Old School Friday: Grown Folks Music

It's The Music, Old School Friday Add comments

Man, I had fun with this one!

This is some of the funkiest shit I have ever heard in my life; mind you, I’ve heard the song before, but seeing this in concert…whew!!! Watch your ears, though…Bootsy ain’t playin’!

Alright…everybody GET UP!

“Pills and thrills and dafodills will kill…Hang tough children…He’s coming…He’s coming…Coming…Take Me AWAY!!!”

And I’m throwing one at you…”If I leave here tomorrow, would you still remember me?…I’m as free as a bird now, and this bird you cannot change…” Remember that scene in Forrest Gump when Jenny is out on the balcony about to jump? That’s when I fell in love with this song…makes you think…

It’s long…but skip ahead to about 6:30 to hear one of the best guitar solos ever!

  • Free Bird was classic for me. Thanks for the introduction to Bootsy. Funky!
  • DP
    Yabba Dabba Dooza Baby - Bootzilla!!!

    Great picks all the way around. The solos in Free Bird are off the chain too. And Maggot Brain is a classic.
  • Wind me up! Great choices this OSF. Have a great weekend.
  • This sound like some dope music [as my mom would call it]...but you right, the joint is funky!
  • This was a hard week, but you came through with the realest!
  • Me love Bootsy baby!

    He was/is one of the best bassists around.
  • great choices

    love it

    have a nice weekend hun

    xxx :razz:
  • Those are some good ones cant go wrong with Bootsy.
  • Happy OSF! I hadn't heard that Bootsy groove for many, many moons. I had to go for the 'replay' button and hear it again. That was my favorite groove for me in your choices...

    I'm not a major guitar fan, however, I went with the master -- Jimi Hendrix -- as my entry in this week's OSF meme.

    peace, Villager
  • I forgot about this song, I love this song! I remember when The Dogg Pound sampled it back in High School, the dirty remix.

    I had so many rock songs to chose it became overwhelming. Lynard Skynard is tight.
  • That Bootsy video was killer.
    I never seen/heard it before. I am oh so going to look that song up to download.
  • :cool: I updated the catch up post this morning and found that great minds think alike. I too have a case of the maggot brain.

    All my best to you.

  • ooooo we! Sitting here getting for work jammin' to Bootsy. Great pics Marva!
  • Love FreeBird. I would have picked that one and the riff from Hotel California by the Eagles.

    I might have to join in on this party! ;-)
  • Dee
    You did your thing this week :grin: !..Had a sistah rocking and grooving..bringing back that FUNK sound..awright now!
  • Hey Lady!
    Great picks! I thought about Bootsy, and then decided to do Jimi, but then settled on Good Old Chuck!
    Happy OSF! Have an awesome weekend!
