Hating SOBs

They know tons of trivia, but are clueless about the historical significance of this album and how it impacted the development of funk. One of the presenters know EVERY negative thing about Sly and drift off into snarky repartee. Mentioning Sly’s drug issues a dozen times was nauseating.
