Funk for Friday: Funkadelic – Funky Dollar Bill

From Funkadelic’s second studio album, Free Your Mind… And Your Ass Will Follow (1970). Rock critic Robert Christgau said of this album, “Not only is the shit weird, the weirdness signifies.” The weirdness has its shit together most solidly on this track, which still melts my face.

zerode

is an over-caffeinated and under-employed grad school dropout, aspiring leftwing intellectual and cultural studies academic, cinéaste, and former poet. Raised in San Francisco on classic film, radical politics, burritos and soul music, then set loose upon the world. He spends his time in coffee shops with his laptop and headphones, caffeinating and trying to construct a post-whatever life.

 

What's in a name... The handle "zerode" is a contraction of Zéro de Conduite, the title of Jean Vigo's 1933 movie masterpiece about schoolboy rebellion.
