In Reply to: Could someone repost the "Prince Story"? posted by LoneGeek on November 09, 2001 at 07:16:43:
: The legendary "Prince Story" is often mentioned on this board. Being a fan of both Prince and Kevin, I'd love to read the whole story.
You should probably find a way to hear it from the Man himself. The story takes about 45 min for him to tell.
Short version :
While asking for permission to use a Prince song, Kevin is asked by Prince to help him shoot a documentary propogating his faith and beliefs. Kevin Whole heartedly agrees, having no idea what to do. They tape a big group of people sitting around discussing the new album, and mostly its spirituality. Prince jumps in and leads the discussion (which happened every day for a week) and proceeds to say a lot of really strange shit.
In the process Kevin realizes that Prince can be a real psycho at times (sorry, prince fans) and is really hard to work with. They finally finish the documentary, which Kevin really had no part in, except to be there, and some of Prince's crew take it to post to edit.
Unfortunately, according to Prince's assistant, he does stuff like this all the time, and then locks it away in a vault never to be seen again. So all of Kevin's time and work was for naught, and to top it all of, Prince doesn't even come out to say goodbye or thank you when its all over.

Hope you're satisfied, or someone else is more long winded than I.
