So let me get this straight. Prince gives the most eye opening, come-on-in, straight no chaser interview of his fucking career. And all the usual suspects and trolls in this thread can do is point to his comments about religion????

LOL....Man...Not to be crass...But fuck some of y'all know-it-all assholes....lol

How exactly.

I would be more impressed if Prince heard Dez needed money and put him to work. Bitching about it later in an interview, just shows how petty and stuck on himself he really is.

How about give an old friend a gig? Or, release vaulted material they played on and cut them a check. Just sayin'...

Prince is known to leave his shit everywhere, are we sure it was actually stolen? Sheila E sold his outfits at a garage sale. Mayte sold clothes. I remember Wendy and Lisa referencing some clothes he left with them. Remember the ex-girlfriend who tried to Ebay a jacket Prince gave to her and he blocked the sale? Prince has a history of feeling exploited when anyone profits around him even when they acquired the item legitimately. The entire article is about the same old thing: Money, money, money. I'm soooo important, The Beatles got paid more than me and I've got way more (crap) albums than they do. On and obnoxiously on.

Honestly, if Dez fell on hard times and sold a jacket, it's not THAT big of a deal. Prince has plenty of those bullsht PR jackets. Prince has been (no pun intended) rich too long. He's like those folks in your family who got a good job early in life, and don't remember what's it's like when hard times hit. I would be more impressed if Prince heard Dez needed money and put him to work. Bitching about it later in an interview, just shows how petty and stuck on himself he really is.

Uh huh because you know EXACTLY how they got his clothes and Prince constantly bitches about being taken advantage of in interviews with the media. I am so glad we have an inside source like you who is clearly privy to the full truth of these complicated relationships and therefore you have the proper perspective and vision with which to judge this human being and the individuals involved. Lastly, If a friend left his jacket in your house does that mean it's now your jacket? If your friend never came to get it, wouldn't you try to either delivery it or mail it to him? I find it interesting that because Prince 'leaves his shit everywhere' that that somehow relieves him of ownership of his shit and absolves the person who took it upon themselves to shall we say 'care for it' of theft.

I just remember what I read. Sheila was very clear that Prince left all types of things at her house, clothes included. She sold some of it. I don't recall him accusing her of theft. Prince comes across as having two modes: victim and spoiler. If he isn't playing victim, then he's playing spoiler.

He without a doubt did not like the recent BBC documentary of The Vault.

I still havent found this documentary. Where the hell is it?

I never saw anything more than the short clip myself. Could never find the full show.

With regards to The Beautiful Ones...It's hard to admit a woman had yo azz sprung after the breakup and whatnot. Prince tried to say the song was about nobody paticular, but he's clearly in his feelings on that track. We've heard what Prince sounds like when he tries to write from his head, not his heart and it ain't too good so... Vanity or Susannah (more than likely it's about both), it was definitely real.

That's why it's silly for the old guard to keep begging him over and over for what they cherish.

As long as they have been around they should have realized by now how contrary he is. The more you tell a contrary person what you want the less chance you have of getting it.

They'd have a better chance if he had no idea what they wanted.

My favorite was the guy who said Prince is ignoring "our need" for remasters.

From Billboard (Excerpt):

Where Did Ebony's Wide-Ranging Interview With Prince Go?

Miles Lewis tells Billboard that Prince's team got in touch with Ebony yesterday, asking for the interview to be taken down, saying that Prince believed the conversation to be off the record.

Lewis denies that assertion, mentioning that during at least one part of the conversation Prince did ask for a section to be kept off the record, and that that section was not published.

Multiple attempts to contact Prince's team were not returned as of press time.

I believe this was the case. Prince sounded like he was in the barbershop somewhere, just bullshittin. I can spot, what reads like, 3 lies in that interview. He was just shootin the shit and having fun.

Dude, I'm thinking the same thing. What a passionate group of people.

ITS amazing how people here, three in particular, create vivid stories out of interviews. Making up things as if they were there to vouch for what Prince was feeling or thinking.

I won't get into... other people already have and besides he had to be just having a good time. I can't see how he was serious.

I know right. Mofos need to get lives! For REAL!! They make the org almost unbearable. I have to avoid certain threads and cherry pick others

i'm not a basher of PRINCE... but this is a real low for him if he really pulled the article... it really does show he's becoming more out of touch with the public... really sad to c him aging gracefully on the outside but inside he's showing the bitterness towards long time people who've always been supportive of him.

Threads like this make me want to go back to being a lurker lol. It's hilarious as a new fan seeing how much tension there is here.

You ain't seen nothing yet. Passions run high up in here. Good luck!

I quite like this interview and don't think Prince sounds bitter. He gives props to Morris Day, Eric Leeds, Dr Fink (and Josh ). He admits he finds it hard to trust people (that's what the story about the coat is about, not money). That comes with the territory when you're a celebrity. He don't like people psychoanalysing him and telling false stories about him (who would?). He's genuinely into music and enjoys creating and playing music with other people. He rightly thinks he has something to teach in this regard.

exactly, this folks on here getting all emo cuz P clapped back on a few folks is laughable .,,he didnt sound bitter at all

LMAO ... word...

Psychic?? Even the guy who wrote the article has already accused Prince of lying ('Prince thought the conversation was off the record'). Y'all may as well stand down on this one.

The issue is likely the recording and later transcribing when Prince doesn't allow recording (as has been mentioned several times already in this thread).

About that Purple Rain jacket.... IIRC the lady that used to make them gave an interview back in the day and said there were a lot of them. They are essentially made of scrap materials like felt and bullshit. It's a stage costume, not really meant to be worn extensively, but Prince used to wear them like regular clothes and they wore out easily.

Again, If anything, if Prince was a rell one, he should have gave Dez more coats!! 'Sell some more of these muthafunkas'. It's all bullshit anyway.
