Die Macht der großen Zahlen...oder wie man sich als Manager eine Millionen-Abfindung holt

Ready for His New Evolution


After a decade spent tending almost only to his faithful, Prince has had a revelation. He's supposed to be a rock-'n'-roll star

Shortly after he signed a $60 million contract with Warner Bros. in 1992, Prince scrawled the word slave on his face, changed his name to a symbol and announced that he was retiring from recorded music. The problem was that he had a backlog of 450 songs he felt the world wanted to hear, and Warner Bros. simply refused to flood the market with that much product. Commercial suicide, the company said. In one of his last public acts before locking himself away in Paisley Park, his hermitage just west of Minneapolis, Minn., Prince stood before an awards-show audience and prophesied in his little whisper, "Perhaps one day, all the powers that are will realize that it is better to let a man be all that he can be than to try to limit his output to just what they can handle."

1991 interview offered look into mind of a rising rock star


Kurt Cobain was eating lunch at his mom's house in Aberdeen when I called to interview him for a story on a show coming up about week later — Halloween night — at the Paramount Theatre.

It was Oct. 23, 1991, shortly after "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was released as a single. "Nevermind," the album it came from, had been out for a month but had not yet charted. The single was mainly what I wanted to talk about, because it was the best rock song I'd heard in years. Neither one of us knew then, of course, that it was about to profoundly change his life, and the history of rock 'n' roll.
