"And if you say this life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up"
These are the lyrics of the guitar legend Carlos Santana's award winning song Smooth from the album Supernatural. He now has the opportunity to actually live up to these lyrics after being reunited with his old drummer, Marcus Malone, about 40 years after parting ways.
Marcus Malone has been living on the streets for decades. All he has to boast about, unlike the rockstar who made it big, is a $800 pair of discarded jeans he found himself in trash.
"My name is Marcus, Marcus Malone. At one time I was in the Santana band, the original Santana Blues Band," the landscaper tells Stanley Roberts, a news reporter in Oakland, California.
"Now I'm homeless and on the streets," he tells the reporter while rummaging through piles of trash for valuables.
Turns out, he was telling the truth - he was the percussionist for the band. He was forced to quit some 40 years ago in the late '60s due to personal problems.
