(313) George Clinton Answers Techno#8217;s Greatest Question
Found this article on the net, made me laugh Legendary funkateer George Clinton has finally revealed what he thought of Derrick May#8217;s classic description of Detroit techno as sounding #8220;like George Clinton and Kraftwerk stuck in an elevator, in typically robust fashion. Speaking to Australian journalist Cyclone recently, he chuckled when asked what he#8217;d really create if he genuinely got stuck with the Germans in the aforementioned lift. Well, some funny lil' babies, that's for sure. We sho' f**k 'em in the butt! You'd definitely come up with some lil' battery-operated children that won't 'techno' for an answer... You'd probably come up with techno doo-wop. ___ Freeserve AnyTime, only £13.99 per month with one month's FREE trial!

I'm sure that quote probably ended up annoying George C. as much as it probably annoyed everybody in the 313 for its all-too-frequent repetition. Unfortunately, with all that has been said about techno, it was this comment that always made the final print. and usually without the with only a sequncer to keep them company proviso. sheesh, the comment's more than ten years old. let it die. let it die. -marc -- NRR. have folks seen the HL server at det.servemp3.com? -- _ In the U.S. you have to be a deviant or exist in dreary boredom.

Chill out - it's just a quote that is repeated often because it has a certain resonance with fans and journalists. -Original Message- From: marc christensen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 01, 2002 12:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; 313@hyperreal.org Subject: Re: (313) George Clinton Answers Techno#8217;s Greatest Question At 8:42 AM +0200 10/1/02, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Legendary funkateer George Clinton has finally revealed what he thought of Derrick May#8217;s classic description of Detroit techno as sounding like George Clinton and Kraftwerk stuck in an elevator, in typically robust fashion.
