Michael Stipe mentions Prince in interview

http://observer.guardian....19,00.html

In this interview, R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe makes several references to Prince, and admires his ability to "do everything" with his music.

HC: If you could save one song in the world from being turned into a ringtone, which would song would you choose?

MS: Probably 'Purple Rain' by Prince, because that would sound absolutely horrible as a ring tone. Or perhaps 'Rhapsody in Blue'; I would hate to hear that as a ringtone.

---

HC: Who (dead or alive) would you choose to be in your dream band?

MS: No one, I think... it would just be me. I would just play everything, like Prince does... although maybe I would get Jimmy Webb to come in and sing some harmonies with me.
