Notably not a song about drugs, but about the spiritual qualities of music. And holy fuck, does it feel like it. All the pieces work together to transcend the boundaries of the song, to uplift the spirit and of course, to rock the fuck out. Sly and the Family always get their due from the critics, but few of us on the lower level -- the mere listeners -- really give them the time they deserve.
