omg. love that one!

so lets get stoned with big mama and jimi.

and i feel pretty stupid now. cause in my youth based on the word "joe" it was a stoner song for me not listening to the text. now listening to the text i realize it's not even close about that.

reminds me of the story frank zappa told about "bobby brown". that it was at first a big hit in scandinavia cause the people didn't understand the text but liked the melody.

That's funny. Hey Joe is clearly not a stoner song. I've definitely done that with songs though.
I have this like-hate thing with Zappa. I like some of his music, but man.. the guy was such a dick, and not even in a charming way haha. Ironically, one of my favorite songs of his was the live version of Suicide Chump.. go figure.

I really love these songs..

mhm. don't know enough about zappa to know if he was a dick. but he was for sure a control freak.
but i liked a lot of his statements in a documentary i watched about him.
and i also admire his vision in working with new techniques like sampling and how he uses it.

music wise i mostly listened to the "sheik yerbouti" album. and there are some real funny/brilliant tracks on it.
but to lots of his music i also never could connect.

To be fair, I'm going off of how I felt about him in my early 20's, so I very well could feel a little different about him now if I rewatched some of it. My friend was a huge fan, so I saw a lot of interviews and even read some of his book and I just remember thinking he was incredibly cocksure, pretentious and just came across as very close-minded. That being said, I'm really good at separating art from the artist so I'm not going to dismiss someone's work just because I want to punch them in the face haha.

A thread about funk would be incomplete without some James Brown tunes.
