horrible title.
In all honesty I am amazed that Sly still lives. If he's making the money he's due now, then bless him.

Sure, agreed. But a movie about his last 10 yrs as a crack addic trying to get paid sounds like a p grim one

Uh yeah. I don’t really have a lot of desire to gawk at Sly in his present state.

Posting this interview as a tribute to Dr. Morbius since the portrait picture you usually see of him was taken by the interviewee:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gbUGS8sots

Newmark kills it on “in time.” What a groove

I'd say Fresh is his second-best record.
It appears that the documentary mentioned two and a half years ago is still unreleased. It's amazing that George Clinton seems to have been the only person in the last 40 years to bring anything to completion with Sly, who is also just about the only person in Clinton's memoirs who receives a vivid portrait. Clinton spends a lot more time in his book talking about ideas than other people.

not trying to be aggressive or argumentative here, but i thought that was the generally accepted consensus? riot and fresh the firm 1 + 2, with the #3 spot *usually* going to stand, but even that was never as firm a lock as the top two.
"skin i'm in" popped up yesterday while shuffling my ipod and, MAN YES, calstars! newmark just owns the whole album and rusty allen is right there with him. just some super fat, warm grooves all over that album. very dope.

Yeah. I don’t want to disparage Ericco though, he is fantastic on the earlier stuff, full of groove and space. I guess Sly could pick ‘em

I guess I'm remembering the Rolling Stone Top 100 1967 to 1987 list, which contained BOTH Stand and Greatest Hits, despite the latter record containing about 90% of what people want to hear on the former.

Fresh > Riot > [if we can't choose the classic pre-Riot Greatest Hits] Dance To The Music (the medley is just sublime, some of the most exciting music comitted to tape, and as great as Stand! is, Sex Machine and the long, turgid Don't Call Me ****** are hard skips for me)

And I really love large chunks of Small Talk, High On You and Back On The Right Track
― burnt hombre (stevie), Monday, 12 July 2021 08:16 (two years ago) link
Relistening to Sex Machine now and hush my mouth, it is a jam. Stll think Dance To The Music is the stronger album, though.

Fresh > Riot
correct

Fresh is great, but Riot is the greatest album of all time

I was at a yard party last weekend where the hosts were spinning Greatest Hits and I told my friend it seemed at the time, on that sultry summer day, to be the best record ever.

Fantastic news... Summer Of Soul is just brilliant, one of the best music documentaries I've ever seen.

Whenever they knew Sly was gonna miss a gig they should have sent that dude out there and let the chips fall...
