YEAH I MEAN FIRST OF ALL I WAS VERY SHOCKED WHEN IT HAPPENED JUST LIKE EVERYBODY YOU WERE SHOCKED AND IT'S INTERESTING TO SEE HOW ALL OF HIS MUSIC IS COMING OUT NOW. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE NOW JUST LEARNING ABOUT PRINCE. THE YOUNGER GENERATION HAVE HEARD ABOUT HIM BUT TIME TO CELEBRATE HIS LIFE. PARTIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SOME OF THE YOUNGER PEOPLE. THEY DON'T KNOW WHICH PRINCE AND I THINK NOW WHAT I LOVED ABOUT PRINCE IT'S JUST LIKE MICHAEL JACKSON HIS MUSIC NEVER GOT LABELED. IT WASN'T URBAN OR POPULAR IT WAS JUST PRINCE. IT UNION FIND EVERYONE. IT APPEALED TO EVERY GENERATION AND IT NEVER GOT LABELED. IT WAS JUST PRINCE. RIGHT AND I THINK A LOT OF THOSE MEMORIALS WERE JUST SEEING YOUNG KIDS, OLDER KIDS. THAT'S THE FIRST PERSON I CALLED WHEN I FOUND OUT YESTERDAY SO I GREW UP LISTENING TO PRINCE. DO YOU HAVE ANY PERSONAL STORIES? I INTERVIEWED HIM A WHILE AGO. HE'S A SUPER NICE GUY, NOT VERY TALKATIVE. HE WAS PROMOTING A SONG AND IT WAS COOL TO BE ABLE TO BE IN THE SAME ROOM WITH HIM WHILE YOU INTERVIEWED HIM AND LATER THAT NIGHT TO SEE HIM ON STAGE PERFORMING IN MIAMI EIGHT OR NINE YEARS AGO. I WENT TO THAT SHOW AS WELL. TO SEE HIM PERFORM I DIDN'T SEE MICHAEL JACKSON BUT I'M GLAD I GOT TO SEE PRINCE PERFORM LIVE. HE'S KNOWN FOR GETTING A LOT OF PEOPLE'S CAREER STARTED. CARMEL ELECT AREA. HE WAS VERY INTO FINDING SOMEBODY WITH GOOD TALENT AND MAKING THEM GREAT. HE KNEW IN THIS INDUSTRY THERE WAS A LOT OF THINGS BEHIND THE SCENES YOU DIDN'T SEE. THERE WAS A LOT OF THINGS HE DID TO HELP YOUNGER ARTISTS MAKE IT AND HE EVEN HELPED JAY Z'S TITLE WHEN IT STARTED TO GO DOWN HILL. HE OFFERED ADVICE AND MET WITH HIM.
