Yes, #RIP the iconic #SlyStone who was the source of the term absconded by the actor of the same name: #FamilyStone . In full, it's "Sly and the Family Stone" whose music was in the closing credits of one of the Shrek films. Thank You Fallettin Me Be Mice Elf Again. #ShrekTheThird
Another influence of #SlyStone was evident after the release of a presently-forgotten song, "Everyday People", a line of which influenced the title of a popular sitcom. Sly's fans already know that I'm talking about "Diff'rent Strokes". Watchu talkin' 'bout, Willis?
...and I might as well post the lyrics to that #SlyStone classic because the knuckleheads in power today need to put this one on continuous loop. #EverydayPeople
"Sometimes I'm right, I can be wrong. My own beliefs are in my song. A butcher, a banker, a 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 the black one trying to be a skinny one Different strokes, for different folks! And so on, and so on, and scooby-dooby-doo. (oooh, sha sha!)
We've 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 who doesn't like the short hair for being such a rich one that will not help the poor one.
