Prince, MJ, Ronald Reagan & US Supreme Court Nominee John Roberts -- What?!

http://www.npr.org/templa...Id=4800918

A September 1984 memo from former White House counsel -- now Supreme Court nominee -- John Roberts refers to "a newcomer who goes by the name Prince."

Check out the audio link above to today's National Public Radio broadcast.

It all comes together at about the 3-minute mark.

This story also got some attention from CNN, MSNBC and Billboard magazine, among other places.
Wasn't MJ also trying to get a knighthood from the Queen? Too funny.
Considering how things have played out in MJ's life, Roberts surely feels even better about his decisions concerning the King of Royally Screwing Up Your Life.

Newcomer? By this time Prince had already released 6 albums.


edit: actually 12 albums total as a producer
