Where'd You Get Your Funk From?- Theophilus "Chip" Glass (Joyce Irby, Dallas Austin, George Clinton)

** PLEASE SUBSCRIBE **
Featured in WYGYFF Episode 37: Singer, songwriter and producer Theophilus “Chip/Maniac” Glass, known for working with acts like Klymaxx bassist Joyce Irby, Glasswurk, Dallas Austin and Highland Place Mobsters, The LaFace Cartel, George Clinton and Fishbone. He has also performed as GeorgiaClay and spent decades knocking around Atlanta’s music scene, with many interesting experiences and stories to share. Those include his musical father, bringing Usher to L.A. Reid, impersonating Journey's Steve Perry in the recording studio and missed opportunities due to years of incarceration.
RECORDED JULY 2025
Hosted by Scott "DR GX" Goldfine — musicologist, author of “Everything Is on the One: The First Guide of Funk” and creator/host of the popular TRUTH IN RHYTHM podcast — "Where'd You Get Your Funk From?" is the latest interview show brought to you by FUNKNSTUFF.NET. Where’d You Get Your Funk From (WYGYFF) is an open format video and audio podcast focusing on the here and now, with a broad range of creative and artistic guests sharing fascinating stories, experiences, and perspectives.
WYGYFF is a welcoming avenue to newer and independent musical acts as well as established and still active musicians of any genre; authors; filmmakers; actors; artists; collectors and archivists; radio & podcast personalities; journalists; scholars; sound techs; promoters; photographers; and other creative people. A common thread, is the show's standard opening question: Where’d you get your funk from?
This is much deeper than it may seem as the answer need not be strictly about funky music, as not everyone has found the funk. It could hit on whatever type of music touches their soul or pleasure centers. Additionally, the question extends beyond music. Paraphrasing George Clinton, funk is whatever it needs to be to get you over the hump. Thus, guests can explain where they got their grit, perseverance, inspiration, talent, creativity, character or other qualities that shaped them into who they are today. This serves as a springboard into candid, in-depth and engrossing conversations.
