I'm pretty sure Maggot Brain has nothing to do with Jimi Hendrix. Fairly certain George told Eddie to play as if his mom had just died.
If you like Maggot Brain you'll love "Pray My Soul" by Axiom Funk.
Eddie put his mom down as the song writer so she would get the royalties. It's Bernie Worrell.. (keyboardist from the parliment funkadelic, talking heads etc) Eddie, and Bootsy... produced by Bill Laswell. Not many people know it exists... Laswell is a genius.
