I read a profile story on George Clinton in an old issue of GQ (US edition – February 2007, US edition – read an extract here) over the weekend, and I'm happy to report that the Godfather of Funk is as colourful in real life (or at least in print) as he is on stage.
Sample quote: "He added the hair extensions in 1983, a year after his last big hit, “Atomic Dog.” Tied into his own black-and-gray tufts are strands of…well, today I spot orange, white, crimson, red, yellow, blue, purple, and green, but there may be others tucked away."
