Prince's time he lived in L.A.

Does anyone know the reason why he lived in LA the brief period he did? Why did he leave?

Was it to get more into acting in movies?

What happened to the Grand Slam club?

I'm not sure. LA seems so un-Prince though. That city seems to stand for everything he is against. biggrin

P always would stay in L.A. This pretty much started in 81, largely cuz he spent so much time at Sunset Sound studios. He rented a house in Beverly Hills in the mid 80's. I heard Glam Slam started to do poorly, so someone else bought him out.

it's gone because Denny's sued him for infringing on their famous breakfast tradmark, so now he can't sell that sandwich anymore.

in Prince's world, would such a sandwich consist of one thin slice of organic whole grain bread wrapped around one spinach leaf and a tofu sausage?

i think that amount of food would BE a bigassed breakfast to him.

mmm-MMMMM! let's all go to Lenny's!

I remember in '97 he sold his house in L.A. and the reason was cuz he wanted 2 live only in Minneapolis, cuz he wanted 2 be surrounded by positive things, and ironicly he now lives in L.A. and he demolished his home in MN.
