PrintableDavidEye said: Many of those early Prince interviews were filled with half-truths,exaggerations and the occasional lie ("I'm not Jamie Starr",Prince once insisted).I wouldn't really make too much of it,because he was young and,as others have pointed out,Warners was responsible for some of those lies too. Prince&Owen Hussey came up with alot of things.they dropped His Name too Just Prince,flipped His Image upside down like a Hot-Cake.Jimmy Jam said in a Interview once that Prince had a plan for His first 6 years of His Career.I remember the line from"Can't Stop this Feeling I got" Dear Dad things didn't turn out as I'd had planned.Prince got schooled on the Game&then turned a Hustle on the Game His Damn Self.mistermaxxx | |

Jamie Starr was Prince's Alter Ego when He did the Time&Vanity 6 Projects.He also used the Name for a Mixing Credit on the "Dirty Mind" Album.and of course dissed the Name on "DMSR" Calling Him a thief.funny stuff.Tax Purposes for the Name&also if the Projects didn't Hit then Prince didn't want His Name Associated with it.alot of Artists use Side Stage Names too avoid Legal issues or too get more work of there's out there.He tried with other names but they never got the attention as did the Jamie Starr tag did.DavidEye & Mistermaxx-Why do ppl make such a big deal of this Jamie Starr thang??

You say that Prince lied about his race... 2 black parents? I heard Black and Italian Father and Black and white Mother. Does anyone know what real ethnic group his parents were?
thedog said: Prince came up with that lie on his own. On American Bandstand January, 26 1980 he told Dick Clark that
he was 19. He also lied about his race and didn't come clean about that until Rolling Stone magazine revealed that he had two Black parents. I think it was rock & soul magazine (long gone) that revealed his birth certificate. If you have the file sharing program Kazaa you can download the AB performance and interview. Kazaa also has the midnight special performance, but it's rare and hard to catch. | |

WHY DO WE EVEN KEEP TRACK OF AGE?
What seriously is the POINT "economic?" TO BUY something over and over year after year for everyone who HAS gracefully lives more on this planet in their current LIFETIME? I truly feel that AGE does not xhist and that the truth about LIFE IS BEING ALIVE not how many dang man made up days or hours or weeks there is... PEOPLE who are sick with dis-ease suffering ...seriously...would love to know why...AGE matters anyways... perhaps we should stop the clocks and time and just LIVE in the NOW...so that we can LIVE healthier lives beginning to HEAL in the NOW...since NOW is truly WHAT is the presence U HAVE with your life in LOVE. GODBLISS U with love honor and respect SingMia  | |

Prince's father told Ebony magazine in 1986 that he was not half Italian and that his mother was not half anything. He said that on his father's side he has a white Great grandmother and on his mother's side he has an Indian (native American) Great Grandmother. Most black people in the USA are mixed like that. His 1st cousin Charles (chez) Smith said the same think on the old Hard copy TV show. | |

Prince said alot of stuff back in them dayz...he just wasn't big on interviews. So i'm sure he used whatever smoke & mirrors 2 take the scent off the truth away...4 the person doing the interview never really got close 2 who he really was somewayz.
By doing things such as this he created alot of mystery & "Controversy" hint the song. Kinda left U guessing about this man whos name was really "Prince". Made 4 good reading...it drew U in wanting 2 find out more about this little man who was a big genius~ | |

I am still here very busy I seem not to be able to get everything I want done. He (Prince) was born in 1958 he and MJ and Madonna are only months apart in age. Warner Brothers did force him to go along with a lot of garbage. I want to ask you all something? If someone only tells 1/2 the truth is that a lie? There is a grey area for some people when it comes to what a lie is. Prince well he tends to not be totally honest but at the same time he never lied to me. If someone told you something and presented as the truth and you then told that to someone who was the originator of that lie? the 1st person that told it or the 2nd person that relayed it to a third person? sorry if that was over your head...jump up and try to catch the point next time. | |
