I'm writing an article about Prince creating himself as an other-worldly being as a part of his goal to create a utopian (uptown/new breed/paisley park/new power generation) quality in his work. Any quotes y'all can provide by noted people who have labeled Prince as other-worldly will be greatly appreciated. I'm also seeking the title of the 1993 article that presented Prince as an animated flying, other-worldly being. I'm searching for it through my crates of old magazines, but I'm asking here just in case I'm unable to find it. Thanks.

I have a really good one but unfortunatley this site isn't allowing me to post it. Email me at [Do not post personal email in an open forum snip - luv4u] and I'll send it to you.

Do you have access to any old issues of Uptown magazine? They had some great articles back in the day and you might find exactly what you´re looking for in them. One article called "The Prince of Allusions" was very memorable regarding your topic.

There was also an old cartoon in Mad magazine in the mid 80s that compared Prince´s energy level to that of a nuclear power plant. But I really don´t remember the issue´s number or year. Maybe Google can help.

Many celebrities of the mid 80s and beyond attributed otherworldly qualitites to Prince, calling his music medicine, saying he was "different and special", but most of those celebrities are no longer in the spotlight these days.

Interesting, but i do not know.

Thanks for the leads. I'll be searching each one.

Did Prince steal your tricycle?

yeah I'm having a debate with a friend on Prince vs Paul McCartney. I need the source of the one where McCartney says "I could never do what he can do"

I'm not sure about the McCartney reference, but Robert Plant said something to that effect during the MTV broadcast of the Purple Rain Movie premiere.

My unicorn. Is your article for Illuminati Magazine?

Robert Plant -Rolling Stone interview: He also digs Prince — for "sheer entertainment and audacity".

You can always count on members of The Purple Army...

I remember the magazine Creem...ha! Remember that magazine from the 80's, anybody? It was a rock magazine. It had Prince on the cover in like 1984 or 1984 and the name of the article was "Goodbye Earthlings!"

That's the only otherworldly reference that I remember!
