Interesting Fellow: SUN RA

space is the place.

Sun Ra was a man that inspired many, and confused most. As his talent grew, so did his oddball ways of life and world views. He recorded over 1000 songs and published 100 full length LP's in his career, all the while claiming he was of the Angel Race and a descendant of Saturn (the Planet). He was, unequivocally, one of the most gifted jazz musicians This world has seen and his eccentric philosophies and playing style would raise the bar for future jazz musicians.

The P-Funk All-Star himself, George Clinton, once had this to say about Ra - This boy's definitely out to lunch...same place I eat at! - Who knows what that means? Who cares? How cool do you have to be to have George Clinton say something like that about you?

They just don't make em like they used to.
