CHRISTGAU CONSUMER GUIDE

Although Parliament-Funkadelic was more influenced by white rock (especially heavy metal) than any other black band in history, it was virtually unknown among whites until the late 70’s. No doubt that’s because one thing Clinton borrowed from white rock was outrageous belligerence, but it’s still a racial disgrace (and not the last, I guarantee).
