All Hail George Clinton, Funk.H.D.



Funk master George Clinton, leader of the legendary Parliament-Funkadelic, gets an honorary degree today from the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, the school says,  "in recognition for the funk icon's enduring musical and cultural contributions."

At 70, Clinton is still touring. You can check out his latest happenings on his blog here.

Here's a great 1978 P-Funk show for your enjoyment:
