Man, when you find out, let a brother know... Internet rumors tell of an oft-depressed Sylvester Stewart wanting simply to be left alone and not reminded of his former glory.

This passage from "In Time" always makes me sad, when I think about his giving up:

... i switched from coke to pep and i'm a connoisseur -- 'bout time ...

'cause there's a method in the madness of the thinking -- in time - oh we oughta
it seems the best of all the sadness is is a sinkin' -- in time - in time muddy water
and there's a wreck yard in the mind of a quitter -- in time -- gonna git bitter
he don't give a heck or is he blind and makin' litter -- 'bout time -- gonna need a babysitter ...


It's almost prophetic. Dang. cry

He's like the 8th or 9th wonder now? Maybe the Funk Family Affair will hint at his whereabouts at the Stone Soul Picnic next week. It would be nice, and if it does happen, I'll pass the word.

I read an article about a guy who met Sly and went to his house.
Apparently he let him listen to his music, which he has never stopped making, and it was great!
Maybe someday he (or his music, at least) will be back.

Even sadder is listening to Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin) and then Thank You For Talkin' To Me Africa.
To me that says it all (even with the cool guitar parts). disbelief

But then I check out Loose Booty and i'm happy again. dancing jig
