Last week, Father of the Funk, the great George Clinton was spotted at a Florida State Seminoles basketball game. GC was getting funky and getting in rhythm with the rest of the Seminole faithful, doing the Tomahawk Chop.
From the reports, George Clinton is friends with FSU basketball coach Leonard Hamilton. After the game, George Clinton took to his twitter to retweet many fans who tweeted their excitement at having the music legend at the game. There aren't many celebrities in Tallahassee, but Clinton has called it home for over ten years. Great to see him interacting with one of the local universities.
This is the first I have heard of George Clinton being at a Tallahassee sporting event. I wonder if he goes to FAMU games at all. Either way, I hope he goes to more. It would be great to have the funk helping out the Seminoles.
On the subject of George Clinton and his musical legacy, here is an interesting article about Afrofuturism - the use of sci-fi in black culture from Sun Ra to Parliament-Funkadelic to modern artists. Interesting read.
Gotta have that funk.
