Dr Funkenberry Podcast Interview with Jerome Benton. Has an interesting tidbit about Troy Carter who apparently Prince did actually know. Some info about Andre Cymone's concert and the guess stars.

Thanks. I can never get these things to work. Technically challenged!

I wish they would break this up. I just want to hear the interview with Jerome Benton.

So far I'm still listening to the Will & Mayte and conspiracy etc

Hopefully Mike Dean or P&B will get to interview him. Can't bring myself to listen to Funkenberry.

I can't get the page to load. What's wrong with Dr Fink?

Fink or Funk?

Thanks. Like someone said earlier, i'm sure that an interview with Michael Dean and his Podcast Juice crew will be much more worthwhile, funny and informative, should it happen...

Thanks.

It was good, it revealed some stuff, it really gave me a good picture of Jerome during the periods

He was not shady or 'telling his truth' or being gossipy

He was definately team 1981-1986

He made a mistake in saying Prince was preparing for Under the Cherry Moon on the 1999 tour,

He lived the good life in France lol he sure did talk about that.
He knew some 'fan known' stuff that Dr Funk should have known like the name of the man who photographed the Family pictures(not Prince)

He is definately in awe of Prince and respect

I try, but sometimes. Sometimes he makes it so hard to sit through all of his...stuff.

I roll my eyes alot during his lead ups to the actual interveiws.

I don't think he's deloberately trying to be an annoying sycophant, but...sometimes...I just cant's

The weight of being P's bff rests heavy on his shoulders.

Lemme stop being mean.

Clearly I need more coffee.

dr funk hole or whatever his name is comes acrossto me as a obssed fan who wants people to believe he knows any and all when it comes to prince .every interview he tries to come across as if he knew more than that person that actually worked directly with prince. sad sad is he related to donald trump?

--He actually knew Prince. I do not think they were best buds but he did have the inside scoop when Prince was alive.

This is true and Prince did use him for things but I don't like when conversations become all about him. Like his recent 3121 episode.

Well he can only tell you about what he saw doing that time. I mean Prince cannot tell us and many other associates have totally clamed up or make fools out of themselves like Kirk.

I always wanted to know what happened to 3121 and now I know he was unhappy with the promotion of the CD so he walked away from the project.

I didn't like who he tried to push an idea that MTV wanted Under the Cherry Moon to fail.
It was suprising to me, that he wouldn't study up on the whole 'Contest' for the Under the Cherry Moon premiere.

And whether it was in Paris, Minneapolis or NYC, Under the Cherry Moon failed because of Prince, not the premiere being in Sheridan. But they way he tried to push it, and I love Jeromes educated reply.

Actually there is a article about the whole debacle. I will try to find it and post it. WB went ahead and put this promotion together without speaking to him about it and he tried to back out. WB told him he was going to do and MTV threaten to go on the air and say he was backing it out.

Total fuck up by WB and black mail by MTV. I believe DR. Funk heard all this from Prince or assoicates. Other associates have spoken about some elements of sabotage at WB.

George Clinton talked about it in his book at lenght.

I thought it was actually the 'date' that he was going to back out on'

Wasn't it Prince's idea to actually have a contest?

But at 2 a.m. the night before the premiere, Prince’s co-manager Steve Fargnoli called up with a flip of the script that would effectively nullify her efforts. “‘Little change of plans for tomorrow,’” Riggs recalled Fargnoli saying (he died in 2001). “‘Prince is going to send the girl with the band in the van and he’s going to drive the Buick by himself.’ I said, ‘No Steven, he can’t do that!’ Then he hung up on me.”
