"The Time I Went Rollerskating With Prince" - from Questlove's autobiography http://www.slate.com/blog...ok_mo.html
I thought this was interesting, and didn't see it posted anywhere on here. I apologize if this is a dup. I love the description of Prince's rollerskates. Hilarious!

Agreed. "I'm a comedian, and honestly, what's funnier than that?"

"When I got back, Prince had the briefcase out on the floor. He clicked the lock and opened it, and took out the strangest, most singuÂlar pair of roller skates I had ever seen. They were clear skates that lit up, and the wheels sent a multicolored spark trail into your path."
Clear skates that light up and shoot a spark trail. In a briefcase. Who else could pull that off? | |

I don't think this is a dupe thread, but this is not the first time Questlove has told this story, nor the first time related on the org.
See here (there's a couple more/different details to this same story): http://prince.org/msg/7/289607

Read it back in the late 80,$. Don't recall where tho. Cool story. Prince did an interview with a woman at Record World. They talked about whatever, then he asked her: "Does your pubic hair go up to your navel?" At that moment, we thought maybe we shouldn't encourage him to do interviews. | |
