LEGEND SLY STONE DIES BROKE @BITCHBACK


Reference: nypost.com

If not for Sly Stone, there would be no funk.

Not really.

When he and The Family Stone first came out with “Dance To The Music”, it was something the world had never seen before.

Nor seen.


All those Afros and Black People and White People, men, women and Everyday People.

Larry Graham on Bass guitar.

It was a Family Affair.


There were horns.

BIG BRASSY BALLSY horns.

Strange breaks.

Beat changes.

A tribute to Doo Wop.

And we danced like we didn’t give a damn.

Sly wore white jump suits with tassels before Elvis.

He moved like a cross James Brown, Superfly and Jimi Hendrix.

He was some weird cat in a Black man’s skin.

And he knew how to create great NEW music.

He and the Family Stone came with hit-after-hit.

Many of these have been copied over the years – note-for-note.

And now he’s dead.

Dead and broke.

It’s not the way, living legends are meant to go.

Who was there to help him?

Where is the dignity he so rightly and richly deserved?

It’s a truly fucked up world and it just got more fucked up.

Thanks for the music, man.

The new way of looking at horse racing

The world of entertainment today is vast, it cannot be defined, it is intertwined and has become one. One cannot, for example, have music without fashion- and vice versa. Rock Stars, supermodels, actors and actresses and sports heroes have formed Mutual Admiration Societies.

 

On www.fasttrack.hk, you will see Who’s In, Who’s Out, What’s Hot and What’s Not- in Hong Kong and the rest of the world- in English and Chinese. It’s all ballsy stuff that breaks new ground and tells it like it is. The gloves are off. 

Fast Track is the authority and driving force to steer you along the edgy road to this new world of entertainment.. Of course, there will be our opinions- off-the-wall, to-the-point and no waffle.

 

More important to us is what you think. Really think. Agree, disagree, or tell us to take a hike. As long as it’s a hike on the fast track of life, it doesn’t matter.
