An Evening With Kevin Smith Documentary On Prince's Weird Ways. A friend on another forum brought my attention to a documentary a comedian called Kevin Smith made after he tried to get the rights to use TMBGITW in one of his shows. Instead he was given The Bird by The Time.
Here's an extract detailing what went on in the doco, I'm trying to find a link to the doco as I type this : The second amazing story is on the second disc and in it Smith details how he got involved in making a documentary for Prince when all he wanted was to ask him for rights to one of his songs. It's an entertaining story that is hard to describe and do justice. Prince comes off as being completely insane (which his producer seems to know and accept) and insanely religious. Smith ends up directing and leading discussion groups of people who have listened to Prince's newest album (even though he really has no clue what he's doing) and gets to be ministered to by "his purpleness". Along the way he finds out that Prince doesn't always wear heels (and wait until you hear where he buys sweatsuits), is a Jehova's Witness, and why Chaka mad. You won't get that last part unless you hear this story but believe me, you will be laughing so hard you'll cry. It's a shame that the documentary will never be released and this fact alone (along with the story behind some unseen music videos) just goes to show that Prince will forever live in "Prince world" and not with the rest of us. The highlight within the Prince story has got to be Smith's facial expressions when telling it (and he says he can't act), which make the story even stronger.

Oh god not this bullshittery again. Funny coming from a guy who put his sanctimonious crap on display in not one but two movies ("Dogma" and "Chasing Amy"). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If I remember...I think he needed some shorts or running pants and he sent his people out to get some (he might have been playing bball or something). Prime aka The Kid

 Macys , Nordstrom's stiill Fu#kin funny
Thanks langebleu :thunmsup: She says, "Yes, he's got warm-up pants with the buttons down the side." I was like, "Where does he keep it? Does he wear it under his clothes?" She says, "He's got them to the side." I said , "Well , are they made like his outfits? Designer basketball wear?" She says, "No, they're from a store." I said , "He shops at a fucking store?" She says, "No, we go out and get stuff for him ." I said , "Where do you get his clothes?" She says, "Nordstrom's." I said , "They sell stuff his size?" She's like, "Nordstrom's boys department." And at this point, I'm like, "That is so fucking cute!" | |

Kevin Smith is the best! I love his little fake fight with Prince  I love how they go back and forth with each other in the press.
Prince says he didnt like Jersey Girl Kevin was fine with it... he said thats fine, but I didnt like Crystal Ball  | |
