Kevin usually tells the story about Prince wanting a Camel and not being able to get one immediately.

Until now, I've never heard anything about ideological objections.

If Prince had wanted to he could of edited himself with ease. If Prince wanted it out there it would be out there.

Also he would be the first JW I've ever known, famous or otherwise, to have made a 'recruitment' film of their own.



i think Prince was probably pulling the proverbial legs of the people around him, as he does when he requires people "to not look at him", just to see if they do or not. that, or Kevin took some creative license when he used the example of a camel.

hmmmmm.... Prince has actually asked for an animal for a music video shoot late at night, and if my memory serves it was a camel, or was it a zebra or elephant? I heard this personally asking a former employee "gofer" from paisley park for funny stories.

Will ppl in 40 years still care about Prince?

Is it possible that Prince wanted Kevin Smith's name on there to give it more accessibility?

I dont see why Kevin got so pissed that, regardless of Prince's wierdness, he wouldnt want to be a part of it.


Prince didn't care about Kevin Smith's name, as too many others didn't really care. Kevin Smith was a flash in the pan.

Kevin got pissed because Prince is numb, and it isn't easy dealing with someone that is numb like Prince.


That's one way of interpreting it. The wrong way.

Ok so who did you interview that they were able to tell you precisely what the intent was for the footage filmed, when Kevin, who was actually filming it didn't know himself? I think you're missing the point that this is all after the fact. And kind of an aside to the original story not part of it.

In addition please don't start a topic about P wanting a camel. According to Kevin P's assistant was explaining how P can be demanding of his employees and was using this as an example of an outragouse demand he might make.

She did not state that he asked for a Camel. In fact Big Chick said years ago that P would say this to express to everyone how dedicated Big Chick was to his job i.e "If I wanted a Camel in the hall Big Chick would get it done"


Nobody mentioned a camel. So sit down and shut up.

NewMr7 mentioned the Camel story. I hope you can get help for your reading comprehension issue and the need to make up this crap about a JW recruitment film.

I didn't read his post. What I should have said was I didn't mention a camel. So get out of my face with that shit. And if you're telling me I "made up" said "crap" when there are at least two posts on this thread telling where I got this information from, you can stfu about reading comprehension as well.

Apparently it didn't offend Prince to work with Smith, with whom I am sure he shares many ideological differences.

On the other hand, if he owns the footage, what's keeping another person from editing it?

Most people have no clue as to the inner things. Get a gaggle of those in the room and ask them spiritual question, and they are only carring about "where's prince", Dah!

So times Prince seems as brainless as they do.

That's really sad that the Jehovah cult has asked Prince to recruit more people so they too can be brainwashed. I remember as a kid, every Sunday the Jehovah Stalkers were out pedaling there Religious Propaganda. They would knock on your door and if you ever made the mistake of answering the door, they would be knocking on your door every sunday forever. They don't understand the word no.
