| George
Clinton Funks Up WCBE's Jazz Sunday |
| The
Mothership landed atop 90.5-FM WCBE's studios around 3pm, December
14, 2008. On that Sunday afternoon, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
legend and founder of Parliament-Funkadelic, George Clinton,
took control of the Columbus area public radio station, turning
it into Station We-FuNK. Jazz Sunday host, K.C. Jones, and his
co-host, Jack Marchbanks, were happy to oblige. |

| Music
of 1968: From Fun to Funk, From Hope to Hate |
| Observers
have said that the events of 1968 created a social mess that
we're still trying to clean up. 1968 was an earthquake that
is still sending aftershocks through America's cultural landscape.
A seismic shift rumbled through music in 1968, too. Aretha Franklin
ascended to her throne as the Queen of Soul that year. James
Brown became Soul Brother Number in the aftermath of Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr.'s assassination. The Beatles unwittingly set
in motion Charles Manson's murderous mayhem with the inclusion
of "Helter Skelter" on their 1968 White Album. The Rolling Stones
made a rare but timely political statement with "Street Fightin'
Man." |
