The Last Word: George Clinton on Alien Encounters, Trump’s Lack of Funk<\/h1>\n

The Parliament-Funkadelic legend also discusses the perils of LSD, the death of doo-wop and how to find great musicians<\/p>\n

By Brian Hiatt<\/a><\/p>\n

Parliament-Funkadelic leader George Clinton talks to Rolling Stone about the essence of funk, his alien encounter, the dangers of LSD and more.<\/span> Mark Summers for Rolling Stone<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Parliament-Funkadelic founder George Clinton<\/a> is an irreplaceable walking museum of American musical history, with a career that began in Fifties doo-wop (the Parliaments were originally a Newark, N.J., singing group), and continues all the way to Kendrick-era hip-hop and beyond. Clinton put out an excellent, memorably titled memoir, Brothas Be, Yo Like George, Ain’t That Funkin’ Kinda Hard on You?<\/i>, in 2014, and he suggests he’s already done enough additional living for another book \u2013 though he’s more focused on an upcoming documentary and a new album. He called in for a characteristically amusing and enlightening Last Word interview while on the road for his latest tour, which is set to run through April.<\/p>\n

Who are the funkiest people who ever lived?
\n<\/b>When I’m just tryna funk, it’s gonna be the Staple Singers, man \u2013 Pop Staples. And Ray Charles. Ray could take “Eleanor Rigby” and make that <\/i>funky. He ends up doing that to anything \u2013 to me, that’s raw funk. And then [Motown session bassist] James Jamerson \u2013 that is a musician.<\/i><\/p>\n

And who is the least funky person alive?
\n<\/b>Oh, my God! [Laughs<\/i>] Probably Trump. Can’t be no funk in the Trump! [Pauses<\/i>] He ain’t gonna like that.<\/p>\n
