Sly Stone: A Reassessment

Sorry, gang. The riot's over. Uh, but you can stay for the after party, even though some of you might claim it's a wake. The last Sly single before the great lull was "Thank-you etc.", a story about, well, fighting the people you have to fight with and escaping with your life and all of the songs the group had recorded and, well, the period that Sly and the Family Stone blossomed in: Youth and Truth are making love Dig it for a start Dyin' young is hard to take Copping out is harder.

THERE'S A RIOT GOI' ON SLY & THE FAMILY STONE EPIC

Sorry, gang. The riot's over. Uh, but you can stay for the after party, even though some of you might claim it's a wake.

The last Sly single before the great lull was �Thank-you etc.�, a story about, well, fighting the people you have to fight with and escaping with your life and all of the songs the group had recorded and, well, the period that Sly and the Family Stone blossomed in: Youth and Truth are making love Dig it for a start Dyin� young is hard to take Copping out is harder.

It�s here again on the new album: THANK YOU FOR TALKIN� TO ME AFRICA. It�s slowed down to the point of being dragged out. Sly and the Family dragging through their memories and wondering as they go along — is this for real?
