Prince And The Greatest Super Bowl Press Conference
It’s always up for debate about the greatest halftime performance at the Super Bowl – Stones here in Detroit (not bad at all), Springsteen (good), Aerosmith/Brittney Spears (remember that one)….but what about Prince performing “Purple Rain” in the rain – magical experience. But have you seen what he did at the press conference? He figured out a way to skip answering questions from the reporters – with a 12 minute jam. Freakin’ awesome.
It’s always interesting when you see people react to Prince and his music – and his love for all music. The jam session at the 2001 Rock Hall is still one of the most amazing performances I’ve ever seen.
