This parade was such a shame and embarrassment for the United States. There's no way around it. Playing "Fortunate Son" summed it all up. What a shame, too. Clearly this was not a practiced parade event. It wasn't joyous. It seemed - sad.

Questlove said, "One of the strongest quotes from the movie is that Sly created the alphabet that we are still using to express music. He was the first to take advantage of being a bedroom musician, multi-track recording, the wah-wah, the drum machine, and doing everything by himself. We praise Stevie Wonder and Prince for these things, but Sly was the prototype. He also single-handedly revived hip-hop with all of the samples that came from him."
"Sly's sound was totally integrated, not just musically, but sexually and racially," critic Dave Marsh wrote in "The Rolling Stone Illustrated History of Rock & Roll." "Here was a band in which men and women, black and white, had not one fixed role but many fluid ones. The women played, the men sang, the blacks freaked out, the whites got funky, everyone did something unexpected, which was the only thing the listener could expect."

Even the crowds in smaller towns included a lot of elders.
Trump's base is teetering from the power of No Kings.
