Super Heroes & the Funk

What is the FUNK? >>>

Well in My Educated yet Humble opinion it’s got alot to do with attitude, Style, Sex~Appeal & the Passionate NEED to be Different, Exciting & COOL!!! >>>

In Music, the FUNK plays an essential part in My Working day, defining Who I AM & WHY I do what I do! >>>

Super Heroes have got the FUNK!!! >>> There is absolutely NO QUESTION about this! >>>
I have been an AVID Comic Book & Super Hero FaN since I first started buying Comics as an 8 Year old boy in the town of My birth~ Wimbledon in South~West LoNdoN, way back in 1973! >>> The seed of the “Daddy Funk Vibe” was sown being BLOWN AWAY by AWESOME Marvel Comic Book Genius! >>>Such unforgetable Characters as “Conan the Barbarian”, “Spiderman”, “Nick Fury agent of S.H.I.E.L.D”, “Thor”&”The Fantastic Four”. >>> Fabulous, Magical, Modern Titans to fill My Young Mind with Passion, Joy, Excitement & Hope! >>>
I was inspired enough to Draw many of My own Comic Books & Write regularly to Marvel in the UK asking all sorts of Questions which filled My Young Brain to bursting point! >>>

In later Years as an Art Student at the Arts Institute of Bournemouth & Poole, Super Heroes again affected & Influenced My Art, Design & Early Music Making & Song Writing >>>

I Visited & Subsiquently Lived iN the Mighty New York City in 1986 as a 21 Year old MaN where Music, Culture, Art, Women & Super Heroes were an important part of My every day exsistance >>>

Moving back to Live in the thick of LoNdoN in the late 80s, My passion became an all consuming Obsession with the discovery of the “Graphic Novel” >>> Holy Bat~Funk Robin!>>> This Shit was INCREDIBLE!!! >>> Frank Miller’s “The Dark Knight Returns” re~Invented The Batman (a DC Character) in a way that seemed SO RIGHT, GRITTY & REAL & was the PERFECT Mind~Fuel for My Song Writing, Drumming, Latin Percussion Playing, Clubbing….. Infact EVERY element of My Life at that time in My Life! >>>

& OH MY GOD that LOGO!!! SO COOL, SO SEXY!!! & a HUGE influence on the Daddy Funk “DF” Logo I use, in ALL My Business today.
The Batman became My MAN in the 80s & I had every GREAT title by ALL the ground~breaking Artists & Writers during that period >>> BATMAN was Dark, Driven, obsessed, COOL & above all SUPER~FUNKY!!!!!!!!

These Days with Many Hollywood Movies on the subject of Comic Book Heroes ~ Some GREAT, some TRUELY AWEFUL!!!! My LOVE of Comics & Comic Heroes is as Fresh as EVER! >>> As an adult I have More Money to spend on the subject (YIPPEE!!!) & My Passion grows & GROWS!!! >>>
I’m reading X~Men Comics at present & LOTS of Daredevil & Witchblade >>> So I seem to have Returned (with the exception of the Witchblade) to My original LOVE AFFAIR with ALL THINGS MARVEL! >>>

&&&&& I wish to state INFATICALLY that “Batman Begins” ( Directed by the Brit, Christopher Nolan & Starring Christian Bale, Michael Caine & Gary Oldman ) is without a doubt THE BEST Batman & Super Hero Movie EVER MADE!!!!! >>> There I’ve said it! >> Panther Kitten & I saw the Movie twice in New York this July & were COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY!!!>>> May all Blogging Hell break Loose if You disagree!!!!! >>> >>>>> I DARE YOU ! < <<<<

Well, must get back to Drum Teaching & BEING PHAT & FUNKY!

Peace & Hero~Love from Daddy Funk & the Panther KitteN,

***<<<<< SiMoN the FuNk >>>>>***
