1. Dancing in the kitchen as you make supper music.

2. Ed Sullivan's Rock and Roll Classics

had them on 2 weeks ago and they played "Dance To The Music". Sly could do it all...play instruments, sing, dance, write, produce, etc. What a talent!!

3. He was a disk jockey in Cleveland when I was in high school. He was good at that, though ...

... it's a shame he got buried in the "snow". He still performs.

First Maggot Brain
Then the Isleys

7. Oh yeah mine too

5. Another bright career ruined by drugs.

There must be a hundred talented people who followed that path. Too sad.

8. Most artists have that little bit too close to the edge about them. Sometimes one does drugs ...

... and then the drugs use them. There's that little bit of madness that sets off the beauty of the art. Sometimes that madness comes from drugs.

9. As an artist I must agree.

Cyndi Lauper has been saying she was a little bit different from everyone else and that is a GOOD thing. I agree. I would never want to conform. I am an artist and we are aware that there are good and bad things that come with the "artistic personality".

10. Sometimes it is a cursed blessing. A gift that takes its own price.

11. Well stated!
