I was watching Return of the Jedi last night, and after seeing the ewoks, I made the most genius, yet obvious connection ever...

I haven't stopped laughing for almost 20 minutes... It just doesn't get old no matter how many times I look at it! |

At point blank range, George Clinton put Alembic on the map for me as a teenager... And after meeting with the Wickersham family in person, I was able to direct my gratitude, respect, and admiration down to the human level. It was truly an amazing feeling of joy one must express, for a kid who came from the inner city, but happen to have a great set of ears, to full circle to Alembic's greatness In honor of George Clinton "Soul Hippies" Check out this video where George open up a jam called: "Cosmic Slop" Rocker - Eddie Hazel Kills an Alembic in over drive... And if that ain't "Illegal Yet" check out the second clip called: "Maggot Brain" Michael Hampton as the costumed as a Grim-Reepper, who's "killing me softy" with his Series I Guitar song! "Cosmic Slop" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ril94tt0YGA "Maggot Brain" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4YsGIIx-XQ |

yeah it's good to know that an overdriven alembic can sound really good with a great bluesy sound. Fantastic clip. Is that the same guy who used to wear a nappy on-stage? jazzyvee |

Mike always was the Grim Reeper. He always killed with his Alembic. Back in the day, with the Grim Reeper theme, he would wear a Fencing mask giving the appearance of a faceless immortal. That was Mike. He was out to kill the audience will killer solos using Alembics. Now those guys wear jeans, and colorful Hawaiian Shirts. Boy does times change. |

This is going to sound weird, but I have never seen a Star Wars Movie. The resemblance is uncanny though. I met George Clinton when I was playing in Nashville several years ago. He was very friendly, courteous and respectful. |
