I originally wrote:
"BTW, did anyone else notice that
after ending both his first set and at the end of WMGGW, Prince threw his
guitar up in the air and quickly walked away, but the guitar never seemed to
fall to Earth. Was this just quick editing or is he using gravity defying
guitars? Or highly trained guitar catchers?"
to which Greg (I think) replied:
"Prince was on Leno tonight, doing an elegant and exquisitely-choreographed
version of "Musicology". At the end, he danced across the set and over to
Leno's desk, tossing his Telecaster to a waiting stagehand without missing a
step. It was a masterful bit of superstar theater -- like watching Sinatra
throw his jacket over his shoulder, light a cig, and stride offstage with
the band still playing behind him."
I have to admit that after seeing Prince on the RRHOF, I immediately went and bought tickets for his Musicology tour when it rolls into Philadelphia this August. With showmanship like that, it has to be an electifying show!
