      @Ric Hicks and I believe it was 1970 when Bootsy became one of the JB's. So it was close to the same time as when the great Larry Graham was slapping that bass up for the Family Stone. Graham got him by about two years.

      +navyman4 , of course you were sheltered and only 3y/o @ the time of this concert. Bootsy was a free spirit in the Funk.

      @navyman4 9 років тому +4

      UNbowed62 I wouldn't say sheltered. My mom was a drug kingpin and I was raped by a prostitute over and over for 2 years. Still, I think I was just too young to notice the language.
