If you met Prince by chance

A few years back when Prince was staying at a hotel in downtown Detroit, a friend of mine was working their at the time, he said that he had to check his room before he arrived to make sure it was up to par. He said that Prince had all types of demands for his room like, candles , a piano in the room , he wanted the drapes closed so no sunlight could come into the room, he wanted snack chips, cup cakes , soy milk and bottled water in his room just to name a few items. But later on my friend was on the elevator, when the door opened and guess who entered with his bodyguards prince, my friend said that he was real friendly because he beacuse he spoke first saying "Hi ... it's cold here it reminds me of Minneapolis, then he ask was he going to his concert? my friend was like your tickets was sold out so no i won't be going, Prince was like thats too bad, later on Prince left two tickets for his show downstairs at the front desk for my friend .

How about a

BRING PRINCE TO WORK DAY!!!!!

OK, Prince comes to work and I clock in.

He gets to learn how to operate a front end loader and a back hoe.
I show him how to operate the clam bucket and load dump trucks. Then he gets to operate the digging shovel of the back hoe and dig in a street for a full depth repair without hitting a gas line.

It snows a lot before we can finish and Prince learns how to plow snow. Jars and scares the shit out of him when we hit that high manhole, but he has fun operating the salt lever and throwin' salt out.

The foreman(following us in his truck) calls on the radio: Turn your auger and spinner down. You're puttin' out too much salt and throwin' it up into people's yards.

I turn it down, but after the foreman leaves I let Prince turn it way back up again. Hehehehehe!

He goes by some media jerks trying to film us plowing snow and knocks the shit out of them with a tidal wave of snow. They go bowling over, camera and all.
Owahhhhh! he screams. I laugh.

Prince goes home sick and decides that writing songs and performing really is his cup of tea.

I'm in trouble and get fired!!!!!

Maybe you could find a service that specializes in celebrity look-a-likes.

But if you decide to go this route,
make sure you do the research on such service.

Last time I asked for some who look liked Scarlett Johanssen,
& they sent me someone who looked more like Dog, the Bounty-Hunter's wife.

indeedy

if I happened to bump into Prince
I'd say... "you have to stay right here"
::drives to house to get vinyl::
and get him to autograph whichever ones he wanted
"be who you are and say what you feel
because those who mind don't matter
and those who matter don't mind."

It's very much true, i told this story not to blow smoke up you" guys you know
what" i just wanted to give people a different look a Prince other than being a tyrant or a asshole, maybe my friend caught him on one of his good days, know one knows for sure, but it was still a good gesture for what he did. as we all realize the man is full of suprises biggrin

OH hell, it could be on a GI-issue military bed, or a dirty concrete floor for all I care--His ass is still gonna put this little dress and reddish brown wig I bought him.

Yeah, you got a point there. He's a very complex person with many different modes and moods to go with those modes.

From what I can gather, he's a different person on stage than he is off stage, he's different when he's in an interview and he's different when you get him alone (if you're so lucky).

If that ever does happen, I hope that I
a) catch him in one of his better moods, and
b) don't make a complete idiot of myself
