Muse 2 the Pharaoh : Shockadelica

What did you just feel? What is it about Prince that makes us so suspicious of the women in his life? Why are some ladies celebrated while others are disparaged? We have a discussion about the prejudice against women in the purple world and explore the artistry of his later proteges, muses, and associates. Special guest from tumblr @starfishandcoffee!

Sheila E. Remembers Private Life With Prince, Wild ‘Purple Rain’ Parties

“In honor of Prince’s birthday, Escovedo exclusively released her incendiary, seven-minute long rendition of “America.” She also spoke with Rolling Stone in a lengthy conversation about her personal relationship with Prince, what their kismet bond taught her about love and loss – and the time she made him crack up at his birthday party.

In honor of Prince’s birthday, do you have any favorite birthdays you celebrated on the road?

Oh gosh, there were so many birthdays. One year, for mine – this is on the Purple Rain Tour – Prince canceled one of the Chicago dates just so we could have a party for me. It was at this place called Park West. He bought me another mink coat – I already had two or three already because that was the whole “Glamorous Life” thing. They had these big gigantic blimp things flying in the club. We stayed up all night, talking and laughing.

For his birthday on that tour, it was a costume party. I think he was like a pirate or something. But I dressed up as a guy. I went to a cosmetic place and got the fake mustache, side burns and chest hair with the spirit gum – it’s like a glue – and a wig. It looked so real. At the party, Prince was looking for me and I walked by him I don’t know how many times [laughs]. He did not know it was me. At one point, the band is jamming and I took one of the saxophones and hit a few notes – I can’t really play, but I know a couple of James Brown licks – and then Prince turns around and is like ‘Who’s playing saxophone?’ When he saw me, he fell on the floor laughing. He laughed so hard. He could not stop. He looked at me like, 'I can’t believe that you did that.’ That’s what I used to do make him laugh – crazy things like that.”
