of Prince I'd like 2 read it about...
A few interviews from the Past(Star Tribune & etc.) I had copied in2 my Wordpad...

On the road, Prince and his bandmates shot hoops to unwind, Dickerson said. They played video games, too.

"We thought Space Invaders was incredible," Dickerson said.

From all accounts, Prince also enjoys a good laugh as much as the next guy.

"He loved to make fun of me," said Easton, who these days co-hosts a cable-TV talk show in Las Vegas. Prince used to get a kick out of hearing her repeat street-slang phrases with her Scottish burr.

Case in point: Their 1987 Top 5 duet "U Got the Look" - specifically, the line: "Your body's heck-a-slammin!"

"I'd go, 'What the hell is heck-a-slammin?' " Easton said. "He'd be on the floor, dying with laughter."

She barely had time to learn the tune before recording her part. "That was typical working with Prince," Easton said. "You got to hear the song twice and then he expected you to sing it, because that's how his mind worked. He'd hear something once and he knew it."

• DAVID Z: Prince is a great practical joker. We were all staying in the same house, and one night Tommy Vicari was out with his girlfriend. We took some of Owen's clothes, stuffed them full of leaves. Prince put a knife in the back of this shirt and we laid it on the floor of Tommy's bedroom. Tommy comes home about 4, 5 in the morning, and he flipped out. We were downstairs playing Pong. We laughed our asses off.

• OWEN HUSNEY: Prince and Andre were jamming at a music store in San Francisco, and members of Santana's band invited them to meet Carlos. We open the door: It's an all-white house with all-white carpeting. Carlos says, 'Come in, please. Please take off your shoes.' I said, 'Prince, you gotta remove your boots.' He said, 'I don't remove my boots for anyone.' He walks across the carpeting and I see this trail of mud, and I'm cleaning up the mud while they're in there talking.

One day Prince comes home [from the recording studio] all excited because he met Chaka Khan. She called up and asked, 'Is Sly [Stone] there?' Prince happened to answer the phone and he said, 'Yeah, baby, this is Sly. Do you want to come down?' About two hours later -- this is like 2 in the morning -- she opens the door and sees Prince. She says, 'Where's Sly?' He goes, 'Ha, ha, ha. That was me.' I guess she cussed him out. And irony of ironies, she has one of her biggest hits a few years later with one of his songs.

• DAVID Z: We took a tiny squirt gun to a fancy restaurant in Sausalito. Prince and I are sitting there with Owen and Tommy Vicari eating dinner. Every once in a while, we'd take turns -- we were kids, OK? -- shooting the squirt gun in the air so it was dripping onto some table 30 yards away. The people would look up in the air and wonder where that was coming from. We'd do weird, childlike stuff. To me, that was funny. You don't expect him to be like that.
