The Prince Blog Runs Dry...

People, where is the content here? Doesn't anyone know prince stories but me?

Today's tale is not so much a tale as a tid bit.



Remember when Prince went yellow? We all know Prince loves purple, but there was a very short period of time that he switched to yellow. It was during this time that my playmate from daycare had her brush with Prince. You see her dad does Piano refinishing for a living. and he was contracted to paint Prince's piano yellow. How exciting was that? I remember he told EVERYONE! I was probably in second or third grade and he told me!

Thank god Prince went back to purple, but if he had kept the yellow thing, he could have made a sequel to Purple Rain entitled Yellow Rain. Need I say more?

My Second Tale

This ditty comes from a friend of an old roommate,

So this guy is a lighting guy, I don't know what else to call him. He does lighting for theatres and concerts and such. Anyway, the lighting guy got a call one day from Prince's people saying they wanted the lighting guy to do lighting for a music video. Naturally the guy agrees to meet with Prince to hash out the details.

So the lighting guy goes to Paisley Park a few days later to meet with Prince. After he enters, a big bouncer-esq dude leads him into a white room with a mirror and a chair in it. The bouncer dude tells him to have a seat and leaves into the next room. The lighting guy waits in the stark room for a few minutes until the bouncer dude returns to tell him, "Prince says hello." The lighting guy is very confused and says, "Tell Prince I say hello." So the bouncer leaves again for a few minutes and returns. "Prince wants to know how much you charge?" It is at this point that the lighting guy realizes, the lone mirror in the room is actually a two-way mirror, and 'supposedly' Prince is on the other side watching him and communicating though the bouncer dude.

Isn't that weird???? Oh Prince, Prince Prince. I wish I could say I was surprised...
