I went to see George Clinton with an ex-girlfriend once. I noticed that about half-way through the show she became very unhappy. And she was unhappy, in the ride home until I asked her what was wrong. It turns out that when the crowd was yelling "We want Bootsy" she thought they were yelling "We want pussy".
One of the things I remember about seeing George Clinton was that his band played for like like two hours before he himself came out, waiting until everyone in the crowd was good and stoned.
This was in 1996, and I remember hoping that there would be a "Clinton in '96" t-shirt available with George's face on it, but there wasn't one.
Bootsy!

That was the opposite of Bootsy. The picture was just too small to see the second moustache.

Can we stipulate that Bootsy is not earnest, 'o-' or otherwise?

George Clinton is in earnest. And he rocks!

George Clinton is in earnest.
Heh. Indeed.
And he rocks!
Nolo contendere.

Bootsy's space bass has a pickup dedicated to each string, each with its own output allowing him to run each string through its own set of effects.

George Clinton simply isn't to be relied on for funk.

Them's fightin' words, murky.

I think it's clear that murky's referring to one of the alternate definitions.

I'd like to note that the first two google ads on the definitions page I just linked refer to P-Funk.
