Man. Myth. Morland.: Atomic god

The first concert I ever attended was a five-hour P-Funk endurance test. I recall a friend on far too many substances involuntarily depositing the contents of his stomach onto the aisle next to our seats. Someone has put together this collection of P-Funk mythology, and it brings me right back to those fun-filled days:

Starchild's nemesis is Sir Nose D Voidoffunk ("Sir Noise Devoid of Funk" from Funkentelechy Vs the Placebo Syndrome (Parliament, 1977)). Inspired by The Pinocchio Theory of Bootsy"s Rubber Band, Sir Nose attempts to end the Funk because he is too cool to dance. He is the master of the Placebo Syndrome, which causes unFunkiness (a combination of stupidity and no dancing). His goal is to place the minds of all humanity into a state called the Zone of Zero Funkativity. Starchild, on the other hand, uses his Bop Gun ("Bop Gun (Endangered Species)," from Funkentelechy Vs the Placebo Syndrome) to achieve Funkentelechy for all humanity. With the Funky powers of the Bop Gun (which are augmented by the Flash Light), Starchild causes Sir Nose to reach Funkentelechy, and find his Funky soul. He then dances away the night.

Dear Morland,
I was very disapointed in reading the account of your first concert experience. My disenchantment stems not from any objection to your writing style, nor dispute of your obvious wealth of knowledge surrounding the mythology of Funkdom. Mostly, I'm soured because....I thought I had lived that incident down. Was I ever wrong!
