"Okay, Maggot Brain doesn't tell a story, but Parliament and Funkadelic have a surprisingly rich mythology behind their music. It's pieced together through out all their albums, but there's a cast of recurring characters. There's the Starchild, who brings Funk to earth and his nemesis Sir Noise D'voidofunk. Then you have Dr. Funkenstein who created Funk as a way to cure humanity's problems. The titular Maggot Brain is the concept of narrow-mindedness that leads us towards our doom. You can read"

"'"Play like your mama just died," George Clinton told guitarist Eddie Hazel. Then result was "Maggot Brain," ten minutes of Hendrix-style guitar anguish. This is the heaviest rock album the P-Funk crew ever created, but it also made room for the acoustic-guitar funk of "Can You Get to That."'"
