Why must I feel like that? Why must I chase the cat? Nothin but the dog in me...
I agree, funk definitely makes you feel good. Some of the most laid back people you will ever meet are clones of the funk. I'll put in a plug for WeFunk radio out of Montreal. You can listen 24/7 on their stream at

Funk IS its own reward.
