lol @ half a bridge. but, yeah.

and i think D's funk is less about the various pieces of the song pulling one's body in different directions as much as it's about working one into a zone via repetition. the structure kinda reminds me of Sly's 'Africa Talks To You' in that it's kinda hypnotic. it drones. i think that's what he's going for, usually. that mixed w/some Worrell/Clinton/Collins and/or Prince or Ohio Players in the vocals.

i blame Hip-Hop. Hip-Hoppers seem to make relatively flat Funk. i'm hard pressed to think of any who bring it w/some real dynamism.
