Funkadelic - Good Thoughts, Bad Thoughts (1974)

I think back on the first time I heard this song... It damn near blew my mind. I have heard many Parliament Funkadelic songs but this one was different. Eddie Hazel was amazing on the guitar and when I heard the spoken word towards the end of the song, it struck a nerve with me. "Travel like a King"... I realized just how amazingly conscious these dudes are. Wow!.. I hope you love it as much as I do!
