Blame It On The Train But The Boss Is Already There

2021/07/19

What was it like to work for Prince? It could be Heaven, it could be Hell. He gave people opportunities to succeed and to do jobs that they would not have gotten from anyone else. He changed people’s careers by elevating them to roles they didn’t know they could fulfill. But he could also be a very tough, demanding boss. He could make people cry.

Alone in a World That’s So Cold

2021/07/05

Prince’s youth was painful and traumatizing. He left his Mom's house because he felt unloved and then he got kicked out of his Dad’s house because, well, you’ll see. He was 13 years old and adrift in the world and angry at his parents but once he found a place to live with was a loving, surrogate mom, he began to flourish. But his drive to become a superstar begins there, at age 13. He needs revenge—he had to prove to his parents that he was worthy of love.

Body Don’t Wanna Quit, Gotta Get Another Hit

Honey, I’m Rich On Personality

2021/06/19

Prince was complex. We dive into this deep look at who he really was by exploring his multiple personalities—the musicians in the Revolution had names for the four personalities they saw consistently. That’s right, four. If you were close to him he could be a joy to be around but he could also be very difficult. Toure once played one on one and two on two basketball with him at Paisley Park. We start our journey into Prince’s world by getting to know his personality.
