    For Funk Sake, we need more of this music, it's simply brilliant. The story goes that while the Commodores were in Studio, something went wrong, and while they were waiting for the techos to fix the problem, Ron la Pread started goofing around with a bass riff, and the rest is history.

      Check out Vulfpeck. Their stuff with Antwan especially. Songs like 1612 or Funky Duck are straight up just silly, but the funk is so thick you could age it for a few years and serve it with apple slices and a fine wine. Not a huge fan of their other vocalists, but the rest of their stuff is insane.

      Music is, and has ALWAYS been integral to the human experience. And good music has been made along side of weak music . Let each piece and each musician prosper or fail on their own merit. Such broad condemnations as yours serve only to alienate people from the joy and power that music wields to uplift the human soul. Peace.
