It was a pleasure speaking with Joseph Patel about the extraordinary Sly Lives! doc - one of the most thrilling and insightful docs of recent years.

For 'Sly Lives,' Questlove asked artists 'the most frightening question.' Watch him discuss that in our Pass the Remote panel about the film.

“My first memory in life is Sly Stone.” Thank you to filmmaker/EP Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson & producer Joseph Patel for an excellent Q&A after our sold out free screening of SLY LIVES! (AKA THE BURDEN OF BLACK GENIUS) (2025) over the weekend during ‘This Is Not a Fiction.’

Saw this fantastic documentary today, and, like everything my boy @jazzbeezy.bsky.social touches, it's marvelous. He produced it, and Questlove directed, just like "Summer of Soul." Thanks for the sweet shoutout, Jazzbo. Love you always. You too, Exo and Kimson. XO

This new Sly Stone documentary is so much more than a piece of music history or a biographical portrait of a musical icon. Watch it. It's so in touch with what's going on in the US and the world right now. Sly Lives! (aka the burden of Black genius)

Real Genius a Top 10 All Time movie for me. RIP Val Kilmer 🤲🏽

"Sly Lives! has a not dissimilar mission, because Hall of Fame or no Hall of Fame, the man born Sylvester Stewart in 1943 has all but outlived what legend he had, and as Thompson sets out to prove, that’s not right." Robert Christgau — 'Making Sly Fresh Again':

Shouts to the homie and fellow designer @fwmj.bsky.social who is apparently now a nemesis of a billionaire w/ a fragile ego over a t-shirt design he made in 2017. Legit blacklisted. gothamist.com/news/madison...

Remember: every time you read about a new Broadway box office record, it’s not because they added more seats to a theatre. It’s because the prices are higher than before.

I truly cannot believe we are only 2 months into this shit.

Steve Kerr needs to start doing layup drills in practice

Real cool to see Dustin Nguyen in Dope Thief.

for the one millionth time, the dept of education just monitors access to education. civil rights, title ix, disabilities, making sure everybody gets a fair opportunity. this is not about curriculum. states design those standards. this is an attack on the idea of fairness in education.

Adolescence on Netflix is as good as everyone says it is. And technically mind-blowing how it's shot.

@seejanemarie.bsky.social you’re SO generous with your time in this interview - every person who wants to work in audio documentation should read this! (And many who already do, should!!) www.descript.com/blog/article...

GP2 can never take off that mask

This story is bananas. deadline.com/2025/03/47-r...

There’s this muppet on TikTok who transcribes and then scats incredibly difficult jazz solos so well and I could not possibly love a thing more

Bad turnovers, missed free throws, Steph brain lock, Brick city. Terrible loss for the Dubs.

Our campaign raised nearly $845,000 this filing period. We did it from 10,988 individual donors across almost every NYC zip code. And with $500,000+ matching eligible, we expect another $4+ million next month. We have the movement, the momentum and the money to win.

I don't want to be a broken record here, but the senate had an opportunity to try to force the GOP to negotiate on stuff like this, and they threw it away instantly, with absolutely no effort to apply leverage at all. because they were afraid the GOP might criticize them.

Little Simz "point and kill" is an excellent theme song for Dope Thief

My first exposure to Sly & the Family Stones was taking the greatest hits vinyl album out of my town library as a jr. high schooler. Finally caught @questlove.bsky.social's "Sly Lives" docu. So good, as is this @sharonwaxman.bsky.social @thewrap.com intvu w/ Questlove & producer Jospeh Patel.

ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed. No one knows why he was detained.

Wrote about the new Sly Stone documentary, especially the clip of him in 1970 on the Dick Cavett Show. "Both audience and interviewer openly laugh...as though it’s all just the ramblings of a crazy man on drugs. But I found it insightful, and thought-provoking." www.newstatesman.com/culture/film...

Um...Tracey Thorn (THE Tracey Thorn) wrote about our Sly documentary. Wow. Hi, @traceythorn.bsky.social - I remember you loved Summer of Soul as well. Thank you! www.newstatesman.com/culture/film...

Imagine being in high school in NYC in 1990 and traveling to Union Sq to see some other kids from Queens perform some songs you REALLY like. You're super hype. And surprise! Now you're exponentially more excited than before bc you've noticed the video camera capturing it all.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

I love Hollywood Plays Itself movies and shows. Can't wait for this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIQu...

“Sly Lives!,” “A Real Pain,” and “Alien” are just a few of the movies you need to watch on Hulu right now.

without George Lowe, and without Space Ghost: Coast to Coast, Adult Swim as we know it might never have existed. not to mention, even before Eric André joined AS, he'd cited this show, and Lowe's ingenious interviews, as a fundamental influence. RIP, man

Sly and the Family Stone’s Everyday People debuts at No. 7 on Billboard’s R&B Digital Song Sales chart, marking the group’s first top 10 hit on the list. The renewed interest follows the release of Sly Lives (AKA The Burden of Black Genius), a Questlove-directed documentary on Hulu.

I kinda hate Severance more with each subsequent episode

Two recent documentaries throw into sharp relief the different ways the music industry treats Black and white legacy artists. 'Sly Lives!' is an attempt to correct and clarify the record; 'Becoming Led Zeppelin' is an attempt to further muddle it.
