Although the back half of August is usually getting into the final “homestretch” of summer in most places, by this time, all that cumulative sticky-icky heat and humidity can start to take a toll, especially in the concrete jungles found in big cities like Chicago or New York for example. Whether or not the urban heat island effect was a factor in this freaky-deeky video of “Cosmic Slop” from Funkadelic way back in 1973 is anyone’s guess. Still, whatever the case, it sure does an excellent job of capturing all the buck-wild energy that can characterize the dog days of August deep in the inner city. Sure to terrify your favorite conservative uncle, this batshit video is a thing of pure beauty, at least in the eyes of this writer. Can you dig it?
