Prince admonishing the audience not to smoke

At the beginning of one of the LA Conga Room shows in 2009. no no no!

“Who’s out there smoking them funny cigarettes? Kathy you gonna have to get me a fan down here. I’d appreciate it if you don’t smoke. I don’t indulge. There ain’t no sense in both of us dying. What you do in your own crib is cool but your in my house now.”

I’m assuming that’s what he meant. Though Afshin Shahidi said cigarettes were a big no-no too. Didn’t want people smoking anywhere on his property, even outside the house.

Ha! Afshin was asked about this photo on a podcast. He said she’s putting her hands up as if to say “you caught me”. And prince responded that he was just wanted her to be healthy. smile

He said the very same thing at an aftershow concert I went to in Cologne in 1998 and then Candy Dulfer told the audience in German to stop smoking joints.

They opened the side entrances and let some fresh air in and interrupted the concert for a moment.

After that they continued to play....I think the song was Days of Wild.

This was at the Live Music Hall in Ehrenfeld/Cologne.

.

And then there´s the same incident on the same tour, this time in Lisboa, Portugal, where he talks to someone in the audience and tells him or her to stop smoking, and says something like "Your hands can be the worst killer. When you reach for that sixth donut, who gives it to you? Your hand. "

Etc. etc.

lol

Good for him. That shit stinks and second hand smoke stings your eyes and was probably bad on his throat and vocal cords.

Thanks for the info. Looks like you posted right after I posed my question to OF4S.

I went to that aftershow too. It was a once in a lifetime event for me and when he left the stage I thought the show was over. Thank god he returned. I thought he was complaining about smoking weed when he said funny cigarettes. I did not know that he hated smoking in general.

I have to admit that I was smoking at that show too.

True story...I was at the 1996 (?) Pantages Theater show in Hollywood, Love4oneanother tour...I think. Anyhoo...I was 2nd row, center stage...and I pulled out a "funny" cigarette. Fired it up and started toking. Prince was performing "The Cross" and came to the line "We all have our problems..." and used his finger to track my rising smoke trail. He had a smile (more of a smirk) on his face, and was lookng dead at me. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I kept smoking and he kept playing. Good times!

Make it so, Number One...

it's so nice that they banned smoking in all restaurants, bars and public spaces in seattle, it's funny to remember, it wasn't even that long ago, 06 or so that you could still smoke in bars. and when i was a kid everyone smoked everywhere and no one thought much about it, just look at movies from earlier times.

I hate smoking, and yes it does give me headaches SOMETIMES, but I actually like the scent. It reminds me of New York City, or some place big and exciting like that, nobody smoked out in the Wonderbread Suburbs I was raised in. lol lol

i mean, i am younger, so i never GREW UP with the smell around all the time. Kind of like diesel fuel on an old car..i LOVE that smell, because it's something that wasn't around all the time when i was growing up. (born in 1995)

Funny how cigarettes have all been banned from music venues but a blind eye is turned when the audience tokes up...the "funny" cigarettes. lol

Afshin had another cute story when he was driving once and received a phone call from Prince. He didn’t have his seat belt on so his car was dinging. Prince heard the ding in the background (because of course he hears and sees everything) and immediately scolded Afshin for not wearing his seat belt. lol

naw we cannot blame the org. People who think that are in other groups or just not fans and don't have the info. And yes the media and general public were saying he was a junkie. Simmons also called Prince a 'junkie' because he was projecting.


People think 'famous person' and the prejudice of 'Sex Drugs & Rock n Roll' is immediately applied. When someone is famous especially a musician, drugs or an std is immediately applied.

Exactly, the general public thinks all celebs are druggies which is absurd. Remember some of the nasty stuff about Robin Williams almost the minute he died.

Just mean and no retraction once it was discovered he had Parkinsons.

Which media outlets are calling him a junkie? Tabloid trash like TMZ and Daily Fail?
