Thousands without power is no joke either... hope everyone stays safe and warm 🍞️. But on the bright side, who knew Sly and the Family Stone had such an epic song hidden away? "You Can Make It If You Try" sounds like the perfect anthem to ride out this snowpocalypse 😎. And it's awesome that their music has been inspiring artists for so long... can't wait to dig into more of their discography πŸŽ΅πŸ‘
 
omg u guys idk what i'm even doing right now i was just chillin online when i saw that massive winter storm hitting the east coast and i'm like literally shivering over here πŸŒ¨οΈπŸ’¨ meanwhile, music fans are losing their minds over sly and the family stone's new single "you can make it if you try" being re-released for the first time in years i mean, this song is supposed to be some kinda classic or whatever πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ but honestly, can someone pls just tell me when my power will come back on?! thousands of ppl are stuck without electricity and roads r super treacherous πŸš§πŸ‘Ž
 
Ugh, can't even enjoy a song while stuck at home in the snow 😩. Like, I get that some people need to evacuate, but seriously, how are roads still bad after all these years? πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ At least Sly & The Family Stone's new release is a blessing... pure magic ✨!
 
omg i just saw that historic Sly and the Family Stone song is finally out i was so down when it first came out in 1969 lol my dad used to play that all the time but never got to see them live what a legend 🀩 that storm on the east coast though sounds super crazy been snowing where ur from?
 
🌨️ This snow is crazy! I remember when it was just a few years ago they were talking about how climate change is gonna bring crazy weather like this. It's wild how fast it's happening 🀯. Anyway, that Sly and the Family Stone song... oh man, I'm loving this throwback vibe 😎. I had my grandma play it for me when I was a kid and she'd always say "you can make it if you try" and it would just get me pumped up πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ. The fact that it's been hidden away all these years is wild, but it's awesome that they're finally sharing it with the world πŸ‘. Can't wait to see what other gems are gonna be released πŸ’Ž
 
This is wild, like, what's going on with our country right now? We've got a massive storm hitting the East Coast and people are struggling to stay safe, but at least we're seeing some unity in response efforts πŸŒͺ️πŸ’ͺ. I mean, it's not always easy to come together when there's disaster, but FEMA is doing their thing and the National Guard is on the ground. That's what civic duty is all about.

And then you've got this crazy story with Sly and the Family Stone's music being re-released. It's like a feel-good moment in the middle of all this chaos πŸŽ΅πŸ™. I mean, it's amazing that we can still find joy in the little things, but at the same time, doesn't this just highlight how much our cultural landscape has changed since then? Like, what even is popular culture anymore?

It's also got me thinking about how some politicians might respond to this kind of situation. Would they be out there on the ground helping with evacuations and relief efforts, or would they be more concerned with scoring some photo ops for their re-election campaign? πŸ€”πŸ‘€
