You have to love this brilliant article from MTV.com about Sly Stones appearance at the Grammys last night. Who Exactly Was That Weird Guy With The Mohawk At The Grammys? I think my favorite line might have to be this one....
A young person today might know his songs only from oldies radio or the long-running Toyota commercial that used his 1969 anti-racist hit "Everyday People"
And this one is a close second, just for the inclusion of the last name in the sentence...
His band's contribution to funk music is every bit as enduring as James Brown's, and Parliament-Funkadelic, Rick James, Prince, D'Angelo and Jermaine Dupri.
Despite how pandering the first few paragraphs are the article does do a good job in giving in giving a quick course in Sly 101.
