I definitely agree, one silver lining to shittiness of the past two weeks has been the chance to hear these incredible stories from past associates, and I think it would be great to have a thread that collects them all together. I really enjoyed the interview John Blackwell gave to a radio station, he had some fantastic stories, does anyone know if that's online? I've got an offline copy but I realise that's not that helpful

Was that the one where John Blackwell told the story of when Prince got him a lettuce Subway sandwich? Think this might be it? http://www.theboneonline....ll/vDqh5W/ [Edited 5/10/16 14:18pm]

Yeah that's the one, thanks a lot, that made me laugh at such a sad time. I hope there are more funny anecdotes like that, and I'd love to hear from other great bandmates like Sonny T and Michael Bland about their musical relationship with Prince.

I was just about to post this lol

Thank you.

Wow that was incredible boring. I skipped around through it and nothing really ever happened that I heard. He never spoke to Prince and only walked by him on a staircase.

There's an interesting article that showed up online from a blogger that Prince apparently either hired or invited to write over the course of about a year and a half. It's an excerpt from a book that's upcoming, from what I can tell...? This is cool as it talks about Prince's last night before he died https://docs.google.com/d...zCALaM/pub

Tried this and said "not found" - is it my computer?operator error? or has it been deleted?

Aloha Prince! So wonderful -thanks for posting the pic!

Did anyone happen to save a copy of this because it can't be accessed now. And I would love to read it. Thank you

The John Blackwell interview was hilarious. I almost fell over laughing when he spoke about them going to Subway. He really valued his time with P...John was treated very well.

Is that on YouTube? I would value something that Blackwell had to say.

This bimbo was a train wreck on that Live Yahoo thing and obviously knew nothing about Prince. She ruined it. I have no respect for pretty young chicks that get jobs that are not qualified for just because they are pretty or stylish. This plagued Prince's later productions - especially that AOA and HNR1

Damn..I knew ShamelessMaya from a video she did on getting rid of Roaches...By the way,..her method works.

I linked to it on page 1 of this thread. It's a great interview.

THanks - looks like that site took it down

That blog has been taken down. What did it say? Did anyone copy/save it?

Have you checked reply #16 - I just looked and it seems like the link still works?

Thanks. Had to use a different browser to get it. Well worth the trouble - unlike alot of brand new peope who knew Prince for 30 minutes like Nik West and this lightweight photographer bimbo Maya

Temporarily (?) reverting back to Shamelessmaya's recounting of her time with Prince, I found a snazzy photo of Prince wearing the wedge, thong platform flip-flops with white "pantyhose"! Maybe not a new one to most, but not one I'd seen before...

lol aww. Looooveeeee you for posting this lol

I love it!!! Still got my wedge thongs in 70s floral print. Everyone thinks they're real daggy and lame but I think they're lots of fun, ha! He was fearless when it came to fashion.
