How big has Chris Moon's influence been on Prince's songwriting over the years as he was the one who encouraged Prince to write lyrics with 'implied naughty sexuality' (according to Per Nilsson). I know P wrote ' Machine' at a young age but do his subsequent, more famous tracks like LRC etc owe a nod to Chris Moon's influence. Also, why has he never spoken much about Prince in interviews as I assume he wasn't gagged contractually at such an early stage of Prince's career?

I know Prince said something like "There was someone else, but the name slips my mind" in his Larry King interview. lol!
