Can anyone elaborate on when Prince flipped his Thuderbird going around a corner too fast and bumping his nose?

sure!
evidently he flipped his Thuderbird going around a corner too fast and bumped his nose

This car accident happened in 1991,before the 'D&P' album came out.The car flipped over,but Prince walked away with not a single bruise.

How trashed was the t-bird?

9 pm, April 10th, 1991, Jill Willis, VP of Paisley Park at the time reported that he bumped his nose. The car had to be towed away.

Information reported in Controversy Issue 29, June, 1991

must be a Gemini thing...my boyfriend did the same thing except for he was in a Range Rover...and he walked away from it without a single bruise...the idiot...had me worried & shit

I wonder if this changed his outlook on life at all. I've never been in that kind of accident, so I can only imagine. I've never heard any references to it in his music, so maybe it wasn't that big a deal to him.

Seal trashed his car outside LA while writing his 1994 album (the second one called Seal), and wrote the song I'm Alive about the experience of seeing the car trashed and his own blood on the ground, like intellectually he knew he shouldn't be alive, and what a life-changing experience that was.

Haven't really heard anything like that from Prince.

I've heard Prince has some sort of vintage car collection - does anybody know anything about this?

I remember that on the radio (way back) they said Kim Bassinger was with him when the car slipped up... was that bullshit?

The same Thunderbird that used to belong to his daddy? I thought he was going to put Cat, Boni, Sheila, or some other chick in the backseat and drive her up to Tennessee in that ride? Damn.

It's true. Her head was between Prince and the steering-wheel. I don't know what she was doing there, but it probably saved his life.

She get's headaches now though...

It's not news. It would be in the news section if it was news.

Notice the thread icon is a question mark, ie: a question is being asked

dnaplaya said:

Yeah, I hear ya. But folks start threads to relay news all the time, and does anyone really pay attention to those symbols next to the threads?

Hmmm?

The truth on this story is...He was coming to see me! We had a little steamy conversation going on over the phone, I told come on over I'll be waiting in the hot tube with nothing on but lip gloss. I didn't think he was going darn near kill himself. Now I have to live with the guilt of what I done to the poor man. How was I to know he was that weak for some Cocosweet. The power of my passion.

That's cuz back in the day cars were made out of this weird stuff called 'metal'. It was really strong and stuff.
