Are you really sure about Clinton's birth date? Some say he was born not 1940 but rather 1942 or 1941!

Birth record says 1941. Questors 18:20, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

I believe he also appeared in the film the breaks.

[edit] Birth date

Well, if his birth record says what it says, why don't change the obvious wrong information given in the article then?

Should info about his demo tape done with Lady Miss Kier be put in somewhere?

Dear God, thank you for George Clinton, the funk musician. Not just a funk musician; he's THE funk musician.

[edit] years active

has he been active since 1955 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mick foley (talk • contribs) 00:32, 7 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Proposed merger

In regards to the proposal to merger P-Funk Mothership with this article, I strongly support the move. I feel the Mothership article lacks notability. Chuchunezumi 19:16, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

I disagree. The Mothership was a signature bit of Parliament stagecraft specifically and a big part of the P-Funk mythology generally, so if if is going to be merged it should be with one of those articles, not George Clinton's. (Full disclosure: I just added this page to the new Category:P-Funk mythology.) InnocuousPseudonym 08:07, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

I disagree too, they should remain separate.Zisimos 10:50, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mathematics BA Urban Legend

Does he really have a maths degree? XKCD says he started this urban legend... --Yorinaga 08:11, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GTA radio-host

Shouldn't it be mentioned that he provides the voice for a fictional radio host in the GTA San Andreas game? Funkynusayri 14:43, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
