Larry G was a bad ass back in the day. I believe he was referring to Larry G beating the shit out of the fool that hit them (the accident). They were busy with the accident/fight tand they didn't have time to do a lot of drugs so they played well that night. So the fight/accident ended up being a good thing for them.

I do feel bad for proteges of P's. Prince has dedicated fans that want more and more music from P. The protege albums are mainly Prince music with the protege singing with limited input. But the demand for Prince!! Most just wish he was singing. When I talked to Chaka fans back in the New Power Pack days..they said 'that is a Prince album with Chaka singing the vocals.' It would be great if P worked with some legends and let them have more input/shine and that imo would really change the sound.

Its easier to have 100 influences and have your own sound and be yourself. Instead of trying to make songs that sound like Jimi or Sade. Early Prince we always guessed he liked a range of musicians but we never did know. Now we have songs that sound just like Jimi and James Brown but What we love is when Prince sounds like Prince, out of this world and original.

Me gonna enjoy Bria as Bria and quit with the Sade/Chante stuff. '2nite' like Tavis said is the best bet imo.

why does everyone like "2nite" so much? to me it sounds like a
lazy rewrite of one of them "gett off" house style remixes.

there are many much better songs on the album. i'd say that the
only one that i don't like too much and that disrupts the flow
a bit is in fact "2nite".

weird.

once again i'm wondering how old bria is. i'm very bad at guessing
people's age. but i'd guess she's probably around 35, no?

Beautiful, wonderful, relaxed interview that proves Prince is actually more normal than all of his crazy fans! Bria did fine too! I bet they're having a great time laughing their butts off at us...I also enjoyed the greeting to his good friend Larry Graham with wife...

exactly, and not just through the music in Larry's case, as they kicked some poor guys ass!

I'm guessing 26-27. Very nice, very nice.

if they had known their way the situation might woulda been less tense?? ...

Shes 36.

2 reiterate what eye wrote recently:)

Prince's interview cmd more insightful although Prince is very introverted and eye no he loathes talking in front of cameras. It's always wonderful 2 hear him speak and share funny stories in addition 2 the topics he has 2 touch on constantly.
As 2 what Ms Valente said, eye din't like what she said...2 me she came across as being self interested, arrogant and ungr8ful. Eye was angered and hurt when she didn't even mention Prince as being part of the production of the album. Eye'm not even sure she can distinguish between musical genres...Nasty Girl and 2Nite r in no way comparable nor worth mentioning, it should have bn compared 2 Fantasia Erotica. And then she made it cm as if her father was an equal 2 Prince in talent!

and they met when she was 17 through Mr Hays?

NDRU said:

The most facinating part of the interview was when he admitted channeling his ANGER into his music... i appreciate that he must channel other emotions into his playing.. but im still left with the notion that, Dude must have ALOT of anger...

PurpleRain747 said:

I bet Prince gave her shit about saying during the video break that it was exceptional elevator music or something like that. I think that was supposed to be a humorous in-joke between her and Tavis. Don't think that was meant to be aired.

NDRU said:

Yeah they would have met in the early 90s? I'd go with younger.

Vanity45 said:

It was nice to hear him, rather just doing his music.

How about not believing her story?

PurpleRain747 said:

Your eye wrote it? I bet that's gross to look at.

pplrain said:

I'm guessing they chanelled the anger into their music.

I loved the interview. The way he opened up was something new and exciting.....He's just like the rest of us aside from his talent. Love that laugh, melts my heart.

I asked Mr. Hayes he confirmed her age and her 20 years of stalking.

worhol said:

“Prince made little secret of his dalliances with numerous other women. While one-night stands were a frequent occurrence, steady companions were singer Jill Jones and Sheila E., who was also emerging as an important musical collaborator. A tense and unpleasant dynamic developed between Susannah and Sheila who encountered each other not infrequently as a result of their intersecting musical and personal relationships with Prince. And Sheila’s emotions, like Susannahs, were affected by her shifting fortunes...

Each of Prince’s "girlfriends" had something in common-their willingness to accept (although not always entirely without protest) his insistence on maintaining multiple relationships. And while few of his serious romantic interests were complete pushovers or airheads- Sheila E was a stunningly talented musician, and Susannah hailed from a sophisticated, musically inclined family- they were nonetheles submissive in their relationships with him. Conversely, his affairs with more headstrong women, such as madonnna, sinead o ‘connor, and the new york artist-singer carole davis, tended to be very short-lived.
"I don’t think he actually wanted to be around anyone more wordly or knowledgeable than himself for very long." Observed Leeds. "He gravitated to more simple women who’d settle for staying in his house, sharing popcorn and movies and not challenging his comings and goings."

that clears it up

salaciousV said:

LOL, for some reason I can believe that. What I meant by "her story" was what she told Tavis. That's why Prince couldn't be explicit or clear about how they met.

I got so much out of the 2 Prince interviews:

I appreciate how he shared about his journey towards confidence and excellence. I feel that I can learn from it. When I hear him talk with his soothing and calm voice, it is very compelling and inpiring to apply it to my experiences. Thank you Prince.

It was nice to hear him talk about other topics besides the faults of the music industry. Though it doesn't bother me when he talks about it. I can relate it to what I learned in some Commmercial music courses I took a few years ago. I found some things interesting and worth of research like the chemtrails. Even though I don't agree with his religious views, it is still a pleasure to listen and watch him expressing himself.

Surprised Bill O'Reilly didn't go after P for some of his nutty comments.
