SHORT TAKES : Prince Prefers His Own Music
- Share via
NEW YORK — Prince enjoys the music of Michael Jackson, MC Hammer, Madonna and even Bruce Springsteen. But the music he likes best is his own.
“I like a lot of people’s music, and I’m interested in what’s going on, but I don’t listen to them,” Prince said in an interview in the Oct. 18 edition of Rolling Stone.
“When I’m getting ready to go out, or driving the car, I listen to my own stuff,” Prince said in the interview, said to be his first in five years. “That’s the way it has always been.”
Springsteen’s rock may seem to have little in common with Prince’s funk, but Prince said he respects the Boss’ talent.
“I admire the way he holds his audience. There’s one man whose fans I could never take away,” he said.
