George Clinton, legendary funk musician and bandleader of Parliament‑Funkadelic, wearing a leopard‑print jacket and wild multicolored dreadlocks with red, blue, yellow, and green strands, dark goggles on his forehead, eyes wide in expressive surprise against a dark background. Yeah, I never get sick of this. After yesterday’s response I don’t know what to expect today but surely people will get that this is a joke? Probably not
