Last night, one hour of the 10 hr series "rock and roll" was on early 70's
funk. Did anyone catch it? They began with James Brown, then Sly and the
Family Stone, and then spent about 30 minutes on Parlament-Funkadelic and a
few minutes on disco. I was disappointed that some of the best funk of
that era wasn't even mentioned. Overall, the show left me a little flat.
