      @@Reverend-Race-Horsey source? I found a thread of people telling stories about him but none had video proof. The stories they did tell was of him raising his voice at a band mate in October 1984 for not putting a magazine down, but it was in a joking tone. The other was an altercation in 1990 with Sinead. As well as one with Wendy. But they are all stories.

    Just a little piece of advice . I put off seeing Prince for several years/decades , mostly because I was holding out for a Revolution reunion that never came. I finally couldn’t wait any longer and I caught 3 nights of his “Welcome 2 America tour”. I couldn’t believe just how amazing his shows were(literal magic was in the air). I regretted waiting so long to see him live. So if you have a legend ( there are still a few around from various genres ) coming to your city or town , don’t wait, buy that ticket ! Catch them while they’re still here and, while you’re still here. Peace ✌🏻 Love , and starfish and coffee ☔️

    For anyone who hasn't been to Prince's home town, Chanhassen Minnesota, I recommend you go see his home, Paisley Park! It's where his ashes are layed to rest! As I lived just blocks away from Paisley Park, I'll always remember the nights he opened his place to EVERYONE just to watch and listen to his Jam Sessions! Prince was and always will be the GREATEST Male MUSICIAN known to the world! MINNESOTANS will forever miss him!

      Yeah, I was like is she crushing on Prince!?!? I remember Ellen saying in an interview that it's not that she doesn't like men, it's just that she likes women more! So, I guess thar this an example of this! Prince was turning things around lol...I remember when Rosie O'Donnell used to call Tom Cruise a "Cutey Batutie". Lol...

      Then you haven't watched her interviews with sexy men. She said the same thing to timberlake, Tom cruise, Javier bardem, and I could probably go on and on

    When Prince left his record label in the mid 90s he appeared on Rosie and Oprah. With this, he repeats that same formula. He didn't have record label support where he could fully concentrate on his music, telling his story. He gained mainstream audience through those appearances to make his then album and tour a success. Even selling his special releases at Borders Books. Prince... at Borders.
    He then dipped back into obscurity in the around the late 90s and trying to do a Santana-like comeback which wasn't successful in terms of how Santana and Rob got grammy's lots of air play, etc. etc. of which they are still riding the success of that collaboration with Clive and are planned to play a tribute at Carnegie Hall.
    So going back to Prince, after Clive didn't manifest the same success for Prince, Prince went back to focusing on his extremely loyal fan base. That's where Prince mentions the playing theaters in his One Nigh Alone tour.
    That was a lead up to what now seems was planned where at the right time, with a popular new "artist" Prince could reach that same/new audience, including people that 'missed him'.
    Prince's camp most likely spoke with the Grammys' camp and the new thing at Grammys was to match new ArtOfficial "stars" with legendary real stars. Thus, his Beyonce performance. This placed Prince's name in the mainstream again, fueled with 80s nostalgia, seeing how Prince was still a great performer, the mainstream masses bought into the Musicology Tour fever. Prince was slick like that. Finding ways to beat the system, to remain relevant, and in a way to also thank hardcore and casual fans that returned and gaining new curious fans. He was so slick he worked in his Musicology album in with tickets, bam, instant top seller without radio, without the internet really and without a record label.
    And again with an appearance on Ellen, he returned to that mainstream formula, thus his more tame style and look, non-threatening, to appeal to a mainstream audience. But in 2004 much more successfully than in 1996.
    Anyway, just a kind of context and thoughts about this appearance. Thanks to Ellen and her team for sharing it in great quality and retaining the 4:3 ratio!

    For a minute there, I thought Ellen would go "straight" after seeing Prince.
