I listened to a Howard stern program from a few months ago and he retold the story of how he attended a prince performance in a new York hotel.Howard said that it was not an enjoyable experience and that while he still respects prince as a musician a great deal he feels and I quote "there's something really wrong with that guy" refering to prince and his behaviour that night.Whether or not you're familiar with this story do you think stern is right?

Howard said that he loves the music of Prince and he's always wanted to see him in concert. He said that he never did get to see him because of his schedule. He said he got a call from a woman he knows, Randi St. Nicholas, who photographed him for a bunch of stuff. He said that Robin has met her before. Robin didn't remember meeting her. Howard said that Randi can make him look good somehow. He said that she's a great photographer.

Howard said that Randi was having a book party and she was going to have Prince play at her book party. Howard said that she invited him to go and he was very interested in going. He asked her how she got Prince to play there. She had apparently taken pictures of him and he was part of this book she was putting out.

Howard said he found out that it was going to be Prince playing in a room of 30-40 people on a Friday night. He said it was going to be in a hotel suite and he figured he was in. He said he went to the party and there were more like 80 people packed into the room. He said they got there and he saw Randi so he said hi to her.

Howard said that he was standing there and saw George Rush from Rush and Malloy there. He said that he wondered what the fuck was going on there. They had to stand because Prince requested that they all stand. He wondered what the hell that was about. Then someone brought over a chair for him and Beth. He said that everyone else was standing while he was sitting down.

Howard said that he was all excited that Prince was going to play in this tiny room. Prince came out to a pitch black room. Then they turned on the lights and Prince asked them to turn them off. Howard said that he thinks that it was Prince there. He said that part of the fun is to see the guy playing the guitar. He said that Prince wanted some kind of vibe but he couldn't see the motherfucker. He said the started to play and people were applauding him like sheep.

Howard said he yelled out ''why don't you put the fuckin lights on!?'' and Beth started to shush him. He said that he yelled out that the guy was fuckin' mental. Howard said that he doesn't want to be invited to anything like that if they're going to turn the lights out.

Howard said he asked George Rush if he was insulted. George didn't seem to care. Howard said that he was insulted so he told Rush to print that if he wanted.

Howard said that Beth was ready to go during the second song because she had to run the next morning. He said that during the second song Prince was taunting them to ''watch this'' but it was pitch black in the room. He said that he told Beth that they had to get out of there because this was bullshit. Howard said that people were applauding him though.

Howard said that it was so stupid because he wanted to see the guy playing guitar. He said that way he can perfect his air guitar.

Howard said that the lighting guy turned on the lights again during the next song and Prince told him to turn them off again. Howard said that he's here to say that Prince is the biggest asshole on the planet. Robin said that she went to see him one time and he came on late and mostly played pre-recorded music for them.

Howard said that he's not going to support this and he thinks that everyone should walk out. He said that they all should have done that but they all stayed and kissed his ass instead.

Howard said that Prince can suck his dick. Howard said that Randi is great and he can't cast any aspersions on her.

I guess you can't please call the people all the time, I and I know plenty of others who would have been more than happy to have taken Stern's place and been there that night.

can you please clarify? did he have a bad personal experiance with him one on one or something or was it something he witnessed about prince treating other people badly? how was he behaving?

but other than that i can see where hes coming from with that i dont think prince is one of the nicest people you would ever meet

His name is Prince. I have always thought that there was something wrong with Howard Stern and am obviously not alone. He's a known racist and says that because the Black boys teased him so much as a kid he's got a right not to like black people. Now you tell me is there something wrong with that fool or not?!!

I was there that night...and when he first came out, they turned on the lights and nearly blinded the man, so much so, that he had to turn his head in another direction (the spot light was TOO close to him).
These pix reflect the lighting that night.Can U see Prince?
