Yes - if you're intelligent and don't take things literally it clearly implies that their music is the drug you should be taking a fix of. | |

prince said :i heard you have some good weed here. i was suprised. prince had many references to weed like in the song schoolyard or chaos and disorder(big joints never take you higher) also on the james brown 1983 show prince was definetly on some kind of drug. his guitar playing is so crazy(in a positive way) that i suspect that he smokes mary jane. anybody of you orgers suspected anytime or seen him high? God I hope not!  | |

Prince's little aside appears to have been misconstrued and was actually nothing more than a spot of good humoured banter on his part, directed at a certain female in attendance who at the time was attemping to play Prince's piano (quite badly) whilst requesting he grant her an "apprenticeship" to work at Paisley Park as a sound engineer, despite appearing to have no previous formal training. I thought it was quite a hilarious moment. . "You don't frighten us, English pig dogs. Go and boil your bottoms, sons of a silly person." | |

She was the guest that wouldn't leave!!! That soundcheck stuff was surreal. Schöne Gruß  "Whatever skin we're in

I don't believe he smokes anything. Maybe he tried something as a kid but thats it.
besides... "Don't need no reefer, don't need cocaine. Purple music does the same to my brain, Im high"  If you will, so will I | |

Ahhhh...I think the gesture you refer to is in reference to something else...something like eating  Exactly. SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

ufoclub said: hmmm... he drinks. I believe people have drank with him at bars in the past... i bet he even tried smoking cigarettes at some point.... "17 days"
who doesn't? heckaslammin said: I highly doubt it. He seems pretty anal about drugs and alcohol. when i was at paisley park, he kicked a girl out because she was filling her water bottle up with vodca. Money don't matter 2 night
It sure didn't matter yesterday Just when u think u've got more than enough That's when it all up and flies away | |

Don't be naive, the man is a guitar player, from the 80's. He is a rock star. of course he did weed. |
