Sacramento Awaits the Mothership

Posted March 21st, 2008 | View Comments

This post was originally titled “Off Topic — Politics — Is America Ready for Another Clinton White House?”

But the truth is, that title was just an excuse to answer  “I say yes.  Especially if it’s George Clinton!”

But Wait, This Is On Topic After All

It turns out that everything ends up being about Sacramento.  Dawn Silva, who (if Wikipedia is to be trusted) sang for Sly and The Family Stone before joining George Clinton’s PFunk in 1977, hails originally from Sacramento — and that’s what listed as her location on her MySpace page.  “She was the only original Brides of Funkenstein member to continue through Brides’ career.”

Her MySpace page makes me wonder how I ever could have doubted MySpace.  That place is fantastic, as of today.

Hyperlink that funky music, white boy!  No greater HTML hath any man.

    Dawn Silva was indeed part of George Clinton’s crew starting in about 1976 along with Lynn Mabry. Before that, Lynn and Dawn sang back-up for Sly Stone. I write about this and more in my book about Sly. Check it out at http://www.lulu.com/content/1412956.
