I used to watch the bit from Moonwalker when he does Smooth Criminal all the time as a kid. We had it taped off the telly.

There used to be a great vid on YouTube of a man with tights on his head dancing to Black Sweat. It looked like a burglar had busted into someone's house then been overcome by Prince's music and unable to help himself.

prince was nothing when i grew up. without exaggeration, i don't think i ever heard a prince song (aside from in the batman film) until i was maybe mid-late teens and actively listening to rick james and all that.

jackson on the other hand was ever-present in the mass consciousness. by the time i was 8 or 9 he was a staple joke. we would have been doing impressions of him and all that.

I was aware of Prince in as much as I knew he existed but it was mostly through a joke that was popular in primary school.
what did they do with the leftover plastic from Michael Jackson? They made Prince.

I didn't start engaging with Prince till I was 19.

did prince have an usher? a tribute act a whole generation later?

I dunno about a decade later, but Prince lived in his neighbour's basement for a while and Andre Cymone, the neighbour's kid he grew up with, had basically the same act.

Barry hates this kind of music it just sounds comical to him but for me it's like crack
