A friend of mine has this brilliant, irrefutable theory: the funk makes you crazy. Think about it, he'll say. Prince? Funky. Crazy. Michael Jackson? Also funky. Also crazy. Jamariquoi? A little crazy, maybe. But only a little funky. Bootsy? George Clinton? JAMES BROWN?? All of them funky as all funking funk, and completely batshit, too.
Here is a rare, beautiful example of three of these funk greats on stage at the same time, made possible by some kind of freak-chance cosmic star collision (somebody in the audience was probably accidentally teleported through time to the middle ages as a result of this perversion of the natural law). It's an early glimpse of their genius, when the funk had already started to nibble away at their sanity.
Thanks to Megan at The Realest for the heads up.
