"Prince was always nervous and Uptight" according to Tommy Barbarella

There was a real interesting article in the St. PaulPioneer Press yesterday about appearing on Letterman. They talked to ,among others, Tommy Barbarella from the NPG about what it was like to be on Letterman.

Here is the link:

Here ist he most interesting thing Tommy said about Prince.

Prince was always nervous or uptight," Barbarella said. "If we were doing a medley or a specific arrangement, we would literally rehearse it hundreds and hundreds of times. He's a perfectionist anyway, but when you go on TV, everything gets magnified."
