Link above features a story by Entertainment Tonight on Prince from September 26, 1988. Couldn't embed due to the YouTube settings, but read below:
In this day and age with everybody being attention whores and an influx of artist, well, people taking their hobby to the forefront causing over saturation in the game, these days are gone. Pretty much meaning Internet+Music = no more privacy for the most part. Overall, this was intriguing due to the fact that his Purple Majesty managed to be one of the biggest entertainers w/o ever doing interviews! Really, he hardly ever did interviews even at his peak. Type "prince interview" in YouTube and you won't find hardly anything. Off course we all know times have changed and there's no need to dwell on what was cause "that ain't what it is" anymore, but you gotta reminisce sometimes and who better to use an example than the royalty that is Prince Rogers Nelson. Maybe the greatest introverted artist of all time. As a hip hop artist in this day and age it appears to be impossible to be The Man, The Myth, and The Mystery but hey, it may still be possible while maintaining your stature as one of the hottest. We will see.
Side note: Check Nelson George at 2:20, been talking shit about musicians since '88 ha Ha.
