Tight Quarters
How do you go from being a multi-millionaire to living in a van on a street in South Central? Hold on, let me think…drugs? This is easily the most noteworthy Sly Stone story since the bogus rumor about his having had an affair with Doris Day in the early ’70s.
Most homeless people are homeless, not necessarily because of drugs (although they certainly can play a part) or being broke, but having severe mental problems.
Anyone sane can get a job at McDonalds, but the mentally ill generally can not.
The music industry gave Stone plenty of chances to right the ship, but Stone, sadly, is not mentally competent to do so.
Oh god…I thought for half-a-minute that this was about Sylvester Stallone…
I always wonder how there can be no one to take these people in. Family, friends, the band, etc. It has to be severe mental illness.
Wait- doesn’t Sly have a FAMILY STONE to take care of him?
It’s gotten way too hard to have people committed and treated without their consent. Not exactly a nice fact, but it is what it is.
DiscoNap: just FYI, I used to work for the California Department of Mental Health.
The state standard is, persons can only be committed against their will *if* they’re a demonstrated danger to themselves or others, *or* if they’re declared by a judge to be mentally unfit to stand trial (in which case they go into what’s called a ‘forensic’ mental hospital).
The only workaround: individuals can commit themselves if they choose. And the spookiest part: Sly sounds like, if he were to be committed in his current state, he’d be considered one of the *most* functional and productive members of the population in the CA system.
Yeah that seems like a pretty bad standard.
As sad coincidence would have it, Sly recently released another comeback album:
