I'm skimming the pges at this point. It's hard to care too much about Sly at this point in time because he doesn't seem to care enough about himself enough. He's in an out of rehab. Struggling with management choices. Trying to pay the rent..
The Family Stone get inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1993. They get inducted by George Clinton. Sly gets lost thinking of what he wants to say. Seiing the rest of the band throws him a curveball. He comes on separately and cuts short his own speech saying everything has been said,
He hears samples of his stuff on Hip Hop records. His influence on this movement is impossible to overstate. Sampling doesn't bother him. He's flattered.. He talks to Ptince about working together. Sly watches the news on his TV. Rodney King. I.J. Simpson. Nine Eleven. He for the most part is a spectator in life,
He goes back to the church. His parents die.There are further reunifications with Family Stone members. Emotional ones.
