I couldn't immediately recall seeing Prince in jeans while bare chested (a fetching look on any dude...grr, woof, and yum), like, ever, so to Google images I went. Good lord...
Remember Pop-Up Video? I recall watching the video for "Raspberry Beret" with some of the facts being that Prince fired the animator and finished it himself.

The museum inside is cool though. Among other things, it had his motorcycle from Purple Rain, the big room where he used to host all-night jams, and - this kind of shocked me - his ashes in a frosted glass case in the lobby. We just did the standard tour, if you pay more you get to see/do more.penningtron wrote: Wed Nov 01, 2023 11:03 am haha yeah..

There's a good chance it's more decked out as a museum than it ever was as an active facility. That's just kind of a guess though, I think I remember some stories on here from zom-zom about him or his friends doing contract work there back in the day.zircona1 wrote: Wed Nov 01, 2023 1:23 pmThe museum inside is cool though.penningtron wrote: Wed Nov 01, 2023 11:03 am haha yeah..
