Hook of the Day - Sly & the Family Stone "If You Want Me To Stay"

by Wayne Graham

It is with much wailing and gnashing of teeth that I report that your friends at Hooks So Big will not be attending the Sly & the Family Stone concert here in Chicago on Saturday evening. This show has been cancelled.

So, in response to the many questions on the theme of "Will Sly even show up?"......no, no he will not.

Laaaaame.
