Prince on Tavis Smiley: Cured by Angels, Governed by Prophecy
Posted by Miss Info under good for me , hmmm....? , life beyond rap , quotes , things I ehh.... , things I like , things I'm not sure about yet , videos[10] Comments
Prince is a musical genius, and one of my all-time favorites (shout to all the twitter family who followed my play by play from his recent 21 Nights marathon performance that I witnessed at the Gansevoort Hotel last year with the homie Jay Smooth)….and here he sits down for a rare interview with Tavis Smiley. (I wish they’d replay that great interview he did was it with Chris Rock? or MTV…I can’t remember but he spoke about his rivalry with Michael Jackson. So Classic)
Anyways, in this first half of the 2part interview, Prince shares his…um…unique POV on things like….why as a Jehovah’s Witness he did not vote in the last presidential election. And how he was cured of childhood epilepsy. And what he thinks of the fumes that come out of jet engines….oh boy. Fascinating if not dubious.
In this highlight clip, Prince has an interesting theory on the deceptive practices in the music industry….

he gets points for making old women clothes fashionable for men in the 80s, but C’mon…really…does he have to be so strange w/o the women clothes on too?

The Prince interview you’re referring to was great. It was a Chris Rock interview and it was for VH1. It became the ultimate inspiration for his joke “You remember when people used to debate about Michael Jackson vs. Prince? Well Prince WON!”.

It was good to see Prince. Big deal about what he wears? He looks good. He was talking about things that are real. Ownership of music, his childhood, friendship and love. I have been a long time fan and it is nice to see Prince as a real person. He likes criticism as long as it is smart and worth giving, not just because.
Where’s the love?
