Right. Too much talk (no snippets...it's torture to wait 15 days!) even if it's interesting to hear.

-

That's what I like about these podcasts.

The music needs to remain unheard until it's release. OK, that's my mho of course.

I understand the urge to hear it all right now.

Prince loved mysteries and teased us so many times.

See it as an old school tease.

-

So he had send a package of his favourites 'spare-ribs' from Minneapolis to L.A. by plane... ?

Weird guy, or just too rich.

Love the Larry Waronker story about the UTCM film preview.

So he ran, took off, and started to work harder?!

(I'm happy (now) for this movie. It gave us so many things like 'wreckastow' etc.)

-

Another thing, something I think of a lot, how the hell did he recorded songs all by his own so fast?

So apparently when he plays the acoustic drums, he plays it all alone said Susan Rodgers.

How amazing is that ! Hearing it all in his head already, everything; beginning, arrangements, end.

Fucking amazing and mind blowing.

And that he could slice tape ! Cool.

-

A good thing Gilbert came in with that L.A. Times newspaper, on Sunday July 13, 1986.

By Wednesday July 16, (maybe) the whole idea of cutting the tripple album to the known SOTT was actually born, when he finished that song...

-

Did Prince ever held a diary ?

I'm looking forward to read her text though.

Thought it was very interesting, and to the point.

It shines a light on things, that, as a European I'm not always aware of.

Great stuff.

Sorry, Bart. By the time I grabbed the link and came back here, edited it to make it clickable, you'd already posted it. (My page does not have a link emoji so I have to put the URL coding in by hand).
GMTA,perhaps.

folks are about to have a field day with this professor lady

Good podcast. I'm hoping they talk to Miko and others eventually. Here is what Miko said on his facebook page about the topic:

Miko Mixamillion Weaver

he was never a jerk during my time with him!

Miko Mixamillion Weaver

not all true if you were in the room like I have been

Miko Mixamillion Weaver

This is all so funny for me! I'm there since 1983 and know much more than what I've read by people who weren't in the same room including past engineers. Which many times on many tracks I've seen only himself working the controls that the engineers set up and then asked to leave! Many have forgotten that I was actually there with him

Miko Mixamillion Weaver

it was all him! Others where just others! People crying now mega years late? Pat's on the back bullshit! I'm sad because he can't tell his side of the story but I can but don't want to call folks liars!

Miko Mixamillion Weaver

confirmed? By a witness or a book? I'm sorry to say that he has told me things directly to my face! Maybe you too as well?

Miko Mixamillion Weaver

Why should anyone care about credits unless one's ego needs feeding and a pat on the funking back!

Come on Miko...just get on a podcast with Michael Dean or the Peach and Black Podcasters and give us your input. You already have credibility in that you've been silent forever.

Ugh, that professor. Please fuck off with that nonsense.

I don't think it was nonsense. I do think that it was a bit misplaced and perhaps forced. I don't consider SOTT to be an album where he addressed race issues. I do think that SOTT was a concerted effort to distance himself from the pop image that had become his brand, but he did not really tackle race directly on the album the way he did later in his life. With that said, he did tackle social issues in general on the album so I understand getting a scholar to talk about what was going on at the time. Looking forward to hearing from the black folks that were in the band, in the studio, etc. in the future episodes.

i used to live in the apartment bldg over Rudolph's Rib joint/Bar...on the corner of Franklin and Lyndale...i used to see Jellybean and Monte and Jessie there alot... never saw Prince... cant believe he would fly their food out to LA... Ted Cooks (E. 38th) ribs are/were WAY better than Rudolph's and they have beef or pork... Rudolphs just had swine ribs...i thought P didnt eat the swine?

Prince favored Rudolph's because he lived across the street at one time...and cashed his checks there. Early days checks, obviously.

Later, he went through vegetarian, vegan, back to vegetarian and then pescatarian with added daily eggs.

I found this one a bit boring...the professor had some interesting point but I couldn't help but think Prince would have rolled his eyes and turned it all off

now that you mention it, i do remember reading Owen Husney say he set up P in his first apt on Franklin Ave and bought him some instruments...didint know it was on the Uptown End of Franklin Ave though...i lived there from 93 - 96, well after P lived in the neighborhood... i think at that time Jellybean was part owner of Rudolph's if im not mistaken.

I'd have to ask Marty about Jellybean BUT even the official Prince website talks about that place in the Becoming Prince subpages:

It really is nonsense. It's pretty clear that Sign O The Times is continuation of Prince's long held belief that we are (or in his case, were) living in the end days.

The professor even ponders outloud "Oh we made such strives...but it's a system designed to forever oppress black and brown people...the 1980s were such a boom for the black community...but the [republican] politicans in charge cemented their anti-black structual changes"

She has a set idea in her head and tries to bend all the facts to match her viewpoint. Ironically, it's a viewpoint designed to disempower and otherize minorities. The polar opposite of what Prince believed and pushed for.

There's a reason why Prince told the crowd at his Baltimore concert that he wanted to stay in a hotel they owned the next time he came back. Because Prince didn't view any system as having the ability to hold him back or his community.

I have to put this bible verse at the end because the code here is bizzare. When I try to add it higher up, it puts quote around my whole post.

Mark 13:7-8

When you hear of wars and reports of wars do not be alarmed; such things must happen, but it will not yet be the end. Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes from place to place and there will be famines. These are the beginning of the labor pains.
