Old interview from 1981 found

I came across a very rare if not very often mentioned snippet comments Prince
made 2 Playboy in august, 1981...it was written By Crispen Cioe and states
the following.....



"Show us your underalls"



Prince is a 21 year-old (actually 23; J7) who performs onstage in his
underpants and sometimes sings about having sex with his sister. On his
third LP, Dirty Mind, a funky R & B-and punk mix, he croons about oral sex
(giving and getting), sleeping a trois with his girlfriend and her boyfriend
and other assorted sexual high-jinks. The rock critics love his silky
falsetto (or is it his silky undies), ranking Prince at the top of several
1980 polls. But will success spoil Prince's charms? We doubt it. In fact, he
proposed to us a sort of national come as you are party---at two p.m.
everyone would have sex. "Traffic would stop and no matter where you were,
you would do it", Prince said, as he smiled. Welcome to the 80's. (in an
article 3 pages down from this one) We asked new superstar Prince what he
thinks of billboard and charts. "When the charts and awards are coming in
your favor, they are the greatest thing in the world. When they are not
working in your favor, they are absolutely meaningless" said Prince. No doubt this unique superstar will have nothing to worry about for years to
come.




hmmmm....now i know why he said it's all about being number 1 at the
bank....J7
