    Sly and the Family Stone were way ahead of their time. My brother saw them at Madison Square Garden, and he told me Sly played maybe 3 songs and walked out. The band jammed, but he didn't? He told me it was still a good show.

    After the Woodstock movie came out sly was poised to be the biggest star of all, he was all that everybody talked
    about, but he couldn't hold back the night and darkness and fell a flame of his own making. Some people just can't
    handle being famous. His vision was pure but he let the devil get on top.

    Im reading Sly’s recent memoir and here is what he says about these shows: “Some programs, like Midnight Special, got too frantic, with people in your sight line scurrying and pointing. Were they pointing at me? And if not, was I supposed to look? It was hard to concentrate on anything and I was required to get into the music correctly.”

      I wouldn't call it a waste. We have his art, where is yours? We have his records, his concerts that have been captured on disc and tapes to be preserved. A waste would be to never get it out to share with humanity.

      @flame-sky7148 My comment wasn't made with the intention of instigating an argument, but to point out that if drugs could do what they did to Sly, then they could do it to anyone. So, if you're hell bent on exchanging crude remarks with someone, then you'd be much better served by looking elsewhere. I've been a fan of Sly since 1969, and have had the good fortune of seeing him before the drugs, the music industry and crooked management screwed him out of his publishing rights and left him broke, so I don't need a lecture from you or anyone else. Peace. ✌☮

      @flame-sky7148 The music that Sly still had inside himself, but never recorded, due to the factors I cited in my last comment, were indeed a waste of his talent, and we're all the losers for it, including Sly himself. And BTW, I can attest to the fact that drugs were rampant everywhere back then, and not only in the music industry.✌☮
