Funk was never meant to be safe. Consider may of the great funk songs of our time. Do they strike you as speaking of a place devoid of danger?
Wild Cherry's "Play That Funky Music White Boy" It speaks from the transition from Rock and Roll to Funky Music. The lead singer even admits "it wasn't easy." Does that strike you as "safe?"
"Funkytown" talks of moving to a place with grooving and energy. It sounds like a zone hosting railroad tracks is exactly the prescription for that fever. It's the "more cowbell" for the funk zone.
"We Got The Fun" talks about grooving and partying. Partying, again, not a safe activity. In fact, you're not doing it right if it is safe. Back in my dancing days I would go to this bar in Buckhead imaginatively named BAR. The club was on two levels at had a set of stairs going from the upper to lower part of it. Sometimes, I would "party" and to get more to drink I would go to the lower bar, and would inadvertently miss a stair. I fell on the stairs twice. But it was an acceptable part of the partying experience.
If you want safe, maybe go to the "Safety Zone" where you can do the "Safety Dance."
Thank you, also just so you know we are on the same page. I love "The Big Lebowski" even include "The Man in Me" as part of my regular karaoke rotation.
What the? I live in SB for ten years and I've never heard of the Funk Zone. Maybe it's a newish thing? I moved from there to the North Bay in late 2006.
You know, I was hoping an SB local would chime in. I think the Funk Zone is new(ish). I got the sense that it was a redevelopment project for some of the area between the ocean and the railroad station. Saw lots of buildings that used to be warehouses and other light industry that some hipster thought, "yes, that's where I'm putting my tasting room and that's where we need an artisanal pizza parlor!"

Jimmy, this comment is solid gold! 🕺

That’s a very solid karaoke selection!
Along with some Creedance, man!
Always!
Did you see more Boat Rat Matt campaign signs? Were they all hand-painted?!
I saw about a half-dozen signs, all painted by hand.
Incredible. The dedication.
It's very impressive. Not sure it's wise as far as campaigns go, but it's impressive.
