Maggot Brain

A strange tune with a strange title.

Found this on a YouTube comment:

"Eddie Hazel came in the studio one day, a little down in the dumps I guess. And George just put Eddie in the middle of the floor and surrounded him with marshall amps and he just let him cry his heart out. He told Eddie to play like his mother had died, and thats whatch u got outta that, that's Maggot Brain" - Gary Shider
"Eddie is an emotional guy, as good as a singer he is. he didn't sing on any of the album cause he would get half way through the song and just start crying" - George Clinton

That Time I Seen Junior Brown - Surf Medley

My story of the first and only time I seen Junior Brown live. It was around 1996, I was at some kind of festival in Louisiana and all the bands that day were playing Country Music, which I'm not a fan of, but hey, a few beers, I like live music. About midway through the evening I started hearing rumors of Junior Brown showing up and how his tour-bus driver got the bus stuck in the mud and through all the commotion, the bus driver got a DUI (Driving Under the Influence) because he was drunk! I'm like, hey, my kind of people, they're partiers. Into the night most of the crowd started leaving and asked some passing girl what was up, I thought there was one more group to hit the stage, the headliner. She said, "It's Junior Brown, he thinks he's a Country musician!" I'm like, cool, if he's not cutting the mustard as Country player, maybe he's not? I'll check him out. So, because so many people had left, I made it to the front of the stage.

On a Saturday morning, pulled an all nighter and doing some coffee listening to this song. Kinda cool. Years ago I would have never listened to this because I would have associated it with Country music. But, in light of today's "Country" music, this track Rocks!
