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:

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.
