Interviewing Prince

If you could get a once in a lifetime chance to interview Prince, what questions would ask him, how would you conduct the interview?

I would ask him about the artistic process. I would comment about his work. Not Purple Rain stuff either. But the music the general public knows nothing about. I"m talking Glasscutter, Ana Stesia, Cinnamon Girl, Dionne...I would probably end the interview by thanking him for getting me through a horrible childhood and enriching my life with his wonderful gift biggrin

I would ask about...

-how he came up with the song "God"

-Where to buy The Sign jewelry (been looking for a place to buy that)

-what his thoughts are on new artists such as Cee-Lo, Esthero, Björk, Andre 3000 etc even though some of these have been here for over 10 years, they haven't been as popular as they are now.

-who we would want to tour with (new and old artists)

-if he's coming to Norway again, and how soon. I haven't seen Prince live once. He's only been in Norway twice I think.

etc...

so this would be rather personal and egoistic, and not very interesting for the general public

with me there is no once in a lifetime.
News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so.

First, I knock back about 3 glasses of my best red wine (doesn't take much for me) and then it would probably start with me saying: "I thought Graffiti Bridge was awesome"

Honestly, I'd ask him why he has married/dated women so much younger than him.


Then after security tossed me out on my ass I'd think, "Damn!! I should have asked him when he was going to tour next!!"
I'm firmly planted in denial

I want to know when Prince is going to get down to interviewing Me, instead of just viewing me from across a cyber landscape.

What did becoming a Jehovah's Witness do for you that wasn't able to be done before you converted?

I'd ask him if he had any good memories of his childhood, if so, what were they, since all you hear about is the bad.

What does he think of Michael Jackson?

I would conduct the interview based on how Playboy did their interview with John Lennon. They ran thru a huge list of his songs (solo and Beatles) and got his impression of them, including the origin, creation and recording. The Lennon interview in Playboy is probably his most comprehensive interview he ever conducted.

To me, Prince has always spoken thru his music, and I'd love to know why/how he recorded certain songs. If he wanted to include parts of his personal life in the interview, that would be frosting. The cake would be understanding him as an artist.
The expanded version of my book PRINCE and The Purple Rain Era Studio Sessions 1983-1984 was released in November 2018. (www.amazon.com/gp/product/1538114623/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0) or www.facebook.com/groups/1...104195943/
