SEMISONIC HAVE PRINCE MOMENT


HERE PART OF STORY ABOUT PRINCE:

PHILLIPS: You had what we are calling here at CNN "a Prince moment." Tell us about this and how you got a little nervous.

SLICHTER: Well, anyone would get nervous around Prince. He is -- he's so cool he had to be called The Artist Formerly Known as Prince for a while, as you know.

After we got done playing a show at the Beacon Theatre in New York he was backstage visiting with Sheryl Crow and my bandmates were so nervous they actually just scampered down the stairs to the dressing room. But I pulled myself together and went up and introduced myself and shook his hand and told him how much we loved his music and he just -- he mumbled a few words that I just couldn't tell. But I was so nervous I didn't ask him to speak up and thanked him and just kind of slinked away. (Ed. note: Both Prince and Semisonic are from Minneapolis, Minnesota.)

PHILLIPS: You just pretend that you understand Prince and you move on.

SLICHTER: Exactly.

Semisonic does a great cover version of Erotic City. Seek it out muddafuddas.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

Semisonic quickly cleared the stage (after their show) for Prince's first Fillmore performance later that same night (er, morning) in 2001. Pretty cool, eh.

If i met Prince I would piss myself and move my bowels at the same time right in front of him.
Haters travel in packs and they are offended or threatened by klhk, haters express intense hostility toward the subject of hate. Haters are annoyed and roll thier eyes when klhk is paid a compliment. ask yourself, are u a hater?
