Prince doesn't get high he only tried X. Its one of the reasons he still looks decades younger...

U better stop with the name calling b 4 U get ------ again boo boo...

I used to be as delusional as you. Thank goodness I finally woke up.

These parts of the interviews intrigue me the most:

"I remember sitting outside on his steps and he came out with an acoustic guitar. He was entertaining one of the lingerie ladies [Susan Moonsie of Vanity 6] and started doing this Elvis Presley imitation that would have blown any impersonator out the water. It was spot on. He can be informed by any musician out there and, I believe, replicate it."

"There were excellent parts of the footage, namely his stage performance. Even though he was in his bikini and trench coat. Not to mention the antics with his guitar, the miming of certain sexual behaviors. Now, I as an artist have complete respect and admiration for the fact that he really is an artist."

Amazing musician and (live) performer. Based on official and fan reviews of those early concerts, I bet that live footage is amazing. Really a shame we'll probably never see it.

Wouldn't it be a dream come true if Prince were to finish this project,release it on DVD/blu-ray with a CD containing the concert audio? We would lose our minds

I'd want someone to finish it, I don't know if I want that someone to be Prince!

It's dreamy though, I feel giddy reading the description about some of the scenes.

I'd like for him to call Chuck and anyone else who was involved with the project,and have these guys finish it,exactly the way it was planned in 1982.

It's clear though,that some of these ideas were later used in other Prince projects.When I look at those stills with the two women,I think of the "Automatic" video

BTW - thanks for the interview and the article!

WOW! Simply jaw dropping!

For those of you in the know, find out where Chuck lives and pop in for a video and pizza night, and hope he brings it out to show.

He IS allowed to do that aint he!?

god i love this era... great read!

I know you weren't referring to me, KCOOL, but if anyone needs a ban, it's you for your annoying, sycophantic posting style.

And yeah, growing up in Minneapolis in the 1970's, I'm sure the only drug Prince EVER tried was ecstasy ONE TIME in 1987.

*insert heavy, red eyed Prince image from the opening post*

Another Prince "myth" that he has gotten a certain segment of his fanbase to buy hook, line and sinker. That he never indulged in drugs. LMFAO!!! Yeah and he doesn't swear anymore either and his bed hopping with all these young chicks (aka "muses") is totally JW approved too! Oh, but I forgot he is just "mentoring" them, not banging them. Some Prince fans crack me up, good to see there are others like you who know what's up.

Ok, walk with me on this one Are there any other shelved films beside The 2nd Coming, 3121 and the Kevin Smith one?

I know its a pipe dream, but I really wish there's a strategy and a master plan behind sitting on all of these projects, and not on some "Stevie Wonder's well" shit because the latter would hurt me deeply.

Well said, MikeA.

Just as a Christian will get blue in the face if you suggest Mary slept with a Roman soldier, or a Muslim will go bonkers over a cartoon of Muhammed, many orgers will go ballistic if you speak about Prince as anything short of a deity. These are deluded people, entry-level cultists writing in Prince-bonics and defending his supposed honor as if he were their Dear Leader. One might think such people to be merely creations of the internet, but we've all been to Prince shows and seen these very disturbed individuals with our own eyes.

Does anyone know who is the girl in the last frame with Susan? Tell me that's not Brenda!

Not Brenda.

The other girl is Kim Upsher.

I think the other girl is Jamie Shoop.

I have first hand information that Prince got high in the mid 80's with some of the Vikings on a very regular basis. I grew up on Prince and I was in denial, but it is true. I guess we have to accept that he is not perfect. I wont divulge details but this is 100% accurate.
