Inspiiration for The Undertaker

On Marc Maron’s podcast WTF, Mavis Staples said that Prince wrote the song the Undertaker about her ex-husband who worked as well an undertaker.

Just thought someone might like to know...

Hey!! Another Maron fan! I nearly posted then thought I'd be shot down. Made me go back and give the album another go - imagine P's version of melody cool on Originals 2. Love me some Maron - even got to see him recently on a rare visit by him to the UK. Something to get excited about now with P gone.

I can't remember who it was, maybe Anderson .Paak (Defoe not certain) - saying about sinbad saying the story about P onstage with James, was that MJ knew P was drunk and wouldn't make an ass of himself.

Co-sign. I think OP must be confusing Marc Maron with "Mean" Mark Calaway, happens all the time.
