One Nation Under a Groove

[mnaz]

"One nation
under a groove,
gettin' down just
for the funk of it."

I miss those days.
I called record stores.
Do you have that song?
No, they said.

Well, it was a nice dream for awhile, at least.

[mnaz]

I'm going to blast this jam at least once a week from my car and out my front door until we stop squabbling like 2-year-olds over fucking manufactured tribal politics.

[mnaz]

I think that's reasonable.

[winddance]

thanks for turning me on to this one. usually just groove with my favorites, atomic dog(woof) and flashlight. this one is mellower. liked it

[mnaz]

It is peak P-funk. It's unique in the Funkadelic catalog for sure (it would fit into a Parliament album, I think). Mainly I just like the message.

[mnaz]

And I still like the message. At this point, all of this talk I've heard recently about another "civil war" is just that, just talk. Neighbors don't really talk to each other in that way. It's manufactured by unnecessarily tribal political factions. Wake up!

takes me back fifty years when I was hard core long haul trucking right thru the night on down to baltimore like comming into new yprk city in the earlt morning light lots of typos bot wireman saying screw it go for it jack

where is wolfman jack with his 50. million watt sisnal need to blast that tune out there because
Because

"Listen: We are here on Earth to fart around. Don't let anybody tell you any different".

[winddance]

Wolfman jack was part of my youthful rebellion. late night listening on a transistor radio under my pillow. hadn't thought of him in years. get your bugaloos out baby. until tomorrow....bye

[mnaz]

And now listening to my other favorite blast from the past song, "Ghost Town" by the Specials. THE song that first made me want to play bass guitar.

[mnaz]

I'm still playin that tune, btw. It's in my regular rotation... Merry Merry!

[mnaz]

Go for it Jack!
