WHAT! how did he slip in this muthafucka?! There used to be a rumor that the only reason they played Prince in 1982 was because they knew Rick hated him. Andy is a four letter word. | |

I asked some people who remember MTV in '82 about Prince showing him and they felt they probably played his videos because they didn't know what he was "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." | |

I read somewhere in recent years though, that the first Prince video they played was "1999" which definately makes me wonder if they intentionally wanted to piss Rick off because "Super Freak" has a much more pop/rock feel than "1999".
