Summary
Poet and musician (ex Silver Jews) Chris Stroffolino comes on to talk about the life and work of Sylvester “Sly” Stone as we try to trace parallels of his time to our current social climate - from his optimistic, utopian Family Stone days to his dark masterpiece “There’s a Riot Going On” through his withdrawal into disenchantment and drugs + stagflation, the dawn of hope, and more. Also David Berman tales, Shakespeare, Ishmael Reed, teaching, Oakland, CA, overcoming disabilities, the impossible weight of Sly’s position on the vanguard, AI, Walk Hard: A Dewy Cox story, and more.
