Joni about Prince @ concert Here is the quote:
Q: But even when you were somewhat obscure, so many musicians were citing you as an influence or even name-checking you in songs. Of all the musicians and rappers who have cited you as an influence, whose work do you appreciate most? A: Prince. Prince attended one of my concerts in Minnesota. I remember seeing him sitting in the front row when he was very young. He must have been about 15. He was in an aisle seat and he had unusually big eyes. He watched the whole show with his collar up, looking side to side. You couldn’t miss him—he was a little Prince-ling. [Laughs.] Prince used to write me fan mail with all of the U’s and hearts that way that he writes. And the office took it as mail from the lunatic fringe and just tossed it! [Laughs.] If you read it already disregard

Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me, either. Just leave me the hell alone  | |

That's cute.  If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

that's such a cool story, good find! Joni gave Prince a lovely little congratulatory message when he picked up the British Hall of fame award recently. I just love their relationship. |

http://nymag.com/nymetro/...pop/11888/ I dont get that part. Why was he looking from side to side if she was on one part of the stage??  Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead.

Cute story. Sounds like complete bullshit, but still cute!  "Half of what I say is meaningless; but I say it so that the other half may reach you." - Kahlil Gibran | |

http://nymag.com/nymetro/...pop/11888/ I wonder if she actually saw or read the mail before her staff tossed it  | |
