My favorite line was from the Rick James episode, "Prince lived one year longer than Rick. That motherfucka!!" lol

Shout out to the animators, that look Prince shoots Rick when he says, "That little motherfucka is making me work." That look was prefect.

Does anyone think Prince's mega success derailed Rick James life and career? The bandmembers seem to imply that it really messed Rick up.

I'm sure the fact that MTV was playing Prince's videos really bothered him - as we saw during that interview footage, and then Prince's explosion with Purple Rain, which just catapulted him to another level way above Rick. I'm sure it was hard to see the guy who had just opened for him a few years back now selling out huge arenas, have the number one album and movie, and receive Grammys and an Oscar.

I think, more than anything, it was the drugs that derailed his career, as is usually the case.

I’m wondering if there’s a season 3 what genre that would be? Hair bands? New wave? The 80’s: Madonna Prince and MJ?

You know I found all of these episodes on funk then watched the ones from season 1 and they’re so entertaining that I ended up watching and LEARNING about people outside my scope and circle I thought I’d never have interest in knowing about.

That says a lot about this series. Also beyond the entertainment aspect, I felt the pain some of these people went through. It’s funny and deep too. Real life Is funny and painful. Those country one from season 1 are funny but pretty sad too.

Just watched the Bootsy episode, and that one's so sweet. There are some hilarious hijinks (James Brown accidentally taking LSD, for instance), but then it gets kinda depressing (Bootsy getting sick of being a front man), then the accident happens, and that turns around everything and it ends with a very happy Bootsy living his best life.

Prince ran onto Bootsy's concert stage with a tape recorder to catch the groove, and got his ass thrown into the crowd by a bodyguard. Bootsy didn't mean for it to happen, but the bodyguard didn't know who Prince was then. That story is on youtube.

He says Prince legalized Funk/made it danceable. He is sweet. I love his voice, and his laugh tickles me. Bootsy, cheers.

Yes Bootsy seems like a genuine nice guy. Also it’s important to note how young he was. He was just a 19 yr old kid when he started playing with James.

You might find it hard to believe but if ppl that were there say it happened then I believe it. Prince kinda made the older funksters pay attenetion to him with songs like Sexy Dancer (extended version) & Head. He was funkin' & dancing like JB & still avoided the chitlin circuit & Soul Train & this is before Rick's bigger hits (which probably came from Prince's stolen equipment anyways). Rick was busy with stage props & mannerisms that was done by so many other artist. Maybe you should listen to the Fire It Up cd (lol)

your post points to why i don't believe it, people who are prince fans are naturally gonna say "ya he killed him" and ricks fans are going to say the same. Rick had You and i which was a monster hit for black folks, huge, bustin out was probably out by that point, his best was street songs which was a year or two away but he had plenty of great funk by that point and hits. the objective accounts I've read about it were generally that the black audiences didn't really know what to make of some dude in underwear but that some of his funkier stuff had em grooving, it's neither nor I don't think. Prince didn't get booed like he did at the RS concert or chickens and bottles thrown at him but he didn't steal the show either.

Some ppl were there, like Jill Jones she discussed this during her interview on the Prince Podcast on youtube. Ppl just weren't really feeling Rick anymore, his sales started dwindling & the Teena Marie camp left his tour after Prince did & joined Prince's Dirty Mind Tour

History is written by the last ones there. Reminds me of when co-workers leave or get fired, sometimes their “legacy’ gets a little tweaked, but that’s the way it is.
It would have been nice if prince finished his biography as it would have told his story from his own point of view.

sure but a smart man knows that already and takes it with a grain of salt. People are so manipulative and deceptive I learned not to let that kind of crap get to me. You work your heart out for someone and they end up badmouthing you, you learn not to do that again and you also learn to take what anyone says witha grain of salt if you didn't see it for yourself.

He had plenty of opportunity over the years and most of the times he spent that babbling esoteric nonsense or conspiracy bullshit. Liner notes for his albums are often riddeld with errors. Uptown pointed out several instances in the Crystal Ball liner notes where Prince's story couldn't be true because the recording dates contradicted him.

I’m not arguing, we all know Prince was Prince. And I love when people are portrayed as ‘people’, warts and all. It makes it more relatable and honest. Prince has enough people who both overly idolize him, and don’t to get a good picture.
And that’s what makes this series so great. I love that it’s honest recolections by people who were actually there. In the end you get a better understanding of the subject than the usual generic bio.

I was listening to an old interview with Stan lee about Spiderman. He said all he was doing was writing the superhero as a typical teenager with all the things that happen to a real person and learned that people loved and were drawn to that. That it was more relatable in making the ‘hero’ face real problems than making their superhero’s perfect.

It's on Cinemax; if you don't have cable you have to look for it online.

It's Morris Day's time on "Mike Judge Presents: Tales From the Tour Bus." The Cinemax series, which animates behind-the-scenes dirt on classic artists, turns its attention Friday to the charismatic leader of the Time and his rivalry with Prince.

.

The half-hour episode, narrated by Judge, looks back on how Day met Prince, got the inspiration for "The Bird" and rebelled on the set of "Purple Rain."

.

Participants in the revealing, often hilarious documentary include Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, local filmmaker Craig Rice, the Time drummer Jellybean Johnson and tour manager Alan Leeds. Day himself pops up to talk about the raucous parties he threw after concerts and chokes back tears when recalling his last meeting with his mentor.

Ah man, they didn't even tell the Alexander O'Neal story correctly! That happened at a restaurant, not over the phone.
