“Sly Stone is an infinitely fascinating character and musician. His music will be around forever.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eQwestloveu0026#39;s obsession with Sly being a black genius is grating and heu0026#39;s projecting too much of his own outlooks instead of trying to find out and express just what Sly Stoneu0026#39;s outlook was/is.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMost of the musicians interviewed in the doc, do not hold a candle to Slyu0026#39;s talent or achievements, so their opinions donu0026#39;t hold much weight.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe only interviews that were interesting were his band mates. And how could they not a find any of his contemporaries? How could they basically ignored his discography after Fresh? Or the quirky side projects he did.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis documentary had too much of a personal agenda that wasnu0026#39;t about Sly Stone. Still, the man was just that interesting that he shines through despite the negative issues.”
