on the other hand, hmmm, I'm sure he could get it together if the others were around.
What ever happened to the so called Mammoth sessions? I believe Bernie and Bootsy were involved with those sessions.

Those 3 will not come together to record new songs. Unfortunately, Bootsy and Bernie plus many other were screwed financially by George.(or his management). You might see them jam at a live gig but that's it. But Bernie and Worrell would probably record together.

That's really sad. But never say never.
There is a ton of unreleased stuff so maybe we will get to hear some of that someday.
