…..And he was homeless for years…..he founded a group of musicians…..Black, White and female back in 1966-67…..during a time when riots, assassinations, communes and love-ins was the norm…..his music was a combination of….frantic horns, rapid-fire guitar and locomotive rhythms…..while mixing in jazz, psychedelic rock, doo-wop, soul….and early grooves of funk…..with Larry Graham on bass….his brother Freddie on guitar….his sister Rose on vocals….Cynthia Robinson and Jerry Martini were the horn section….and Greg Errico played drums…..and let’s not forget…..the band killed it at Woodstock…..the group released five top 10 singles…..three of them going #1…..and sold over three million albums…..in 2025 Questlove released the documentary “Sly Lives”…..even George Clinton…..the founder of Parliament-Funkadelic was a Sly disciple…..Prince, Rick James are among the many performers who were influenced by Sly…..by the early 70’s Sly started his downward descent…..from which he never recovered…..his record company wanted more hits….the Black Panther Party wanted him to kick out the White band members…..and once he moved from the Bay Area to LA…..cocaine took over his life and he became really unpredictable……he became notorious for being late to concerts or not showing up at all…..(yeah, I remember waiting 3 hours for his ass to hit the stage)…..while leaving band members waiting backstage for hours wondering whether he was going to show up or not…..I think in the song….. “Thank You (falettinme Be Mice Elf Again)…..he was sending us a message in regard to his state of mind…. “Dying young is hard to take….selling out is harder”……he was also one of the first musicians to use a drum machine….one of my favorite lines from Sly is this….. “Don’t hate the Black…. “Don’t hate the White….if you get bitten….just hate the bite”…..rest well Sly…..thank you for the music you shared with us….and one more thing my brother…..you said it years ago….because in Los Angeles……there is…. “A Riot Goin’ on!”
DOZENS OF PEOPLE, SOME SEDATED AND WITH FEET TIED, RESCUED FROM “HOUSES OF HORRORS” IN BULGARIA……Before I begin to tell you about this disgusting and sadistic treatment of people….international organizations often criticize the poor state of health facilities in Bulgaria….the poorest country in the European Union…..and the lack of facilities for older people…..has led to the development of illegal centers…..dozens of people were rescued from two illegal care homes….where they were subjected to brutal mistreatment…..officials described how victims were beaten, bound and sedated.….75 people were removed from facilities…..which the owners had converted into so-called health centers….by offering “rooms for rent” for a little more than 400 euros a month…..Justice Minister Georgy Georgiev described the places as houses or horror…..the regional prosecutor’s office in the town of Stara Zagora said five people had been arrested…..and an investigation had begun into kidnapping, violence and negligence….. one woman had not left the center for four years…..another resident who tried to flee….was caught, beaten and left unconscious…..many of those rescued had their feet tied and were sedated and were locked in rooms…..with the window handles removed and cut off from the outside world…..inspections of nursing homes and hospices are underway to combat property fraud…..targeting vulnerable individuals…..these revelations are linked to ongoing investigations into property mafia schemes involving helpless people…..the lack of facilities for older people has led to the development of illegal centers….in November 2021….nine older people died in a fire at a nursing home near Varna….and four others died in a similar accident in 2022…..at another facility in the same region.
NINE DEAD IN AUSTRIA SCHOOL SHOOTING, INCLUDING THE SUSPECT…..It seems like America’s favorite pastime sport…..is coming to Europe…..this shooting took place in the Austrian city of Graz…..and beautiful city by the way…..students and teachers are believed to be among the dead at the Dreierschützengasse High School…..and the gunman decided to kill himself also…..who was a student at the school….the polizei are trying to figure out the students real motive for carrying out this action….but like everyone else….they’ll never know his true reason…..because he’s dead…..UPDATE: They’re saying it was a 21-year-old former student who shot up the school…..and 10 people died…..I also read the U.S. held a moment in silence for those killed….ain’t that a bitch.
TRAVEL ADVISORY WARNINGS LIST…..Continues to grow….Canada, Germany, England, Finland, Netherlands, France, Belgium, and now Portugal have issued them when it comes to traveling to America….and I don’t blame them…..I don’t feel too safe flying home either….if the world wants to give The New Republic of America a wake-up call…..boycott the next FIFA World Cup…..all qualifying teams should refuse to play games in the states…..but will be willing to play in Canada and Mexico…..and if the idiots isn’t in prison by then…..boycott the 2028 Olympics…..do you have any idea how much money the country would lose?…..they’re telling people sure, you can come and attend the games….but don’t be surprised if we might arrest you at the boarders…..and jail you.
THE NEW REPUBLIC of AMERICA…..So far in LA….400+ arrests have been made….and more than over 600+ nonlethal rubber bullet rounds have been fired…..and the LAPD said….it can handle the protests…..two things here….a nonlethal round becomes lethal….when an officer decides to shoot someone in the face…and the other….I hope you can handle the protesters….because when or if they decide to change the game….you might have to change your nonlethal rounds…..because in The New Republic of America…..protesters also have guns…..nice to know you have everything under control by detaining and arresting a CNN correspondent and his camera crew…..and dozens of journalists have been targeted, detained and shot at by the police…..while covering the LA protests……there are protest all across the Republic now….Austin, Texas protesters are being gassed, explosions are going off and the city is one big cluster….k…..and yep, the Governor will deploy the National Guard……cities are erupting against ICE actions being taken against them all over the Republic…..they’re being called “No King” rallies…..sooner or later…..the ones you’re sending to quell the protests…..are going to wake up…..wouldn’t it be nice if we could put all of their family members on the frontline of the protests going on….I’d love to see if they would shoot rubber bullets at them….and…. I have no problem with the Mexican flag being waved……but you do….. “If you got millions of illegals and you don’t know where they’re coming from….they’re waving flags from foreign countries and assaulting police officers and laws”….that’s a quote from that party drunk….Pete Hegseth….so Peetey…..if you have a problem with people waving flags from other countries…..why aren’t you storming Irish and Italian communities?
