It's been a long, funky road for George Clinton, who has been playing with Parliament-Funkadelic and it's offshoots since the late 1960s.

Luckily, though, time hasn't slowed him down: The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and legend of funk is stopping by Dallas with his band tonight tonight to lay down some serious grooves.

In this week's print edition of DC9, Clinton spoke with us about how he's been able to keep bringing the funk for all these years:

"Damn, well, we've had enough time to do all kinds of music. We took advantage of that, from rock 'n' roll to doo-wop to pop to rock to Motown to the kind of rock 'n' roll we did at the end of the '60s. That was Funkadelic." Continue reading...

Tonight, as his band plays the South Side Music Hall, you can find out just what makes George Clinton's funk so legendary. And, thanks to the folks at the Gilley's complex, we have five pairs of tickets to see the band at South Side Music Hall to give to some lucky DC9 readers.
