Kurt Loder's "Purple Reign" article

I think most of us have read the Rolling Stone article Kurt Loder wrote about Prince in 1984 entitiled "Purple Reign". I read it online again recently and there were some interesting moments in that I thought were pretty candid. This was some of the stuff that painted an interesting picture of him I think...

..."Not everyone,however, is convinced that Prince cognizant of his own contradictions. One New York actress who auditioned for the Apollonia role in Purple Rain (and who asked that her name not be used--a common request in Prince orbit) expressed shock at some of the things she was asked to do. 'I turned it down.' she says 'It was way too pornographic for me. I mean, they had some stuff in the script that I wouldn't even let my boyfriend do to me in my own bedroom.'

Prince looked the actress up in a subseqent visit to Manhattan, and she found him alternately brilliant and pathetic. 'He's got a lot of hang ups,' she says 'He means well, and he's geinunialy talented, but he's got a lot of problems. He's really hung up on God for one thing. I think he thinks he's related to God in some way.'

One day, the woman says, she coerced Prince into accompaning her to the American Museum of Natural History to see a celebrated exibition called Ancestors. 'The show of the century,' she says. 'All these Neandrathal skulls, and how we evolved from apes and stuff right? And he just wouldn't believe any of it. I said 'Come on, you don't believe in that Adam and Eve crap do you?' He just blankly stared back at me.'

'There is a real dichotomy between his sexual hang ups and God and the Bible," the woman concludes. 'I mean, he's not living a Godly life. At least I don't pretend to lead one. But that is the most important thing in his life, God'.


All VERY interesting!
