oh yeah, this is back when he wouldn't really speak to D*ck Clark :pachaha:

prince was hilarious

dude knew how to troll and create a mystique lane for himself as an artist

but more importantly, he had the great/classic music to combat the trolling and mysterious aura
I was just about to say dude trolling in the 70s lol.

Yeah :russ:

some of why he did it, i think is because he was shy, so it was sort of like a defense mechanism for him at first.

but after a while. he definitely played more into for the cameras and to create a mystery for himself as an artist, to help set himself apart from his peers

Yep MJ did it as well. Back then as artist they tried to be mysterious when doing interviews as a way of creating an illusion to the fans. Back then the less interviews you did the more it helped your image....today its the opposite.

Much harder to do now with social media and how now its more important for artist to do interviews and interact with fans.

Yep I remember the media interviewing Boy George in the late 80s or early 90s and them saying that he doesn't normally do interviews or speak. Then years later finding out that wasn't even that fools real voice... :mjlol: . That boy had me fooled when I was a youngster...:mjlol:.

Yeah but social media messed everything up....it destroyed the entire illusion of artist. The more ignorant and stupid they act on social media the more fans they get and the more popular they get.

That is why you got dumb ass artist now getting on social media talking about they shytty draws and they toe jams and arthritis.....any ignorant shyt to go viral. :mjlol:

It use to be less is more but now it’s more of more

Times change but things do go in cycles and repeat themselves in a variety of altered ways

Yeah I remember this interview. Folks were all talking about "Prince was modest and shy at the time teehee"

Knowing damn well Prince wasn't trying to jive with them fukking crackers :scust:
His method was counterproductive. He could have gotten through interviews much faster if he didn’t give vague answers to simple ass questions :ld:
