Mothership Connection is the fourth album by American funk band Parliament, released in 1975. This concept album of P Funk mythology is usually rated as one of Parliament's best. Mothership Connection was the first P-funk album to feature Maceo Parker and Fred Wesley, who had left The J.B.'s, James Brown's backing band. "Mothership Connection" became Parliament's first album to be certified gold and later platinum.
Describing the album, George Clinton said "We had put black people in situations nobody ever thought they would be in, like the White House. I figured another place you wouldn't think black people would be was in outer space. I was a big fan of Star Trek, so we did a thing with a pimp sitting in a spaceship shaped like a Cadillac, and we did all these James Brown-type grooves, but with street talk and ghetto slang.
Something I like about this particular throwback is that I had no idea this car existed before!
Ive lived in California all my life and If I haven't seen one here then I'm sure my chances of ever seeing one are pretty slim. What I found in this ad that this vehicle was sold in only 4 US States. 1 Dealer in Arizona, 1 in Hawaii, 2 in Nevada, and a Whopping 26 dealers in California!
I wonder why California was such a big market for it. It was pretty much offered in all the big California cities!
So, the Denver Broncos beat the defending Super Bowl Champion Ravens 49-27. Just in case they win it all this year, here is proof I didn't just jump on the bandwagon! That's me, far right at age 4 or 5.
After the mass reproduction of DeGrazia’s oil painting “Los Niños” in 1960, he became known as one of the most reproduced artist in the world. As Marion DeGrazia recalled, “When we went to New York, when they were doing the UNICEF card Los Niños, we went in the gate and these great, tall Swiss guards said, ‘Oh, you can’t come in here’. He was wearing his boots and his cowboy hat. And just in time, somebody from the party came down and said, ‘No, he’s the guest of honor. Bring him in’…It was for children, of course. They sold, they say, a million boxes.” Happy Throwback Thursday!
Dad and I after building the best wall unit we ever constructed. Dresser, entertainment stand, massive desk and bookshelves all connected to load baring walls. Sturdy as hell.

Bruce Magidsohn, SSU charter faculty member and professor of art, teaches in a room referred to as "The Pit" due to its lack of desks and chairs. The photographic history of SSU/UIS can be found online in Campus Archival Documents.
DeGrazia demonstrated his talents in the studio of NBC’s Today show in 1960 and received this letter from producer Robert J. Northshield. “I enjoyed your appearance on the TODAY show this morning very much and I am most anxious to let you know how grateful I am for your help. I rarely get a chance to get to the studio during the taping of the show, but I watch it on a closed circuit in my office and again, with my family each morning. Your performance was enjoyable in both instances. Thank you again from the entire staff of TODAY.” Happy Throwback Thursday!
Me, pulling Evan in Steve's old wagon, in front of my old house. Apparently, Steve delivered our newpapers from this wagon for a while.
And just for fun, below: a scanned picture of me with my buggy at almost 22 months old, from 6/4/84.
Throwback Thursday: (Let's try to get back in the groove of this here)
This is me and my cousin Justin, circa 1993 or 1994, in a park playing our Gameboys.
Things of note: Gameboys are from 1989. I still have mine and it works but i have misplaced it in the last couple of years. Justin is small for his age, i dont even know how old he is here but he is a prodigy and we played Nintendo all the time...
I am wearing a Pearl Jam "Alive" shirt which has since disintegrated.
I particularly find this photo hilarious b/c we are in this beautiful park, in nature, and what are we doing...our generation was so far ahead of today's generation, i tell ya!
