...names have changed but the song remains the same. Prince, also short and mysterious, is the man with the vision. Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, Jesse Johnson, Wendy Melvoin, and Lisa Coleman are among the visionary's close-knit circle of talented friends. Unlikely Minneapolis is the setting and unknown starlet types, mostly Prince's girlfriends, have turned into recording "artists" like Vanity, Appolonia, and Sheila...

A massive traffic jam ensued as astounded motorists abandoned their vehicles to merrily chase the cash. When lawmen arrived and ordered the gleeful pursuers to return the loot, some complied.
