Rest In Peace

[82_VOL_83]

These two would argue about what 2+ 2 equals.

2+2=5 for exceptionally large values of 2.

Sly Stone

 

[YankeeVol]

They murdered his dog and left it on the front porch before shooting him.
They were moving to get away from that ficktard.

Close enough to a hate crime for me.

The "dog skull" is likely the one he himself killed from the fire that he himself started* (intentionally or not).

*there is a quote that says he left a propane heater on

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Sly was at Woodstock 1969. There have been several passing the last few years. David Crosby. Melanie. David Sanborn. Robbie Robertson. Leslie West. John Till. Phil Lesh.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Sly was older than Boomers.

"Everyday People"

Sometimes I'm right and I can be wrong
My own beliefs are in my song
The butcher, the banker, the drummer and then
Makes no difference what group I'm in
I am everyday people, yeah, yeah

There is a blue one
Who can't accept the green one
For living with a fat one
Trying to be a skinny one
Different strokes
For different folks

And so on and so on
And scooby dooby dooby
Oh sha sha
We got to live together

I am no better and neither are you
We are the same, whatever we do
You love me, you hate me, you know me and then
You can't figure out the bag I'm in
I am everyday people, yeah yeah

There is a long hair
That doesn't like the short hair
For being such a rich one
That will not help the poor one
Different strokes
For different folks

And so on and so on
And scooby dooby dooby
Oh sha sha
We got to live together

There is a yellow one
That won't accept the black one
That won't accept the red one
That won't accept the white one
Different strokes
For different folks

And so on and so on
And scooby dooby dooby
Oh sha sha
I am everyday people

Rest In Peace Gardener Scott. My father in-law. One of the best damn men I ever knew. Marine, Pastor, and Parole Officer. Friend, brother, and second dad. I was privlaged to genuinely love both my in-laws. You don't go looking for in-laws when your dating. I just lucked into that. Please pray for my son. He was very close and this is the first death he has had to experience. They were pals.

Sorry to hear that buddy.

During covid I was told I had a 100% chance to be dead in 48 hours and to make any last calls I needed to make. The pulmonologist had every reason to think that. (but maybe underestimated my stubborness.) My father in law was told he had a 98% chance of success for this sugery, and I know the surgeon did all they could. Life is fickle though, as are projections.

We played this at my father’s visitation as part of a video montage. He was an even bigger fan.

Oh man. Can't imagine how emotional that was.

The song just hits straight to my soul, and honestly I'm not 100% sure I even know why.

 

[Tin Man]

Dang.

Paul McCartney once described it as the best song ever written.
