I was listening to a little Sly and the Family Stone, and I decided to google him to see if there was any recent news about him; I've been dreaming of a comeback for almost 20 years now. I found out that he had been scheduled to perform at the 2010 Coachella Music Festival, and I was excited! I looked up the festival, and he was, indeed on the lineup. Unfortunately, next thing I found out was how pathetic his reappearance was; he was three hours late showing up, and when he did show up onstage, he didn't sing more than a couple of bars-- he was just rolling around the stage on an office chair, rambling about something-or-other, and ranting about how people stole his money. I would have been furious styles if I had spent my money to go to that thing (and I might have, had I had time off work and known about it before the fact). I'm really mad at him, for allowing his fans to get their hopes up, and then crushing their hearts like that.
I'm kind of double-minded about posting this YouTube clip, because it's so shameful, but anyway...
Look at the deflated looks on the faces of the original Family Stone members. They might have been looking forward to this reunion performance, then this happens. I feel so bad for them.

I still have hopes for him, though.
