Released 45 years ago today.

Great to see these promotional articles from the Ahh... The Name Is Bootsy Baby LP release. Bootsy's Rubber Band was my favorite of the P-Funk spin off acts from their peak years in the late '70s. Thanks for posting!

I think I have been somewhat prejudiced against the guy since I saw him appear on the Motown 25 special. WHY!!! While I'm at it, how about Adam Ant. What was that mess about They both chewed up enough time that could have been used for, say, the Marvelettes?

Ralph, I don't remember his M25 appearance. Might you be thinking of his appearance with the Funk Brothers in the doc Standing in the Shadows of Motown?

[ralpht]

I seem to remember that Sans.

I seem to remember that Sans.

Yeah, that doc had all kinds of random non-Motowners participating. I can see why you'd be perturbed.

[ralpht]

I remember him in the Funks special. I guess I just don't like the guy's voice. Sorry Boot. Stick to the bass.

[motony]

wow, I don't remember Bootsy being on Motown 25.I know Adam Ant threw me for a loop, but I sure don't remember Bootsy being on it.

[ralpht]

Do I have the wrong anniversary special?

[motony]

you know what Ralph, it was that Funk Brothers movie & Bootsy did Cool Jerk.

[Boogiedown]

I guess he set himself up by choosing that titled song.


funny thing about feathers, some people can wear them .... and some can't ....

Thanks for the postings, clearing things up for me. I still stick to my original evaluation of the dude.
