KEC 3635 I did hear that he had a RV but you know how the media is,i swear they constantly misreport and give out inaccurate information but as far as Sly is concerned this situation is the classic case of not being aware of what he was signing and who he was signing it over to.The music business is a shitty game and so many of it's top stars get screwed over for not being educated on how it works. Best of luck to him and thanks for the updates

+KEC 3635 Could be, but I saw a TV news report showing a van on a suburban street with an extension cord running out to it from a house. They said he lived in the van, and that the family in the house let him run a cord out to it. The neighbors tolerated it because he was Sly Stone living on their street. The report could have been a fabrication, I know, but it appeared to be a true story.
