“Back then we were taking every piece of acid we could get our hands on.”  - George Clinton about the creation of "Maggot Brain" (May 2011)

George Clinton talks about what he was doing at the time of the interview in May 2011, the recent legal battles to get paid over sampling, and the main focus of the interview is looking back at Funkadelic’s “Maggot Brain” record 40 years later. 

I did this interview with George when I was at WDET for a feature looking at the 40th anniversary of the album. I never did the feature because I couldn’t get the other living members of the band to talk to me at the time. So, I put this in my archive and never shared it until now (July 2021) in honor of George's 80th birthday.
