Ass-kicking Sly and the Family Stone performance from ABC’s “Music Scene” taped in 1969. They’ll be playing at the Coachella Festival this weekend and are one of the acts I am most excited about seeing. There was a year in the mid-80s where practically ALL I listened to were Sly, Alice Cooper, Nick Cave and Herb Alpert! (It made me the man I am today…). I’ve been listening to the music of Sylvester Stewart a lot again lately, too. The man is a bona fide musical genius. He was touched by the gods back then and I hope his muse returns for the big Coachella outing.
