Why do they refer to him as "the artist formerly known as Prince" on the cover? That bothers me.

Bothered me too. When he passed and CBS broke into programming to announce it the anchor called him the "artist known as Prince". I hate that too. Prince wasn't some stage name or alter ego it was his birth name. Grr...

Yeah. I don't care for Keith Richards but I really didn't like him after reading about his comment that P "thought he was royalty" or something equally as idiotic and also something about "if you NAME YOURSELF Prince" blahblahblah and I'm like ASSHAT, his PARENTS named him, it's not a name he chose himself just to be pretentious. He's using his actual name from his friggin birth certificate! Sheesh

This makes me sad too. He was planning/talking about doing a Paisley Park reality show.

MMmmm, this sounds good! I'm gonna make my eggs they way Prince did! Yummy!!

“Prince did the cooking. Scrambled eggs,” said former backing singer Jill Jones. “He put curry and a little bit of Cheddar cheese in them. It was really good, actually. You know, he barely ate. I was always starving around him. I was always freaking hungry!”

.

Dancer Misty Copeland added: “Yeah, he has made me scrambled eggs. Breakfast was his forte. He liked to use a lot of seasoning. Like Lawry’s, or one of those all-purpose seasonings. They were delicious.”

Here's the actual story from Morris about Prince and the hardware store.

Ha-ha-ha!! Too funny!

Reading these stories about Prince really warms my heart. I know he is looking down from heaven and smiling too!

OMG, the GQ article is all over the internet. Everyone's talking about it, LOL

.

There are many people who are just discovering how incredible Prince truly was, and he wasn't this shy, obscure, strange dude after all. He was multi-faceted, and multi-talented. I bet so many are suprised to find out what a great sense of humor he had. I'm really happy to see this part of Prince being shared with the world now!

This article has inspired me to get this magazine. I wasn't planning on it before because they should have at least had a picture of Prince on the cover, but I really enjoyed reading the snippets from people who knew him. These are among my favorite's. Walsh: I said to him, "Come on, man—don't you want to make another Sign o' the Times, another Purple Rain?" I don't know if I framed it exactly like that, but he said, "No, no—Jim, I've been to the mountaintop. There's nothing there." (Very telling... Keller: I think they were rehearsing for the Controversy tour, and he was dating Vanity at that point, and she was with him in a BMW. We were across the street, and we see this BMW with Prince in it, like, "Oh, Prince is just pulling up to rehearse." And I think he got very self-conscious, because he kept looking at us. He started to back into the space, then he didn't do the one-two-three maneuver that you do when you parallel park, so he hit the curb. Went up the curb a little bit, then he looked sheepish, pulled out, and I think Vanity started laughing. Then he pulled back in and completed the exercise. I think he was embarrassed. He's just like the rest of us—some days you can parallel park, some days you can't. (The fact that he was with Vanity.... Jill Jones: We shared clothes a lot—he'd see something I was wearing, the next day he would be wearing it. The first day I got [to Paisley Park], I found these pants in his closet, these black-and-blue kind of leopard-print things. I went to this rehearsal, and this beautiful black girl walked up to me and said, "Hi, I'm Kim. You're Jill, right?" And I said yes, and she was like, "Those are my pants." I was so mortified. I was such a child then—I was, "Do you want me to take them off?" Then she took my hand and she basically took me aside and kind of schooled me on Prince's ex-girlfriends. I think he liked it. I think he liked all of us. (I know this girl don't have on my pants! Willis: The middle-of-the-night calls from Prince were a consistent reality. Two, three, four in the morning—having the phone ring was not uncommon. And if you didn't answer, he'd call back. Or call someone to call you to say that Prince was trying to reach you. "Got a pen?" was the way many of those conversations started. A not untypical story: being awoken at three-ish in the morning on a weeknight. "Um, got a pen?" "Not under my pillow. I'll be right back. Okay, I'm back. What's up?" "I'm not sure which morning show it was, but one of them was doing a story on this woman—I think she was in Boston. Somewhere in Massachusetts. She has spent most of the past 10 years trying to save money to buy a building for feeding homeless people, and she's found a building but doesn't have enough money. I want to find her and give her the money." "Okay. Did you catch her name?" "No." "Okay. We'll find her." "Let me know. Thank you." (That man was amazing... [Edited 12/10/16 10:02am]

Beautiful.

Thanks

This was my favorite read since he died. The accumulation of personal anecdotes that showed the freaky, hilarious, and humane sides of Prince. Consistent with so many other accounts is that almost all the ones from the last few years portrayed a more engaged and compassionate P.

I thought that Prince was a vegan. Did he eat real eggs or imitation eggs?

As far as I know, he ate eggs & pancakes, cookies & sweets and was not totally vegetarian because he would eat fish as well.

Off to Books A Million now to pick this up......

He seemed to be a vegan only for a few years in the late-90s. By the Musicology tour we already had reports of him eating fish in a restaurant.

I think people should stop spreading the misinformation that he was a vegan, he wasn't even really a vegetarian.

He ate "vegetarian", most of the time, but not ALL of the time.
