Sly's been AWOL from the music scene forever. There were rumors he was dead, but apparently he was just laying low. For good reason, it seems. He took a really bad turn with really bad drugs starting around '70, and from the looks of things, hasn't exactly conquered that demon. He looked a mess, and I felt sorry to see him like that. But...regardless, there's something magical about a reunion like that thats been such a long time coming. I dont usually watch award shows, but I was working on the web at the time, and parts of last night really blew me away. Great mix of old and new.
