excellent! i tried to watch a couple of documentaries about prince on Amazon.prime yesterday... just couldn't.

but i watched enough to see how much he evolved from that interview with Dick Clark on American Bandstand to the later interviews.

i got the feeling he was always a little uncomfortable being interviewed.

when he told the camera he wanted to be judged on the quality of his work, not on his skin color or personality.... bawl had to turn it all off

This article takes me back to a wonderful tribute piece written by a journalist who interviewed Prince years ago. It's called, "I Wore a Rasberry Beret." I mean, it is a DELIGHTFUL read. Here is the portion that reminds me of this article. It also reminds me of a discussion I recently participated in regarding the so-called One-Drop Rule.

On the day of our interview, I kept him waiting because his security wanted to frisk me and there was no woman to do it. When I walked through the door he grinned like a little boy and said ‘Yes, a black woman!’ No one can ever again tell me I am not black enough because PRINCE TOLD ME SO. He smelled sweeter than any man I have ever been close to: patchouli. He was burning far too much incense. He moved on the balls of his feet, like a dancer. We sat on a sofa. Our knees touched. The room was a ridiculous Arabian nights parody: draped material in pinks and purples. I did not want him to think I was crazy. I wanted to be professional. I was 26 years old and I could not fucking believe I was breathing the same air in the same room as Prince. Read More...

Wow - What a great piece. Love the writer's journey. So many good parts. Some of my favorite quotes: seeking truth - "the ultimate real" and "Life is a symphony and we are all musicians. You are either in harmony or you're not."

Brand new boogie without the hero.
