Prince was human, though. We confirmed it in the worst way on April 21, 2016 when he was found dead inside an elevator at Paisley Park, the suburban Minnesota recording studio that he treated as a laboratory, a bunker and a vault. Since then, we’ve been bombarded with books about the reclusive virtuoso — by journalists, by critics, by anecdote-collectors, by his ex-wife — all of which seem to prove how unknowable he ultimately was.
Unsurprisingly, these 10 interviews uphold Prince’s reputation for being tight-lipped with his interrogators — not always down to play ball, but occasionally playful. When Ben Greenman asks him about “cybersex” in 1997, Prince winks back with six words: “Ain’t nothin’ like the real thang.” But he also knew how to deflate a discussion. In a 1985 interview with MTV, when asked whether he could have ever foreseen the success of “Purple Rain,” he flatly replies, “I don’t know.
absolutely not, next rhetorical question.
His name was Prince and he was funky. What's not to know?
Slow news day huh?
I liked his relationship with cvs
This was so close to being intriguing and relevant.
Still the best Super Bowl show ever, still top 10 best in the business.
He could hoop! Game blouses!!
bietz
For me, I know as much about Prince as I need to know. No one is perfect, nor without shortcomings, & secrets. Prince was an individual within whom [the ambient energy] 'talent' resided, and for many years, [it] expressed itself through Prince's mind, his body, & his soul. 😢🎵
Why would you want to know? Seriously.
It’ll be more difficult now since he’s passed on
What do YOU need to know🤨
GetALife
Kinda late to ask that question?
We know what He wanted us to know
Seance time. I know a guy.
Who can truly understand a black 5ft 4 male heterosexual testosterone driven genius from a racist height loving society like America.
Did we want to?
Well he’s dead, so I’m guessing that’s a hard no. 🙄
No. But I think you're obsessed and you need help.
I love him
I hope not? That would be weird for most of us
You talkin' to me?
To know Prince is to love Prince.
Hopefully we've learned our lesson and won't try to know too well the people whose work we admire.
Im sure as soon as some SJW digs thru his past, we will know too much. (Or something will be invented).
“I’m not a woman, I’m not a man. I am something that you’ll never understand...”
Nope
no
You mean biblically?
Did someone hack WP?
We know as much as he wanted us to know. That’s enough.
Probably not....because he’s dead
Chappelle gifs incoming.
No. Next question....
