The legendary Sly Stone, 82.

Dance to the Music was a sort of precursor to Come All Ye, in a way.

Sad news. Another voice of my youth.
I ‘enjoyed’ the Cropredy set  but (probably because I was a speech and language therapist) I found his voice very hard to listen to because of its quality.
Rest well and thank you for the legacy of music.

Complex and creative man. I read a wonderful biography about him which explored his mental problems and how Landy managed to treat him and help him begin to regain something of a normal life. I have heard that many people judge Landy's involvement very negatively as they believe he was controlled by Landy to an unhealthy extent. However I wonder if Brian would have survived long without Landy's intervention. I need to read more.


There's also the 'should Brian have still been going on stage when he was clearly so fragile' debate. No clear cut answers to that one either. Very often life is far from black and white.

Very sad (if not totally unexpected).

"All so probable" is potentially the keystone to the whole ball of wax.


Such a great line.

Honestly, while I liked Big Star from the first listen, I've grown evermore fond of them as time has passed. Nostalgia for being 13 out in the streets certainly plays a part, but its also for the Replacements, REM, Let's Active and the whole used record store culture that served it all. And once "I got" Third, there was turning back.


Speaking of the third record, this is well worth a watch...

Thanks for sharing, Jules.  An excellent study.  "All so probable" is potentially the keystone to the whole ball of wax.

Gutted. He was indeed a legend and about my favourite of all the Cropredy guests. R.I.P. Sad
