While recalling his remarkable yet erratic life in music, Sly Stone admits he occasionally had to depend on the recollections of others because his own memory wasn't always reliable.
While summoning stories from his remarkable yet erratic life in music, Sly Stone admits he occasionally had to depend on the recollections of others because his own memory wasn't always reliable. At one point in his new memoir, Stone, now 80, remembers that during the hazy excesses of his 1970s rock stardom he briefly shared a Los Angeles mansion with a baboon that had the run of the place. He's just not sure where the primate came from. 'I forgot where I got him?' Stone muses.
He takes readers through the agonizing recording process of his 1971 classic 'There's a Riot Goin' On,' on which he says he 'sacrificed technique for feeling.' The album has an anguished tone, exemplified by the volatile funk of the single 'Luv N' Haight.' Meanwhile at concerts, fans never knew whether they'd get one of his famously ecstatic performances, or if Stone would bother showing up at all.
