***How Can U Just Leave Me Standing? New interview with Neal Karlen***

Hasn't been one of these for a while, but a new episode is out now.

Former Rolling Stone journalist Neal Karlen shares his dilemmas on writing This Thing Called Life after Prince's death...including the importance of fact-checking.

The interview also covers the humour in his book, thinking about Prince as a 'working class guy', the relationships he kept, but also whether or not his was ultimately a sad story or one of triumph.

Worth a listen, whether you've had a chance to read the book or not.

Still trying to flog that book full of post-1980s fantasy stories?
As close to Prince as Karlen claims to be, his name is only recognized by the 1980s crew....and many have checked with each other.

Welcome to "the org", laytonian… come bathe with me.
