God I love me some Prince.
Check this clip. James Brown calls up Michael Jackson, who does a standard little song and dance. MJ tells James to call up Prince. Prince rides a giant white man to stage and proceeds to get freaky. “Check the crazy guitar solo… No wait, I’m gonna take off my shirt instead. Oh! And microphone stand tricks! I can do some of those!” Effin’ awesome.
Best part? JB carrying Prince’s shirt over to him after he’s done.
…
Speaking of surprisingly (but not unpleasantly) unmatched expectations, the April snowstorm I mentioned that was supposed to bring the Denver metro area up to a foot of the white stuff missed us entirely. Don’t worry, though, it’s fucking shit up on the East Coast, big time.
Gee, I gotta vote for Prince taking out the Gas Streetlamp prop as my favorite part of the video.
