2016, the year of death and stupidity. Half of you wont know Bernie Worrell, half of you wont care. Yeah, well, half of you voted Brexit too.

Bernie was God to George Clinton's God. Bernie did "Flashlight", probably the best nine minute funk tune ever made. Bernie held Funkadelic/Parliament together when having 32 people in a band proved a bit fractious. Bernie made his own great solo stuff. There's a whole catalogue out there to discover. Bernie played with Talking Heads on the Stop Making Sense tour. Bernie played with Keith Richards.

Bernie is dead, the day after this stupid referendum that has killed the UK.

Everything hurts. I can only find this shortened 6 minute version. Go buy the 12" vinyl.

RIP Bernie. This is all getting too much.

 
I am certainly rather partial to a bit of P-Funk, but am by no means an expert so thank you for the Bernie FACT!s. Sorry to hear we lost him. Sadly they can't all be as indestructible as George Clinton appears to be.

Funkadelic - Promentalshitbackwashpsychosis Enema Squad (The Doo-Doo Chasers)

From the first Funkadelic album I bought. Not got Flashlight levels of the funk but got some cracking lyrics.
