Prince on chemtrails and eight Presidents before George Washington.

Prince made a rare television appearance in 2009. Discussed misinterpreted lyrics, why he doesn’t vote and other insights that could only come from the mind of the man who brought you Purple Rain. One of the strangest moments in the interview comes when Prince is talking about “Dreamer,” an ode to comedian Dick Gregory that features on LOtUSFLOW3R, and brings up “chemtrails,” the conspiracy theory that argues jets drop chemicals through their smoky exhaust.

Prince: "When I found out that there was eight Presidents before George Washington, I wanted to smack somebody."
