Sell the DVD.

It's the only way to begin the healing process.

Nah, I haven't watched the rest of it.

Just this Tora Tora thing...

I was just curious about it, as I have never heard of it, before.

I saw in interview once where he was dressed up in his tora tora deal and whispering everything to Mayte to answer the reporter. It was so embarassing.

Yeah, that is also on the DVD... I was wondering what it was, too.

Now I don't have to ask, ha ha..

I haven't watched the whole thing of any of it, just skimmed through it.

Tora Tora was an alter-ego Prince created to "disguise" his involvement on the Exodus album from WB. They didn't buy it, and they sued him. He settled out of court, eventually creating a deal where WB could distribute Exodus (they later cancelled the album release on their label).

The clip you are mentioning was a video "wallpaper" for the Glam Slam clubs to run on their monitors. The wallpaper is set to music (I guess in case the DJ wants to get real lazy), but was basically designed to be a background visual for the clubs. I put it on (with the sound off and other music running on my stereo) once at a party. It was fun to watch drunk people try to puzzle out what the hell they were watching!

It thanks prince, and has a small blurb about him appearing courtesy of WB, even though they did not give him permission to do so. I think he was just going to claim he had done some production on it or what-not, but WB weren't fooled (and really, who was?)
