Working with Prince- David Henry Hwang on co-writing Solo (Come album) Nice little article with Mr. David Henry Hwang. A bit old but still interesting. Haven´t seen this posted before. Funny that he compares himself to a starstruck little groupie considering he was born a year before Prince. http://www.yomyomf.com/wo...th-prince/ " "This time, however, Prince turns out to be remarkably down to earth. For him. We sit and drink, I dunno, soda water, and he tells me this story based on his own experience. About his relationship with a fan. Which became obsessive and weird — in a sexual way (of course). He wants to do a show about it. I am so on the case. I can go home. Do a draft of the script. Send it back to him. We can bat it around. I don’t talk about money, or contracts — I figure, I am doing this on spec. After all, I am friggin’ Working With Prince! One more thing. He’d like me to write a poem for him. About loss. The way you feel when you’ve lost someone you love. And you know they’re never coming back. And that, for the rest of your life, you’re going to be alone. He wants to do a song that suddenly breaks into a spoken word interlude. He rolls his eyes, “They’re gonna say, ‘The boy’s really lost it this time.’” " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?" | |
