Prince and Camel

I heard that Prince once tried to order a Camel or something to his house in the middle of the night. Is this true? Has anyone got a link to this story?

Well what I heard or read somewhere is that Prince called Kevin at 3:00 a.m. to request that Kevin find him a camel for the infamous but as yet unreleased video montage that accompanies the song "grooves on hooves".

But there was a misunderstanding and when Kevin returned to the Park with a pack of camel cigarettes Prince got all pissed off and started a pillow fight with Kevin and chased him around the recording studio yelling "are you trying to kill me?! ARE YOU??!!!!!" Kevin only escaped by hiding behind the statue of Betty Davis in Prince's personal gym.

Then later Prince sent Kevin's car home and poor Kevin had to walk back to the drugstore in the dead of night when it was 20 below just to hitch a ride home. I dunno. Sometimes I just have to conclude that Prince is plain

Talk about Chinese whispers.

Kevin Smith mentioned this in the talk on his dvd of his experiences at Paisley Part. When he was talking to Prince's then assistant, she said that Prince would sometimes make crazy requests, like if he wanted a camel at 3 in the morning, he couldn't understand why it couldn't be done. I don't think it was meant to be taken that Prince had literally asked for a camel, that was just an exaggeration of the crazy kind of request he might make.
