Diplomatic Ties

This is the blog of Mr & Mrs Blockert. One is a diplomat with a mid life crisis who needed to spread his views on all things popular to the whole world, the other a journalist and keen photographer who goes along with this to humour her husband. Here you will find music, fashion, photography and popular culture in general. And there will be ties. Lots of ties.

Band T-Shirts 14: Sly Stone.

Music has always been extremely important to me. Therefore hundreds of band t-shirts have passed through my life. Most of them are gone (never occured to me when I was young that they could become valuable). Some I still have and on rare occasions I may even buy a new one. Here are some of them. Vintage, new, originals, replicas, cheap, expensive. All kinds really.
