More interesting than the new single , thanks Alan Leeds and thanks Prince Org people!

OK, I could REALLY be friends with this man. For other reasons besides this interview, Alan seems like he would be just cool to hang out with or a great person to come over to play cards with on a Friday night.

This was a wonderful read, and I'm sooooo glad Alan didn't make Prince out to be some perfect savior who makes no mistakes or bad decisions, like unfortunately some of Prince's fans still make him out to be. This was what I call a REAL interview. No one is perfect, no not even Prince.

Alan, if you read this, thanks so much for the interview.

Thank you so much for this fantastic Christmas gift! It was the best interview I have ever read on this site. Do I dare hope for a part 2?

That was so very cool of him .

He seems like a nice dude .

Now that's a Christmas present! Way better than an electric griddle.

Thanks 'nana.

Oh give me a break - it's PRINCE.Org ya goof I'm sure he expected a lot of Prince questions.

Yeah, really. I guess we should've asked him what his favourite sandwich is and shit like that instead.

Thank you, I really enjoyed reading it

Dear Mr Leeds,

Thanks for taking the time to answer our questions, but also to give us such elaborate answers!


A great Xmas gift!

And a for Nana.

Thanks for pulling this off.

Nana, you rock!


And, Mr. Leeds is true class in an industry seemingly devoid of it.

This was an immense treat.

THAT´s a GREAT IDEA!!!


THANKS FOR THE ARTICLE!!!!!

Thankyou so much for organising this, and a big thanks to Mr Leeds for agreeing to it. Merry Christmas from South Africa!

That was grand! The selection of questions was really nice and the answers made a very interesting reading. The time both of you guys spent was really worth it!

Thanks to 'Nana and Alan for an engrossing read. This is the man who should be both managing and producing Prince.

Awesome. Thank you, guys!

This was awesome! Thanks to the Org and Mr. Leeds for a great holiday gift!

Yes, great read
Thanks Prince.org and Mr. Leeds.

I got a laugh out of "resurrecting Chaka Khan and Larry Graham"

This was quite simply, amazing

Alan Leeds- thank you so much for taking the time to do this. And thank you from the bottom of my heart for my gift! You really didn't have to offer a gift- taking the time to answer these Q's was more than enough. You have made this an extra special Christmas for me and I will cherish the colour print. I know exactly where I'm going to put it and I think I'll post a photograph here at the org to show it in it's new home. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

'Nana- This was such a great read. I was excited when I first read about the interview and was looking forward to reading the answers (as you know! ) and it has surpassed all of my expectations. You have done an amazing job and you are an org LEGEND!

Thank you to all involved in this and fingers crossed for a book!

Thanku so for this!

that was beautiful! really great, looved the story about prince lettin his guard down in the limo. can't wait for the memoirs! thanks alan!

wow that was a great read. it's not like we need to understand Prince any better but it sure did have great insights from a person who was closer than anyone else on earth.

Thanks 'Nana and Alan.



ps - my question was cool too tho.

I've read this article a few times now (it's THAT good!) and my favorite part is the story Alan tells about Prince playing the new track for him. His mention of Prince singing lyrics right into his ear at certain points reminds me of the video of Kiss, when Prince does exactly the same thing to Wendy.

I think the most amazing this about this article is the lack of negativity shown by Orgers. I'm used to the negativity now, and it's really refreshing that everyone genuinely enjoyed and could agree with the honest statements that Alan made.

Alan was very candid about Prince's legacy and his recent output, but he remains optimistic about Prince's potential to amaze us. I couldn't agree more.

I've never been one to wish for "the good old days" when it comes to Prince. I'm more interested to hear what he does next, and part of that appeal is not knowing that eveything he does will suit my taste.

Thanks again to Alan for the time.

Right on...thank you Mr Leeds...and the staff here at the org...RIGHT ON !!!!

by the way Alan Leeds is just as insightful on the james brown "soul survivor" documentary...

Huh? I'm not aware he ever actually filed a civil suit against WB, let alone that he won or negotiated any huge settlement. On what basis would he sue them? He was the one who didn't want to comply with the contract, trashed them publicly, etc....how did they let him down?

If a jury had awarded a settlement of that amount, it would have been headline news; even if they'd negotiated a settlement, surely I would have heard something about it. Anyone else got any info on this?
