I can't remember which interview it was. Chris Rock maybe? actually that was his first real interview after Purple Rain, from Rolling Stone(with Neal Karlen) , back in '85: Prince: "I saw critics be so critical of Stevie Wonder when he made Journey through the Secret World of Plants. Stevie has done so many great songs, and for people to say, "You missed, don't do that, go back" -- well, I would never say, "Stevie Wonder, you missed." [Prince puts the Wonder album on the turntable, plays a cut, then puts on Miles Davis' new album.] Or Miles. Critics are going to say, "Ah, Miles done went off." Why say that? Why even tell Miles he went off? You know, if you don't like it, don't talk about it. Go buy another record! "Not long ago, I talked to George Clinton, a man who knows and has done so much for funk. George told me how much he liked Around the World in a Day. You know how much more his words meant than those from some mamma-jamma wearing glasses and an alligator shirt behind a typewriter?" Damn, I remembered that from 20 years ago? I didn't think my memory was that good. I could have sworn it was more recent than that. Thanks! | |
