Sananda Maitreya has a funny Prince story on his site

Every male Prince fan has been through this experience at least once right?


Found toward the end of the page:
http://www.sanandamaitrey...8_2007.htm

I can recall in the army barracks of Fort Sill, Oklahoma, having in my dorm room, shared with 2 other soldiers, a poster of Prince (the almost nude shower one from ‘Controversy’), and one of Springsteen from his ‘The River’ project. I had to fight to preserve my heterosexual honour after it was assumed that anyone with half a naked man, and a white boy on his wall was some sort of freak. I explained that I was a musician. I actually took a punch on Bruce’s behalf. (I may have later taken a few more, but that is for the book). Has fan ship any greater love than would take a punch for their favourite artists? I told the Maestro Prince later, of the heat I took for him in the military. He laughed.

…from what I have learned from him, I would take it all over again.

I had the "Gold" poster, the one where Prince's eyelids were down and he had on eyeshadow. I could never live that down.

Yeah, I made a mistake there didn't I. But if Prince ever releases the songs they recorded together in the 90's then I'd be on point. lol

Funny, I gave mine to a this white girl that I had hipped her to Prince a few years earlier. She was fast becoming a cult "rude girl".
