Prince tidbits in NYT article w/"Video Slut" author Sharon Oreck The full title of the book is “Video Slut: How I Shoved Madonna Off an Olympic High Dive, Got Prince Into a Pair of Tiny Purple Woolen Underpants, Ran Away From Michael Jackson’s Dad, and Got a Waterfall to Flow Backward So I Could Bring Rock Videos to the Masses.” She helped produce videos for Prince and Sheila E back in the 80s. Has interesting stories about the "When Doves Cry" and "Glamorous Life" video shoots.

When Doves Cry story We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

I want to know what she says about Sheila's drum pants. (She's right about the lame fire effects too.)
Also, I heard the limo used in the "Glamorous Life" video got stolen off the set, which is kind of funny. | |
