Harlem Hip Hop Tours
Why is referring to the George Clinton concert as “the Mothership” a pun?
Matt Cibula of Pop Matters had this to say after seeing
George CLinton and Parliament Funkadelic
“This was the single greatest concert I have ever seen in my life. This beats R.E.M. on their Preconstruction tour when they were young and hungry and wanted to kick some ass. This beats Dizzy Gillespie at the Blue Note two months before he died. This beats being at the taping of “Rapmania” at the Apollo in 1989, where everyone who was anyone in hip-hop was tearing it up and the hardcore Harlem crowd was booing L.L. for being soft (“don’t call it a comeback” my ass). This even beats watching Boozoo Chavis and Beau Jocque in a battle of the bands at the Rock’N'Bowl in New Orleans.
This, people, was the Mothership.”
George Clinton was a big fan of Star Trek and the references are to that TV series. There is more info on this in Wikipedia. In their browser type: Mothership_Connection
This will give you all the whys and where fores.
