Following Sly Stone's plans for an all-albino musical aggregation led to this:
Sly Stone, 70, revealed that he is making a comeback with a new band — made up of albino musicians (albinism is a genetic condition that causes a lack of pigment in the hair, skin and eyes). It’s no surprise that he would pick such an eclectic band since Sly and the Family Stone was the first American band to be multiracial and multigendered. However, his reason for wanting an all-albino band is odd and objectifying.

I grew up in Marin. In addition to Buddy Miles, Sammy Hagar, the Grateful Dead, Journey, Airplane, Starship, Janis and a bunch more I'd have to be sober to remember (including Marshall J), Sly Stone's house was just up the road from where I grew up, and we used to run into him at the grocery store, called, swear to gawd "Roger Wilco" and, of course, the A&W on Novato Blvd...
It's all a terrible mistake. Sly really wanted to collaborate with The Albion Band, but he's a little bit dyslexic.
