1977 interview

I had never read this whole interview before. http://www.mndaily.com/ne...rple-reign It is sweet and very perceptive. I liked these bits:

"Prince is making an obvious effort to hide his impatience the night I visited him during a recording session at Sound 80 a few weeks back. The WAYL [radio] Strings were trying to lay down a not too difficult track that Prince had written, and the 16th notes were coming out like mush. They plugged away for about an hour when Prince very politely told the conductor to change the 16th notes to quarter notes. This done, he slumped down in his seat, looking dissatisfied and slightly annoyed. “We won’t be able to use that. I hate wasting time. I want to hear that song on the radio.”

OK, I liked paragraph 11 above and paragraphs 18-21 about his personal appeal and how cute he was, the one about having jive down to a subtle art and the milk shake lol

The same could be said for the thousands of photos that have been posted without permission of the copyright holder. Just saying...

At least in articles, credit is given to the author, and (usually) a link is provided to the source.

Folks just post photos with no credit or source. I guess if it is available on Google images, then that's good enough!

The part about the milkshake made me smile. He was such a special mischevious little guy.
