George Clinton - The Mothership Connection

George Clinton struck the mama load with the mothership connection. This one was the turning point, alright. Not only did it give Clinton his first gold album and launch P-Funk as damn near a musical genre in its town right, but most important, it provided the impetus for the mothership tour, whish in turn begat the funkentelechy vs. The placebo sundrome ''flashlight'' tour, which begat the clones of dr. funkenstein tour, which gave rise to the one nation under a groove antitour-all barnstorming black guerilla theater/extravaganzas that make p-funk seem like a cross between the old apollo and the circus.
