FUNK-O-LOGY

Wonder B a écrit :L'auteur Tavis Smiley parle de la réaction de Prince quand il a appris la nouvelle du décès de Michael Jackson...

“I've never said it publicly… when the news came that Michael had died, Prince was in rehearsal at Paisley Park… Prince cancels rehearsals, sent the band home, and for days locked himself in his bedroom and wouldn’t come out and really didn’t talk to people.”

Smiley is still struggling to move on after losing Prince, his unlikely friend of over 20 years.

“I didn’t get to know Michael the way I knew Prince; that is why this book and researching this text was so much fun for me. Again, they are two of the greatest artists the world will ever know, and to hang out with Prince as much as I did is one of the great joys of my life.”

Après la mort de Michael Jackson, il a repris deux, trois titres de MJ comme "Don't Stop 'Till You Get Enough" : je viens de visualiser un live de Prince à Rotterdam datant de 2011 et ce morceau figure dans la playlist.

La ville de Minneapolis a fêté le 04 juillet, avec bien sûr des feux d'artifice, et en fond sonore Prince.
