@Burnsite With stories like this and your many travels around the globe, I think you should write a book in your retirement. I'd buy one.

@Mz iMac The other night when I posted my parody song, my son told me about the Rick James videos of Dave Chappelle.

Then he showed them to me. He did a great impersonation. I didn't like the one where he is laying on the white sofa, with dirty boots, and kicking the cushions, making them filthy.

My son thinks that is hliarious. I'll have to check out the videos, impersonating Prince.

If you look at the Controversy album cover, that is exactly what my Rashid looked like. Hair exactly in that style and the moustache.

I started listening to Prince in 1979. I didn't like seeing him in feminine looking lingerie and black stockings, when he did that.

He wasn't classically masculine, but sexy in an odd way, that fit his music, dance moves and his stage presence.

@spiderw I tend to separate the public (entertainment) life from their private life. But, it does get tricky when they start to "blend" in w/each other.

@ "frank-purveyor "

Is that what they call the hot dog trucks & carts in NYC?

@ninjawife I love The Purple One the best.

@Burnsite Wow ! What an amazing experience. It sounds like you had a very exciting job in New York.

@Mz iMac What fun! He must have enjoyed freaking people out, unexpectedly. I wonder if anyone asked for his autograph.

@Enufstuff He oozed sexyness because he didn't "shave" his chest hair or below (which is obvious on the Dirty Mind album cover).

The first time I saw Prince was at a club & he wore what you see on the DM album cover. At first I thought I was going to see a 1 man strip show since the band was fully clothed & I never saw hairy guys stripping. When the music started, I was like oh, a stripper who can sing & play the guitar before I realized it was Prince.

Prince was a genius and ridiculously sexy. I miss him.

Rick James: he had some great songs, and I always try to separate someone’s artistic talent from their private life but his went downhill, and it’s difficult to ignore the multiple incidents of rape, assault, torture and kidnapping. I think his hardcore drug addiction fried his brain.

@bikerbabe And his vocal cords. After his prison stint, he could not sing worth a lick! It was horrific actually. Then he had the nerve to go on tour all bloated & such! No wonder his heart gave out.

Rick James was a great artist that will always be remembered for his music and lifestyle that eventually got the best of him.

Prince was incredible, I still have his first two albums. I had the pleasure of seeing him before he died at Madison Square Garden with Sheila E and Larry Graham. It was awesome and memorable, no one wanted to leave and he kept coming back on stage to perform. He wore us out, what a musical catalog he has. I miss him so much.
