Music Critic Recalls His Many Back-and-Forths With Prince
The Star Tribune's Jon Bream first met Prince in the fall of 1977, at a recording studio north of San Francisco.
On several occasions, Star Tribune music critic Jon Bream (pictured) was banned by Prince from the artist’s Glam Slam nightclub in Minneapolis. He was also in the audience of The Arsenio Hall Show in February 1993 when Prince applied lighter fluid to a printout of Bream’s review of the Love Symbol Album during a stage performance of “My Name Is Prince” and set the document on fire.
In a video conversation with Star Tribune features editor Sue Campbell posted today, Bream recalls another funny episode during a last-minute trip he made to Denver in 2013.
