Chromatic harmonica ? Aren’t they supposed to be very hard to play ?

ISTR The Police wanted a harmonica line on one of their songs and didn’t realise the limitations of conventional harmonicas. The problem was solved by persuading Larry Adler to play a chromatic one. The Wiki article on the instrument has a list of well-known players. Adler begins it and Stevie Wonder ends it. Is there any instrument that Stevie Wonder can’t play ?

Prince was the same. Gifted doesn’t even cover it.

Benny Hill What GIF

There was an apocryphal story that he had some ribs removed so that he had the flexibility to self fellate. I think it’s hard to swallow personally.

That autofellatio rumour has gone around the mill with various artists. One of the biggest urban myths alongside Marc almond stomach pump

Pretty sure prince had little issues with women tbh

Yeah Marilyn Manson nowadays.

Something he had in common with Gladstone.
(Who was also rather partial to the scourge)
Victorian values that would probably not be propsed by any politician today (in public anyway).

I thought that was MJ?

As odd as the notion is, the fact is could be either speaks volumes about the pair of them.

I thought rather than specifically prostitutes, Prince used to use every opportunity to either read from the bible or generally sermonise ad lib to any audience but particularly those who visited Paisley Park.

Yes, he liked to preach, it seemed like a power trip. I worked on the Diamonds and Pearls tour and used to lunch occasionally with Cat. She had the best gossip.
