Sly Stone says he wants to make a comeback

Sly Stone, the Howard Hughes of the Woodstock scene, rolled up on a hulking three-wheel custom chopper painted the color of lemons. His straggly hair was tucked up beneath an ebony San Francisco Giants baseball cap with sparkly silver threading and draped on his shoulders was the type of shirt you don't expect to see unless you happen to be Flavor Flav's dry cleaner -- it was emblazoned with images of gambler's dice and the $100 face of Ben Franklin.
