Matt Lauer: Behind the scenes with Prince http://msnbc.msn.com/id/4547314/
Matt Lauer: Behind the scenes with Prince The 'Today' host answers questions about the reclusive Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Today show Prince treats "Today" host Matt Lauer to a sneak preview of his new album. Updated: 4:12 p.m. ET March 19, 2004 If you watched "Today" on Monday you saw Matt's exclusive interview with mysterious pop star Prince. Matt spent some time with him on the verge of his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the start of his latest "Musicology" tour. Today.msbnc.com had some questions for Matt about his take on the artist now known again as Prince. What's your favorite Prince song? Purple Rain Where were you when you heard a Prince song for the first time? I was working in Richmond, VA at a local television station. What's he like in person? Prince is incredibly smart and very low key. He's not at all the flamboyant performer we're all used to seeing on stage! Did he play a song for you? No, but he has performed on the "Today" show in the past. We noticed you were playing pool in the segment, is Prince a good pool player? Yes, and he tells me it's a favorite hobby of his and he has a pool table at his home. However he told me that he's a five-times-better ping pong player. What question did you wish you asked him but didn't? Would you play at my 50th Birthday party? How do you prepare for an interview like this? I pop a Prince CD in the stereo and read articles that have been written on him in the past. | |

Purple Rain is his favorite Prince song huh? I am so flaborghasted! He must be a dire hard fan. To pick such a rare gem! | |

He's intelligent and low key offstage -- not at all like he is onstage.
So, onstage, Matt says, Prince is stupid and loud. 
Do you think he was able to get the names of some dependable wigmakers from Prince? | |

Do you think he was able to get the names of some dependable wigmakers from Prince? Matt needs a little help in that department himself. |

By the way hi everyone i am new on this board, been a fan of Prince for long time. Wish he would come back to AUS. A friend of mine went to the after party (i had no money at the time to get in *sigh* so annoyed i didn't even get to get a program ) he had at the Indie Temple in Bris QLD AUS and Prince was playing pool with the fans. Man that world tour concert went off... such a buzz... sorry guys *end rant*"You can, you can smash up my uh oh... DON'T smash up the ride". | |

He closed with the best thing I've ever heard him say.
"I'm not so mysterious. I'm pretty much an open book. People who know my music know me". I've always said that. cracknbush | |
