Summary

"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!"
