I remember a similar situation with Arthur Lee of Love. More than once over the years there were report or rumours that he had died, long before he actually did. I remember an interview with him in which he mentioned one of the false reports and how ridiculous it was.
I remember when I was 12 or 13 and was involuntarily subjected to being around a redneck for a few minutes. This was when rednecks had short hair and were easier to spot. After a minute or so of unsolicited ranting from him about how much he hated blacks and gays, i asked him what kind of music he liked. His attitude softened considerably. He mentioned a couple of country acts,a rock band, and then, without any sense of irony, he added "...and I like Sly." Later on, I thought that if Sly could get through to even an idiot like him, maybe music was capable of bringing the world together. I eventually lost my youthful naivete, but it was a nice thought.
