Here's Mara's take on the '70s funk icon. Her dad thinks the review is pretty spot-on. OnMilwaukee's second generation is school age now, ranging from newborn to 15 years old.
Occasionally, some of these kids will contribute their thoughts to the site that is older than they are. This commentary was written by 9-year-old Mara, who is the daughter of publisher Andy Tarnoff. The band brought the funk to the Pabst Theater Friday night. One backup dancer had a black bikini bra and black poofy tutu. One woman on stage had pink hair and a princess outfit with a white see through cape. A really good woman singer on stage had a red bikini bra on with blue ripped up shorts and metal silver boots.
But before we start, the opening band was really bad. Another question we had was, "How many people were on stage? Does George Clinton look old? No, but he did sit in his chair a lot. He watched his band and joined in a bit. In the concert I recognized eight songs. In the audience, four people stood out to me.
One lady down the aisle from me with a red shirt on was dancing like crazy. A man a couple seats up from me in orange was going insane. A woman four seats down from me was wearing a gold dress and singing and dancing like crazy. One woman on the top balcony was so excited, and she was wearing a red flapper dress! Some things the band did and said were: "Say what?!
The woman wearing the princess outfit bent down near the crowd and waved her hand close to her butt toward the people. The crowd had a mix of white people and black people. The bottom level was full. The second level which I was in was not that full. And the top level was not even close to being full. There were about two hours of the show, and my ears were ringing when we left, even though I was wearing earplugs.
