George Clinton in conversation with Paul D. Miller aka DJ Spooky with a post-talk DJ set by Spooky

George Clinton didn’t invent funk. But as the leader and center of gravity for the musical collective known variously as Parliament, Funkadelic, and P-Funk, Clinton has spent a lifetime reinventing (time and again) Black America’s other greatest music form. Here, Clinton will share stories and wisdom acquired over his eighty-four years. He’ll be joined in conversation by Paul D. Miller aka DJ Spooky, a musical visionary in his own right who is known for his work in electronic forms including trip hop and illbient. Miller also will deliver a post-talk DJ set sure to tear the roof off Bowker Auditorium.
