I aimed for funk on this episode. I didn't always hit it, but I aimed for it. It's important that I aim for funk every once in a while. It's like spring cleaning, or renewing one's driver's license. It's a corrective or restorative measure. Maybe it's closer in concept to those full-body cleanses some people do. I wouldn't presume, though. At any rate, it's a good show.
