Prince is a very religious, very spiritual guy and I don`t blame him for walking out, that doesn`t shock me. What shocks me is why a talent like him would choose to see an absolute grade Z unmitigated sh*tbag


You know the story of how Prince got signed to a label? The A&A guy brought a tape in and played it for his boss -- basically a full band, funk thing, etc. Six or seven instruments. Prince stuff. The boss said, "Yeah, I like it -- but the drummer's a little off, maybe we can replace him." The A&R guy, "You can't replace him, it's one guy playing ALL the instruments and doing the vocals. And he wrote the songs, too."

Prince wasn't shocked by the content of Madonna's performance, he was offended by her staggering lack of talent.

I`ve been a huge fan of that guy since the early 80`s, Prince is without a doubt a genius, probably the only real one on the scene today. The back catalog of the songs that guy has written is mind boggling, it just goes on and on, he`s like a machine.
