Sly Stone: Boredom Precipitates Productivity After 25 Years Of Idleness

“[Cause] it’s kind of boring at home sometimes.” – Hey, mystery solved! After 25 years of almost absolute-reclusiveness (save a Grammy appearance here and there), Sly Stone drops the revelatory bomb on why he’s returned to make music all of a sudden. Vanity Fair writer David Kamp chased Stone on-and-off to clinch this interview for nearly 12 years. [Vanity Fair]

“I’ll be probably doing [Batman] in dinner theater somewhere in my ’50s, so I won’t knock it. Because who knows where I’ll end up?” – Wisely recognizing the franchise is his meal ticket, Batman actor Christian Bale won’t say no to the potential “Justice League” movie, but he’s not saying yes either. 100-1 odds this movie never happens, btw.
