i have wondered this...what white man lets a strange, withdrawn, but pretty, black teenage boy, (and his northside friends) have complete access to his recording studio and GIVES HIM THE KEYS TO THE BUILDING?... and why/how did P trust this guy so much?...he had NO prior track record of any success in music...

Ok, what does race have to do with it, people believe in other people/see the genius in others all the time to do things to help get them success

.

and I know you're pushing the gay angle. And I highly doubt it.

.

people who are black help white people out all the time, and people who are 'white' help black people out all the time

Chris Moon believed in Prince. The same way Bobby Z before Prince had a record deal said what he saw with Prince he was willing to dedicate his whole career to him. Look over his life(just the 80s crew of people) and look at how far they went for Prince... look at the Time members. What Gayle Chapman said to Prince about what she saw in him.

Nice article. Seems like Prince kept the intimate setting for recording vocals started way back when.
The one thing I can't see is Prince's alter-life as anything average. Just don't think that was in the cards.

"... But the question I had always wanted to ask him was, ‘Was it what you wanted?’”

the answer is/was :

Love and recognition.

It´s "Was it what you wanted?" , not "What is what you wanted."

Not synonymous.

I think vannormal misread the question. You can´t answer "Was it what you wanted?" with "Love and recognition."

"Love and recognition." would be the answer to "What is what you wanted?", not "Was it what you wanted?". They are not synonymous, not interchangeable. That´s all I´m saying, no biggie.

Right?
