Did Prince have any "regular" jobs growing up? Did Prince have any "regular jobs"(ie. lifeguard, bag boy, working at a wreckastow) growing up, or did he always just work on music (bands, singer/songwriter)?
This is my first time, be gentle! Peace    ~~~~~~~~~~~

I heard him in an interview back in 80 or 81 and he said all he does is make music. Peace and Love! | |

vgallo6: it was the Amsterdam interview where he said that he "never worked..and would NEVER work" Music took up too much of his time. (damn typos) [This message was edited Thu Jul 25 16:42:39 PDT 2002 by Vashti] The Prince.org Photo Album http://www.purplehouse.nl...ery/Jacqui | |

I worked at McDonald's with him back in '75.
That's where he came up with the term "Chicken Grease". If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

I'm sure I saw him mopping the floor at Burger King in 1978.

Well, my brother had a friend back in the day that claimed Prince babysat him once but I hardly think it's true. -Dean is the cheese to my macaroni- | |

He definitely had a job as a teenager. The recent Uptown issue has an interview with Chazz Smith, his cousin. He mentions a job Prince did back then, I'll will look it up later. | |

Nope.
And he doesn't consider his current job 2 b "work" either. | |
