...experimental relationship with funk music. This relationship reached its peak in 1973 with the album “Headhunters,” whose opener (“Chameleon”) and funk version of an earlier Hancock track (“Watermelon Man”) influenced R&B and hip hop artists for decades to come.

The only difference is that Hillary Clinton was hip to it 36 years ago and she's a victim of it today. This film is about coming full circle, and like all such tales, it is thick with poignancy. After 10 straight losses in caucuses and primaries from Maryland to Hawaii - including the Feb. 19 whupping in Wisconsin - Clinton...
