ANECDOTE

Dream With Russell Crowe And Prince's Body

  • The dream becomes a device to explore projection, embarrassment, and why he judges Prince's Paisley Park house.
INSIGHT

Why Paisley Park Was Deliberately Unhomely

  • Blindboy argues Prince made Paisley Park feel like an office/backstage to prevent homesickness from constant touring and waiting around on the road.
  • He links design choices (carpet, doors, exits) to a musician's need to normalise tour environments at home.

  • He uses the anecdote to show celebrity attempts at anonymity can fail and become local lore.
