Today, Sly Stone — one of the greatest figures in soul-music history — is homeless, his fortune stolen by a lethal combination of excess, substance abuse and financial mismanagement. He lays his head inside a white camper van ironically stamped with the words “Pleasure Way” on the side. 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.

Remember when any Harry Potter book came out and your parents bought it for you and you couldn’t wait to get home where you would lock yourself in your room and read it until you were finished, both crying and laughing simultaneously because it was the best freaking time of your life? Yeah, I could go for some of that.
