Ep 829 : Bootsy Collins the King of Funk

"Today on Let There Be Talk, I'm talkin' to the king of funk himself — the one and only Bootsy Collins! We're goin' deep into that cosmic groove — from James Brown to Parliament-Funkadelic to Bootsy's Rubber Band — this man is the funk. Put on your star-shaped shades, turn up the bass, and get ready to ride the mothership, baby. Bootsy Collins is here, and it's about to get funky!"

"Welcome to another episode of Let There Be Talk. Today I'm diving deep into a few subjects that hit me hard this week — starting with one of the greatest films ever made, Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver. We'll get into the grit, the genius, and the madness of Travis Bickle, and how that movie still punches you in the gut almost 50 years later. After all these years what do you think happened to Travis. Then I'm switching gears into the world of metal — breaking down Metallica's "Disposable Heroes", Is this their greatest song? And finally, I want to talk about the loss of D'Angelo, an artist who changed the game with soul, honesty, and groove. Brown Sugar is hands down one of the best records of the 90's   Thank you for always tuning in and remember to keep the Candles Lit.
