Best Ego Trip

Everyone knows somebody with a story about watching Elvis pump gas at a Texaco station in Albuquerque or Jimmy Hoffa batting cleanup for the Savannah Sand Gnats or the Virgin Mary making an appearance in his gravy at a Cracker Barrel in Dumfries, Virginia. But tall tales are even more incredible when they come in elfin packages and waltz through the door of Recycled Sounds in Westport, as Prince did before his May 4 show at Kemper Arena. His Purpleness reportedly browsed the aisles, purchased some posters (of himself) and mildly scolded an employee about the store's stock of Prince bootlegs before sashaying out the door and into local Hey, remember that time when... folklore.
