Make Your Kids Listen to This!!!!

True Funkophiles!!! Strike back for the future! Ground your kids on a Saturday afternoon this summer, buy them a funky shirt and some cool shades and make them sit on the patio and drink some lemonade with you while you play this album of "Daddy's Old Music" for them. If they haven't come around by the end of "Me and Baby Brother", just tell yourself you did your best, give 'em back the TV remote or send them off to listen to Britney and Christina. You should stay there, freshen up the sun screen, and wait a couple of hours for when they come back and say, "What did you say the name of that band was?" Funk on!

the grandfather clause

War were the grandfathers of mulit-ethnic, political-party monster, rap-rock bands. Without them would we really have LA's Latin-rap-rockers Ozomatli or the hip-hop-Jewish-Black-east coast-west-coast culture-clash of the Beastie Boys or the British-by-way-of-India asiandubfoundation?!

In fact, asiandubfoundation's "Community Music" is like listening to War 25 years in the future! "Slippin Into Darkness" contorts into Community Music's "Truth Hides" in melody and feeling and groove. "Why Cant We Be Friends" skip-hops into the joy of "New Way, New Life." And "The World Is A Ghetto" slides into the message of "Collective Mode."

Open your mind, expand your geographical exercursions, be a culture vulture and make War!
