    What's he recording in a van, his farts? The sound of failure?
    Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.

    I believe it's secretly called the "Paranoia Project", but I'll deny it if you ever quote me on that.

    "Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul!

    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.

    He's so broke dick because he pissed it all away and he's living in a van as a result, but he's got a driver/personal assistant?

    Too funny!

    This is very sad, mental illness and/or drug addiction is no picnic, especially in Crenshaw, poor guy, good on those folks for keeping an eye on him, bless them! Dr. Drew needs to grab his **** and shake some sense into him, we need more music from Sly!!
