Since he married Heather Mills? A program about her on the television last week, showed her for what she is - a gold digger. So does poor old Paul suck, or is he a sucker?

am sure the JB's were being funky at the time, Larry Graham certainly was so there was certainly slappin' and poppin' going on at that time...

So is a "good musician" one who with the taste to play just what is needed in timeless works of his own composition or someone who is particularly adept at finger gymnastics, taste be damned? (I can hear that shit at GC any night of the week with shredders doing their trying-out-an-axe routine.) There's a George Benson record, "The Other Side of Abbey Road," that shows how lame the results can be when "good musicians" get ahold of Beatles songs. Why is it that no covers of their music hold up to the originals? Saying he's not a great musician is like saying Paul Klee or Joan Miro were great picture makers but not great painters.

funk means a number of things in its earliest slang form- meaning stink, earthyness, basically has natural and primal permutations.....my bet is the evolution of its use follows a similar path as jazz, or 'Jas' as it was originally called...

id say Joe Cocker's cover of 'a little help from my friends' certainly holds up to the original, in fact imho beats the hell out of the original.....

Yeah, I agree with d. Musical ability doesn't automatically equate to the ability to make good music. There are plenty of "shredders" that make absolutely terrible music, and vice-versa.

it's semantics, man! I'd personaly say they were great artists who made music... i do see the distinction between a great musician, and a great music maker!

Paul Klee was a bad painter, but a great artist who made great paintings.

Shrug...

Semantics make for stupid arguments though. Don't they?
