Earlier this week we reported that Sly Stone is currently living in a white van in the middle of Los Angeles—homeless and, it would seem, financially destitute. But now questions have arisen concerning the source of this widely reported story, that otherwise spotless beacon of journalistic integrity, the New York Post. A "source close to Stone" alleges that the funk legend is living in the van by choice; Stone is still in rough shape, money-wise, but the source says that he is still able to rent a four-bedroom home in Woodland Hills, Calif. He just doesn't want to stay there; turns out the dude prefers vans, and he "is going to look at a couple of new vans this week."
