Multiple debts owed. Forever grateful to Sly Stone for being kind enough to stop by this planet while gliding on his way to immortality. One of the most effortlessly cool people who’s ever lived. Music got even more interesting once he arrived — a true original.

If you’re unfamiliar with Sly, you can begin to rectify this by checking out the recent documentary directed by Questlove, called SLY LIVES (AKA THE BURDEN OF BLACK GENIUS) [2025].
