“After we made #music together, we started hanging out. #Prince would call me at all hours. He’d never go to sleep. I’d go: ‘I’m the one on drugs, you ain’t!’ But he’d ask me to come over in the middle of the night, and we’d just talk.” - #GeorgeClinton www.theguardian.com/music/2026/a... #MusicSky
