re that Minneapolis Special mix (which rules rules rules)-- it turns out that I've had 'Sex Shooter' stuck in my head for 28 years without realizing it! The words had sort of changed in my mind...
Also 'Modernaire'... holy shit this song!

So that issue of Wax Poetics is still on the stands? Killer. I'll buy one asap.

Yeah that was one...memorable way to end. Especially Prince's bitchy cameo.

'Vibrator' is also on a sprawling Prince boot thingy called 'The Work' which I managed to get a dozen or so tracks from in the days of Limewire.

amazing arena show in melbourne last night - ridiculous opening salvo of 'controversy' > 'sexy dancer' with the backing singers doing chic 'le freak' vox > sly + family stone 'thank you (falletinme...)' > KC + sunshine band 'play that funky music' > flava flav just appears from nowhere and does '911 is a joke' with prince on bass! chuck d turned up and freestyled on 'days of wild' during final encore too.
high point probably 'cool' by the time with 'don't stop till you get enough' woven through it, just destroyed the place.

nice, thanks for posting. did not know about this film -- what are the odds of it ever being released? 1 in 1,00,000?

just starting reading that wax poetics prince issue, some good anecdotes so far, like jesse johnson meeting prince for the first time and calling him out after he (prince) denied listening to hendrix.

He was totally not on point the first show in Chicago a couple of weeks ago, and then a total no show at the first (ticketed) after party jam. Then supposedly he was awesome the second night as well as the second after party. I saw the third after party, and it was perfunctory at best. Like Monday night, the little dude didn't even play guitar, and being within 10 feet of him cheerleading his hack pretty protege was not worth staying up until 3:30am. As someone was quoted locally, he sure is one mercurial motherfucker.

lol i was only foolin'--yeah prince should ditch the proteges! but he probably likes playing the svengali.

feels sort of wrong to call Sheila E. his protege (she's obviously the best of the lot) but he did produce 3 albums for her so I dunno

This is pretty incredible, if you consider the amount of hands-on work Prince was doing for results so frequently worthless: http://rateyourmusic.com/list/starsprinkles74/the_prince_protege_crash_course/
Dunno how they can call Mavis Staples a protege, because if she counts than so does George Clinton.
