Ahh… It’s Bootsy's University Baby!
On July 1 classes will commence at the Funk University, the online bass guitar school created and curated by Bootsy Collins - you may have heard of him. If not, pull out a random James Brown, Parliament or Funkadelic record and take a refresher course. Then sign up for the bass courses at TheFunkUniversity.com. "The best day of my life was when I graduated from P.U.," said Collins, in a statement. "The next best day of my life will be to see students graduate from F.U." As for the motivation of launching The Funk University at this point in his career, Collins remarks, "Funk don't funk around for nobody, so get funked up while you can."
