My part time maintenance guy's step son worked at George's recording studio in Tallahassee as a goffer when he was in school. The kid was always talking about George Clinton, but his step dad is a real redneck, and didn't know who he was. He had seen him a time or two as he dropped the boy off to work, but all he saw was an old black man.
A few months back he finally saw some old You Tube videos, and realized the old black man was an icon in his industry.
