  Rosie Stone's hell on earth - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM
The saga began in 1992 when Rosemarie and her prominent husband, Professor Carl Stone, known in the academic community for his work as a political scientist and for pioneering the systematic study of voting behaviour in Jamaica were diagnosed with the disease.
It was when he was required to "give a list" of the names of ladies with whom he had slept to the health authorities after his diagnosis that her suspicions were confirmed and, she says, "it was hell on earth".
Noting that it has been 14 years since her husband died, Stone says while she is not sure if the length of her life can be attributed to "medicine, genetics, sheer luck, or her psychological makeup", she is not prepared to let it run out before she has done all she needs to do.

 Sly Stone/Graham Central Station
But Stone's social satires ("Plastic Jim"), counter-culture parodies ("Jane Is A Groupee"), and random silliness ("Chicken"; "I'm An Animal") all sound childish, clumsy, and conventional compared to Zappa's contemporary records, even though they point the way to the band's full-blown acid-funk formula on the next record.
Stone pulls off some amazing things here: the opening "In Time" is slow, relentlessly syncopated and incredibly funky; "Babies Making Babies" is sorrowful, soul-searching and incredibly funky; "If You Want Me To Stay" is popwise, melodic and still incredibly funky.
Stone seems to have run out of new ideas by this record; the title song (with a great bass line by Bobby Vega), "Crossword Puzzle" and "Who Do You Love?" are effective, but conceptually they're basically reruns.

 Sly & The Family Stone - TRUNK LTD Official Store
Sly and the Family Stone harnessed all of the disparate musical and social trends of the late '60s, creating a wild, brilliant fusion of soul, rock, RandB, psychedelia, and funk that broke boundaries down without a second thought.
Before Stone, very few soul and RandB groups delved into political and social commentary; after him, it became a tradition in soul, funk, and hip-hop.
Stone appeared on Jesse Johnson's 1986 RandB hit "Crazay." The following year, he dueted with Martha Davis on "Love and Affection" for the Soul Man soundtrack; he also he recorded "Eek-a-Bo-Static," a single that didn't chart.

The creative core of Sly and the Family Stone, Texas-native Sylvester Stewart, developed an impressive music business resume in Sam Francisco during the mid-1960s, excelling as a disc jockey (KSOL, KDIA), songwriter, and record producer for the likes of Beau Brummels, Bobby Freeman, and the Mojo Men with Autumn Records.
The uplifting, anthem-like quality of Sly and the Family Stone’s early work gave way to a decidedly more negative, militant tone in There’s A Riot Goin’ On; however, the uniformly high quality of Sly’s musical ideas and production work made it the most successful—artistically and commercially—of his albums.

In a chatty tone, Stone describes Rosie's growing-up years, punctuated by the death of her mother when Rosie was 10; the influence neighbors and teachers had on Rosie's life; her striving to make it as a comedian; and movie and television success.
Kids will be particularly interested in how O'Donnell used the tragedy of her childhood to make a better life for other kids through her charities and, on a smaller scale, by her adoption of her three children.
In fact, this may be a great book for some but, the fact that I cannot stomach three continous seconds of anything that has to do with Rosie O'donnell pretty much makes this a no-go for me. I may not like this book, but that doesn't mean your or your child will not.

Sly and the Family Stone came together late in 1966, with keyboardist/vocalist Stone recruiting family members: his sister Rose (keyboards, vocals), brother Freddie Stone (guitar) and cousin Larry Graham (bass).
The group connected with the rising counterculture by means of songs that addressed issues of personal pride and liberation in the context of driving, insistent and sunny-tempered music that fused rock and soul, creating a template for Seventies funk.
A brilliant artist even under duress, Stone was largely responsible for the bleak, cryptic but undeniably powerful There's a Riot Goin' On (1971), which captured the souring mood of the country no less than the sound of his own ship going down.
