important part in telling our story. we talk about the church and music coming from the church, one thing i didn t realize even though i loved his music and thought he was crazy and out of his mind was sly. what s weird about the sly and family stone performance, what s so revelatory about it is this is the first time that black america is seeing a band wear their street clothes. it s like the temptations. because even before them, motown made sure that all of his artists crossed his t s, dotted has i s, spoke proper english, crossed their legs when doing interviews, shook hands, curtesy, bow, all of those things. you watch david roughin, it s the middle of august, and david has on a wool tuxedo to the detriment of his own comfort. he has to be professional. he was taught, you have to be professional first and not yourself. and sly s whole thing is i m
that s pretty good in your own party when you re new and doesn t have 100% name i.d. it s plummeted to be one of the biggest drops in recent era of anyone in any party for any reason to 8%. i think she did that to herself. i mean, she really came to national attention when she voted against the minimum wage, which she used to support. she did it wearing her jaunty outfit doing a little curtesy in the well and giving a big thumbs down. she wanted that negative attention. she wanted attention. she s gotten positive attention from republicans. they lined up to shake her hand when she killed voting rights by not changing senate rules. she likes that attention. she likes the money. i don t think it matters to her what the activists, the people that i know that gave her money, who walked for her, they are
