..Funk is creative freedom. The freedom to be as simplistic as to take only one element and repeat it over and over again until you're hypnotized by the repetition. Also, the freedom to take many elements and mix them to make it work for you, regardless of the standard.Funk is true. It comes from deep in the soul, so when it is experienced, there is no doubt what it is. Many have tried and continue to try, to imitate and duplicate it, to deceive by redefining it, to rename it and claim it. However, true Funk is, regardless of what others do.With Funk, you get the progressive, the positive, the good side of things (i.e. all that is best). But you also get the negative, the opposition and resistance (or all that is nasty and ugly). There is something to learn from both sides. They are two parts of one whole.
