The Prince and Morris Fist fight.

Jellybean: This has been written about in other books, but yeah. A couple, I mean. I was always in the middle. Prince used to always treat Jimmy the worst. Because they're both geniuses, they clashed. Now, in hindsight, Jimmy deserved most of that s*'t. Prince fired Jimmy and Terry when they missed a gig. It wasn't their fault. I quit, and Prince asked me to come back. I was having my first child, Bianca. Jesse said, "C,mon let's do this thing." So I came back, but Jimmy and Terry didn't. I was asked to fix it, but it was years later that Prince, Jimmy and Terry mended fences. The other fight was between Morris Day and Prince. It was during filming, a fistfight, and I had to break it up. These are two enormous egos, and eventually it came to a head. There was one big show at First Avenue that was supposed to happen. After the show, Morris was OUT the back door into his waiting Porsche with his girlfriend and GONE! The Time disbanded. The next time I saw Morris (laughs), he was talkin' about the "Oak Tree."

You can HEAR the actual fight on The Time's song "My Drawers" on the Ice Cream Castle album.

Heard Prince got choked out. I could literally hear HIM say "Let go of me!" Right at the end. that's why the song cut off like that. The slam of the door is an angry Prince.

I don't hear any fight. Just a door close and what sounds like a woman in heels(you can kinda hear the stockings) walking away.

Maybe he is talking about a different unrel version of the song he has, or another song on the album

Can you please clarify by explaining how much of the above is a quotation from Jellybean (and how much, if any, is from others) and supply source(s). Thanks.

ALT+PLS+RTN: Pure as a pane of ice. It's a gift.

There's a scene in the Purple Rain trailer where Jellybean is trying to get a hold of Prince, and P throws a haymaker @ Bean. Could that be one of those fights???

Bullshit Jellybean has talked about this in a few books. It happened on the set of PR when Morris was high and late. Jellybean said Morris punched Prince and Prince got up and punched him right back.
