Prince in Paris Match

The 22 october issue of the French magazine Paris Match includes an an article + interview with Prince, made during his recent stage in Paris, where he performed three shows, two at the Grand Palais, and one at La Cigale. It is not available online, so if you are interested, buy the magazine (it is rather easy to find also out of France, in shops dealing with international press).

Besides the rave comments on Prince shows, and the nice pictures, I was surprised (or rather, I was not surprised, to say the truth) to find somme specific comments from him. Particularly, he stated that, currently, there is no interesting new music, and that he is the best guitar player.

I wonder when Prince will get out of the purple world and forget about superstardom; breath some fresh air, walk around with no heels, listen to other people (even those enabled to say "NO, Sir"), and realize that the center of the universe is not purple.

A long haired article on time, maturity and Prince is turning in my head for a while; and in spite of the small audience it will have (people don't have more than 1 minute per story lately), I think it will eventually find its way and be published here.
