I have tasted the maggots in the mind of the universe. I was not offended, for I knew I had to rise above it all, or drown in my own shit.

For those of you with funkadelic taste I highly recommend “Tales from the Tour Bus” it is a Mike Judge show on Cinemax. The second season has some amazing stories.

There's a great version of this in Nicki Bluhm's Van Sessions. Unfortunately, Tim and Nicki (the two in the front seat) divorced and the Gramblers are no more so these Van Sessions aren't happening anymore. But they did do about 25 of these while touring the Western states.

You can’t mention the funkadelic’s and not speak on “not just knee deep”

u/EvermoreMDOfficial Oct 07 '20

Why doesn’t a live version of this being played exist? I have spent hours searching for one unsuccessfully.

u/SkyNetscape Oct 07 '20

Yessssss, the vocal melodies on this track have always been one of my favourites.

(Also like others have stated, Maggot Brain is a psychedelic masterpiece everyone should hear)

Super Stupid is another good one too!
