“Aww yeah!”
– Bootsy Collins
I’ve done about 800 original interviews for SuicideGirls and probably a couple thousand more for other venues, so I think it’s fair to say that I’ve gotten pretty good at working around people’s tertiary expressions like, “oh man” and “yeah.” But when you’ve got a legend like Bootsy Collins saying “yeah mama, baby and man,” it would be sacrilegious to delete it.
Collins is best known as one of the co-founders of the seminal 1970s funk group Parliament Funkadelic, but I really got into his work in the early ’90s when he teamed up with Bill Laswell and Buckethead. As Collins and I discuss in this interview, that was a golden era — and it’s still going on today. Bootsy’s latest album, Christmas is 4 Ever, features many new songs by Bootsy and his crew.
