The latest Waxpoetics magazine covers Prince and his impact on music. Articles include interviews and analysis with Frank Ocean, Alan and Gwen Leeds, Larry Graham, Morris Day, Jesse Johnson, Questlove, The Family, and several others.
Not all of the people interviewed are exactly huge Prince fans. Jesse Johnson talks about bringing taped songs of his to audition for Prince who who would listen and immediately break out laughing. Prince would call Morris Day over to listen and they would both have a laughing fit.
In the Larry Graham interview he discusses, or more accurately other people discuss the tensions between him and an increasingly paranoid/coked-out Sly, who allegedly gave the green light to thugs to beat or murder Larry.
Alan Leeds talks of Prince asking him why did people stare at him and not having the guts to tell his boss that "if I encountered a pint-sized rock star in high heels, silk pajamas and a trench coat, I'd probably stare too".
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives." Winter is Coming Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
