[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After reading these descriptions, I would conclude that many are not musically inclined.

The difference between funk and Go Go is the beat. Go Go is a very percussive form of music. Funk is bass driven.

I am a native. I say that to establish my bona fides. I have heard of Fugazi (I think I skew older from the targeted demographic), and I definitely know Chuck Brown, EU, et al. I was never a big fan, but there were Go Go hits. The beats have influenced a number of artists to this day - mostly R & B. The Go Go beat actually has Latin roots or Afro-Latino. It's an acquired taste in some ways, just as is jazz or classical.

I happen to love all music, including opera, bluegrass, country, zydeco, etc. Go Go is to DC as zydeco is to Louisiana. Good music is good music, and as much as Go Go concerts were not my cup of tea, I found myself dancing if I heard it and the mood was right.

Chuck Brown was a very engaging and entertaining person. His music was positive and happy. There were never vulgarities or other negative images we associate with certain genres. DC is very proud of the Godfather of go go, and rightfully so. May the man rest in peace and may the music keep playing.

School's over. I have to sleep.

Can you read?  Maybe you are not reading comp inclined.  I named the exact instruments used rather than your overly general description.  And I PLAY the instruments.  The addition of legalese in your snide post doesn't make you seem any more informed on the subject.  Rather, it makes you seem to be trying really hard to appear knowledgeable.  Stick with being a bitch lawyer and you should be just fine.   :wink:  [/quote]

Hahahaha, are you going to be one of those people who's like "I used to hang out with Ian MacKaye"??[/quote]
