I meant to post this yesterday but I didn't get chance so here goes...


Okay, there may not be a shred of truth in this but the person who told me had no reason to lie and, apparently, he's known this story for quite a while; it was a mutual friend who got him to tell me, knowing that I'd be all 'Oh My God!' - so I thought I'd share it with you guys...


One of my colleagues' friends (not a good start ) is best mates with the Lost Prophets. I've heard my colleague mention them quite a few times and I know he's met them and grew up in the same area (which is just around the corner from where I grew up, actually). Anyway, apparently they're a great bunch of guys and still in touch with their roots and frequently fly my colleague's mate over to the US whenever they're touring.

Anyway... a few months ago, this guy was flown over to LA whilst they were undertaking promotional duties and one of the things they had to do was go to a photoshoot. So he goes along, just as an observer, and *who* was waiting outside the studio, inside the building, waiting to go in... PRINCE!

He had no entourage, and was very relaxed; just sitting on some couch waiting for the other guys to finish their session. The band members came out, went up to Prince and introduced their mate to him. Apparently, though, the only words that he could get out of his mouth were "Prince, boy!" but P was very charming and said 'Hi'.


And that's about all I know. But my colleague and I were roaring with laughter yesterday... this guy addressing P as if he was one of his mates down the pub or something. But P took it in his stride by all accounts.


Again, no hating please... I'm only relaying what I was told...

Cool story.

so was prince wearing a black corset and sportin an inflatable globe?

IstenSzek said:

Obviously, I wouldn't be a Prince fruitloop if I hadn't asked "What was he wearing??!" (which I did ) but these straight boys... They ain't interested.

My mate said he'd find out more details but if it was *that*, I'm sure I'd know all about it.

onenitealone said:

haha. if he'd been wearing the girdle and the slick hair i'm sure
your friends woulda thought they'd met liza minelli

IstenSzek said:

I can't believe I even asked that question. That's Prince fans for you.

I wonder if Black Sabbath fans ask that?

Boy huh, just as bad as P calling Pops Staples Junior, cool story

onenitealone said:

thats a funny story.

trc1 said:

Yes, very similar! It was more of a "Prince, bwoy!", if that makes sense.

Cheers!

The saddest thing is, my first thought was: "I gotta tell the Org!".

What is happening to me??!?

trc1 said:

That's what I was thinking, too. He's lucky Prince didn't give him the stank eye.

onenitealone said:

You are being assimulated. Welcome to the Collective. Enjoy your stay.









And thanks for the story. It was really cute.

Gratitude edit...

U know, and P would have had some stank ears

without a link to back it up its just a rumor.

Really? I'm not looking to be silly about this issue, Nick - if it has to be locked, it has to be locked - but does that mean everything on this site has to have a link to back up its' authenticity? Or else it's just hearsay?

For example, if it had been *me* who went into that studio, how would I prove it had happened? I could have seen it with my very eyes but I'd have no link to prove it. Just my word. If I had a reputation for bullshitting, fair enough ; but I don't see how things like that could be proved???
