George Clinton & Parliament-Funkadelic brought the Just For The Funk of It! Final Tour?!? to the Xcite Center in Bensalem, PA on Friday.
P-Funk’s potentially final outing made weekend stops in New York and Pennsylvania, skipping over New Jersey, where Clinton founded the seminal funk collective with members of his bands Parliament and Funkadelic back in the ’60s.
Clinton was recently nominated for induction into the New Jersey Hall of Fame alongside actor Paul Rudd, football player Tiki Barber, chef Anthony Bourdain, Joe Walsh of the Eagles, and first lady Jill Biden, though after voting, the 82-year-old bandleader was passed over this time around; of the five, only Barber made the cut.
Clinton’s achievements were previously celebrated on his 80th birthday with the dedication of Parliament Funkadelic Way, which includes the section of Plainfield Avenue where his first group, The Parliaments, used to rehearse in his family’s barbershop.
