It's kind of awesome tbh that #Sly_Stone timed his death so that jamming to "Everyday People" becomes an act of radical protest.
Ok, I'm going to say the same thing I said about #Sly_Stone, which is that I'm not saying that #ICE, the #National_Guard, the #Marines, and the #LAPD collectively killed #Brian_Wilson through psychic violence. . .but I'm not NOT saying that, and could you blame me if I did?
With #Sly_Stone passing on in the middle of ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ month, I'd remiss not to share one of his slightly less well known classics, which many of my generation were actually first exposed to via the #Beastie_Boys.

Per his documentary, #Paul_Reubens was finishing hs and going off to CalArts during the same period Sly's hits with the Family Stone would have been taking the world by storm.
