Re: RIP Sly Stone
Back in the day when I was a sorority chick at Univ of Washington me and my posse would hop onto the dining room tables and sing and dance to Sly. It was epic!
Well, then

What happened to you?
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Re: RIP Sly Stone
Should this be in the political lounge? Did you grow up in the 70s and have fun? Does music define you? I like classical, funk, jazz, country, etc. Just curious.

Re: RIP Sly Stone
I liked Sly. He was a great entertaininer, not just musician. Always put on a fun performance and seemed to love what he did.
..what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms.

Re: RIP Sly Stone
Two friends said it was the best concert they had ever seen. Philadelphia. The Spectrum, September of 1971.
His music is in regular rotation on my playlists.
