That camera incident was not cool, BUT I saw Prince in concert one week ago. I could have touched him, I was that close. Ok, we know he is short. But he is really really small and is no more than 100 lbs.tops. Seeing him up close made me think about how wierd and maybe scary it would be to have complete strangers coming at me, touching me, not knowing what their intention was.
I think this must have something to do with his image as aloof that he has carried since the beginning. I mean he is really smalll!!! OK I quess I said that already. But he was all smiles and friendly and talkative and funny. ALoof is behind him now. But I would still want a big guy with me.
