i do not think it was a racial issue at all, journey was booed non stop start to finish at the tour opener in philly 1981 and in between songs steve perry from journey kept thanking the crowd for making journey's album #1 on the charts .go figure.
i asnt there, but i agree it wasnt racial. if i emember right, iggy opened in pontiac 81 and got booed for wearing some kind of a dress... santana was 2nd and was received much more favorably.Quote

It wasn't racial. Prince turned up to play a show to boozed up, red blooded Stones fans in the sheerest bikini briefs and make-up ... What worked on a Rick James tour wasn't going to work there.

I think that came from a RS interview with Clapton (probably 92/93 ish). He said that he and Keith were debating whether Prince was important musically. Keith believed he was not and went on to prove it to him, so he gave him the watch. Something along those lines.

Keith referred to it in an interview with Q magazine around the time 'Talk is Cheap', I think. He didnt mention any specific details about what the bet was about. The same interview where he ludicrously referred to Prince as a 'talentless midget'.

Thanks Gazza, I do enjoy the fact that Keith mouths off, whether a popular opinion or not, I get tired of all the civil posing about how they all get along so much when they don't. Will be interesting to see if he revisits these things in the book.

Lord knows those "red-blooded" Stones fans didn't pay to see any men on stage wearing make-up.

That's his bullshit way of saying "It's different when Mick does it" ...

How so, Nickolai?
