14:45 PMMy mother, Memory Valentine passed away in 2015, at 66 years old. On Friday nights we would listen to WMMS 100.7 Cleveland Ohio waiting for them to play maggot brain by the funkadelic. I was wondering if you could find time in your show today to play this song while I continue to heal. Warm regards, Dan -- The story behind “Maggot Brain” is almost as widely-known as the song itself. George Clinton encouraged Funkadelic guitarist Eddie Hazel to play a two part solo—for the first part, he was to imagine his mother had died; for the second part, he was to imagine that he found out she had actually survived. The end result is a moving display of human emotion. “‘Maggot Brain’ is a brother crying his soul out,” Funkadelic member Garry Shider said in a PBS Documentary.: bit.ly - Jul 22, 2022
