Video: Sly Stone Interview
About to lift off for another brilliant evening at BlueNoteRecordsFestival in Ghent. Wednesday was very nice, almost succeeded in convincing Shadow to do an interview, but the tour schedule was just too damn tight, too bad.
Thusfar I’ve only managed to properly arrange one interview, the rest of the bunch seems to be in superstarstatus. Which I can only respect.
However, I will still be knocking on management’s doors of the likes of Zap Mama, Guru and Sly Stone. Although chances to interview that last one are extremely small, but then again same went for Roy Ayers last year, when numerous attempts of setting up a meeting ended up in a nice long chat with Roy, about his sneakers, amongst many other topics - you’ll get the whole interview in one of the future podcasts, don’t you worry about that!
Anyway, I’m all into Sly & the Family Stone nowadays. Particularly this tune called “Babies making babies”, as featured on one of my favourite mixtapes, by Rob Swift.
And on that note, I’ll let Sly (on the photo to the right) himself do the rest of the talking. Read the Vanity Fair story on where he’s at nowadays, Or let’s go back, way back, back into the time:
There’s more Sly, here’s the man, the myth, living the life, basically:

The guy on the bike looks smart and the Sly Stone interview looks quite hold and when did he give this interview.
