I remember seeing this album cover before I ever knew who George Clinton or Funkadelic were, or even what funk was. It would show up at various garage sales when I was a kid, and every time, it sent chills through under-10-yo me. It still does kinda, but not in the same way.

The model is Barbara Cheeseborough, who was coming up in the fashion modeling world, and had also appeared on the cover of Funkadelic’s self-titled debut in 1970.

    Let’s see if I can get it from memory, not looking it up:

    Mother Earth is pregnant for the third time,
    for y’all have knocked her up.
    I have seen the maggots in the mind of the universe,
    but I knew I had to rise above it all
    or drown in my own shit.
