Height Discrimination?

If Prince meet a talented young man or woman who was a master of guitar, piano, flute, and drums. Could improvise effortless, and pick up on an chord. Would Prince hire them for his band if they were 6'2"?

I think he would hire them, but he'd probably do the same to them as he's done for any band member that's been noticably bigger than him -make them stand behind him for photoshoots and use camera tricks to disguise just how teeny he is.

When P was on The Today show performing LoveSign with Nona Gaye, he sat on a stool and played his guitar, while she stood and sang. It was obvious that he did that because of the height difference because Nona is about 5'10". lol

nod Exactly what I was talking about. Also, the group shot in the center of the Musicology cover is taken from a slightly lower angle -Prince still looks shorter than everyone, but it's not super obvious the way it would be in a straight-on shot.

His height does present some challenges.

I've often thought that if Cat had been a few inches taller there's no way she would have been 9n Sign O' the Times movie/tour. As it is, he has her wearing ballet slippers. A lot of people thought that looked really weird (including me) but it makes a lot of sense.
Come here, babe.. yeah...
