In the Chris Rock interview from the 90's, he said his band at the time were chosen because they were vegetarian.
I'm pretty sure if he'd select them based on something like that, he'd also try to use only Jehovah's Witnesses.

I don't think all the musicians he works with are, but I'm sure they're encouraged to 'study the scriptures' with him.


I'm pretty sure Josh and Cora are, because that's the only explanation I can find for why he'd have them in the band at all.
lol

When asked by Matt Fink as to why he left the band, Morris Hayes said "It's that religion thing, man." Now that Morris is back, it makes me wonder if Morris gave in.

Note to self: Michael Bland is a vegetarian.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

No, I don't think Michael is. This interview was when Kirky J. was the drummer.

It doesn't appear that Michael is a very discriminating eater. However, elephants are vegetarians.

I was thinkin' that my boy Michael B probably likes his bucket o' chicken. I know I do.


Also... Apparently elephants aren't that discriminating in the snack department either.
