Two points to make here: Despite
the headlineFunk legend Sly Stone now homeless
and living out of a van in LA
&
the hype, he's got a fucking van (W/ electricity: Note cord!)
& sounds more paranoid than out & out "homeless."
Inside the van, the former mastermind of Sly & the Family Stone, now 68, continues to record music with the help of a laptop computer.
“I like my small camper,” he says, his voice raspy with age and years of hard living. “I just do not want to return to a fixed home. I cannot stand being in one place. I must keep moving.”
Yes, it's the hard-knock life alright.
The van is parked on a residential street in Crenshaw, the rough Los Angeles neighborhood where “Boyz n the Hood” was set. A retired couple makes sure he eats once a day, and Stone showers at their house. The couple’s son serves as his assistant and driver.
Rough? Not unless the house has bars on the windows. Sounds more like luxury. Assistant & driver? Laptop? Showers? Owns a Studebaker?
And he cut a CD that was
released last month.
Our fave, from Sly's salad days:
