Joey McIntyre (NKOTB), Eddie Murphy & Prince playing pool https://www.instagram.com...eymcintyre
By Joey McIntyre:
Nothing will ever compare to #Prince - especially live! Dude would go for 3 hours at an arena and then play 3 more at a little club around the corner. I simply thanked him for playing a second gig like that after he played the #BostonGarden. It was about ten or so years ago. I mean what do you say to Prince?? I just said as earnestly as I possibly could, "thank you." And he smiled that sly pirate smile. That was the second time I met Prince. The first time was when I was 17 (#1990) at #EddieMurphy's house in Beverly Hills- playing pool. Just me, Prince and Eddie Murphy playing pool. It was an 80's teenage wet dream. And I don't care if you were a girl or a guy, gay or straight, you'd be creaming your pants too. Eddie was being Eddie- grabbing his crotch and placing it over the corner pocket while I was trying to make a shot. I couldn't wipe the goofy smile off my face- Eddie knew I was having trouble taking it all in. He just said "it's show biz, man." But the line I most remember was the only 3 words Prince said to me all night. He was lining up his shot to break the balls and as he leaned in, he looked over at me and said in his deep, quiet voice, "How was Rio?" I don't even know what I said back. The New Kids had just played #RockinRio and he was asking how it went. How was Rio? I thought. Doesn't come close to playing pool with Eddie Murphy and Prince.
