The Chambers Brothers released “Funky” in 1971 and the song broke the Billboard Top 100 despite being deemed too risqué of a song for the time,” explains Moonalice vocalist Lester Chambers and legendary co-founder of the pioneering ‘60s psychedelic soul group The Chambers Brothers. “Now it is a new time and a new day, and we all need to get funky every now and then, especially in these crazy times. Moonalice delivers the song in a new, fun, and psychedelic soul jam kinda way. Everyone is lending something special to the song to make it unique and we are so excited for you to hear our latest song. We hope you get funky with us.”
And adds guitarist Barry Sless, “This is our arrangement of the Chambers Brothers classic. It features some funky grooving from Pete Sears and John Molo on bass and drums, a great synth solo from Jason Crosby, soulful harmonica playing by Lester Chambers, and lively backing vocals from the T-Sisters and Dylan Chambers. At 80 years old Lester is still showing us how to get funky!”

KPIX Eyewitness News report from October 5th 1967 in San Francisco by Ben Williams, featuring a press conference by The Grateful Dead, who are objecting to marijuana drug laws (after their recent arrest for possession).
Danny Rifkin (the group’s co-manager) states that: “The real danger to society … comes from a law that is so seriously out of touch with reality.”
He goes on to claim that the media’s focus on the ‘hippie’ stereotype is encouraging police to discriminate against people identified as being part of the counter culture movement.
Ends with Rifkin dismissing the ‘hippie’ as: “A lie as well … Afraid of people who are exploring new ways of living freely, the larger society has classified … them into the myth of the hippie. The long haired drop-out who performs his rites for the convenience of visiting cameramen.”
