Related: About this forumPetiton Aims to Have Outkast Carved Onto Stone Mountain
http://atlanta.suntimes.com/atl-news/7/78/186605/outkast-stone-mountainThe sculpture, carved into the side of the mountain, depicts Confederate war heroes Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson.
Atlantas NAACP chapter and others want to see it sand-blasted off, while the monuments supporters see no reason for it to come down.
Thats where a third party came in.
One redditor started a petition to get Outkast etched on the mountaingiving an all new meaning to 2 Dope Boyz In a Cadillac.
He writes, By no means do we wish to erase or destroy the current carving, which, regardless of its context, is an impressive and historic work of art. We simply wish to add new carvings, of Atlanta hip-hop duo Outkast, to the mountainside.

Now putting George Clinton and the Mothership up there, I could get behind that.

(20,176 posts)2. What connection does George Clinton specifically have to GA?
The Outkast suggestion is because they're from Atlanta.

(80,708 posts)3. Okay, fine. Fair enough.
I got that..... once I read the article.
I still like P-Funk's music better, though.
