Prince is the purple elephant in the room regarding all other Minneapolis musicians. Far and away, he is the most influential, the most critically and commercially successful artist originally hailing from the Twin Cities. Dave Pirner has yet to accept this simple truth and consequently wanders third tier clubs across the country and drinks bitterly to this day.
I called Prince a few times last week to try and meet up. Charlie Murphy gave me his number. The Artist never returned my calls, though. I probably shouldn't have drunk dialed him and slurred "Batdance" into his voicemail, huh? Yeah, probably. I always blow these opportunities. Plus now his phalanx of Paisley Park lawyers will probably sue me. I don't care, though. Sign O' The Times is still one of the best albums of all time.
