The
P Funk Mothership, otherwise known as
The Holy Mothership is the arcane space vehicle of
Dr. Funkenstein aka
George Clinton and his agents of
Supergroovalisticprosifunkstication. An integral part of the
P Funk mythology, the Mothership existed both conceptually as a fictional vehicle of
funk deliverance, and as a physical prop central to P Funk concerts. Powered by unknown means, presumably The Funk and simple
stagecraft, the Mothership appeared over the
Planet Earth many times during the second half of the Twentieth century, and was even seen to physically land at a number of live music venues in the United States during the 1970s in order to disgorge its Funk to the people.
