Oh, what a show. What a show today we have. Kind of a sad show. A little melancholy here today. But still, I don't want you to get too down. It's kind of a celebration, a remembrance. The first part of the show we're going to talk about Prince. Sadly, the rock superstar, the talented, talented singer, songwriter, musician passed away very, very recently, and I'd like to reflect on who he was, what he did, how he impacted my life, maybe how he touched your life, and I'm even going to talk about

my one and only real-time physical encounter with Prince, me and Prince in a very private moment, actually came face to face, and I'm going to share that with you. as we discuss his life. And then the second half of the show, on a more uplifting note, we're going to talk about Earth Day, which just passed. We're going to have a naturalist in, a guy named Carmen Rain Shadow will be in, to talk about Earth Day to celebrate Earth, this great planet we live on, and that should be very uplifting and illuminating.

So a mixture of both the yin and the yang right here on the Harland Highway. What am I? What is this? Some kind of a joke or something? Welcome to the Harland Highway. What you're talking about Williams? Son, you got a panty on your head. Shut up and sit down, you big ball fuck.

Come on now Purple rain on now put your hands together oh yes poor prince the prince has passed away a true original ladies and gentlemen um you know

you hold a guy like prince up to a lot of today's current stars the Carrie Underwoods the Katie Perrys the people that were created in a boardroom the people that were created on American Idol no disrespect

well maybe a little disrespect you know this is a guy that just it's like I've told you before real rock and roll real soulful rock and roll real true rock and roll comes from people who dug it out

who felt it in their bones who had the rock and roll in them right here's a here's a young kid print who grew up in a rural community in Minnesota the turbulent upbringing with divorcing parents parents that had drinking issues emotional issues and then all this turmoil prints goes inside himself and finds music and starts writing his father, a musician and a jazz band.

And, you know, this is just a grassroots rock and roll legend. And we all know his music. I think we all know a place, a point in time where Prince songs filled our lives. Prince songs were part of the soundtrack in the back of our heads. I know for a fact that I remember going through one of my first big true loves in life and one of my worst breakups in life was with this album, Purple Rain, playing in the background. I remember my first job. my first job I got once I got out of college

when I officially stepped out of college and into the rat race I remember day two of my job I was a bus boy at a deli and I hated the job so much that the boss came up to me and said Harlan would you like to go on a break and I said yes I would and yes what I did I left I went downtown on the subway went to a movie theater and watched Purple Rain on the screen all by myself. And so Prince was kind of there at the beginning of me becoming an adult,

of me stepping out of adolescence and into manhood, to stepping out of being a college student and jumping into the rat race. And Prince was right there while all this was happening as I was starting my career in stand-up when I was trying to get my footing to get my feet running on the ground when I was going through an intense relationship with my college sweetheart that, you know, when you're young, you don't really understand love, or maybe you do, or I don't know, there was so many conflicting things. And, oh, just some turbulent times, some amazing times.

And Prince was a part of it for me. And I struggled with Prince at first because when he first kind of broke on the scene, he was very effeminate, and he wore fishnet stockings and lingerie and garter belts, and it just turned me off. Because I was like a guy's guy. You know, I was into Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath

and Jimmy Hendricks and Van Halen. And all of a sudden my little sister's putting up posters of this guy. who looks like he's half black, half white. He's got this greasy little mustache. He's got oily hair. He wears eye shadow. He's wearing purple.

He's got fishnet stockings on. She's putting posters as this guy up on her wall in her bedroom. And I'm like, what the hell's wrong with my sister? Right away, I was worried about her. And I was kind of repulsed by this guy because you got to remember when this was all happening way back, I guess it was the, must have been the mid-80s, the early 80s, mid-80s. You know, the whole gay thing was still very taboo. People weren't openly out, and I'm not saying Prince was gay,

but the way he looked, the way he carried himself is kind of a feminine voice, his wardrobe. It certainly led one to believe he was gay, but I don't think that he was. But what do I know? Maybe he was. maybe he was by he seems like the kind of adventurous, eclectic guy that might have tried it all, but I don't know, I'm just guessing.

So anyways, I was kind of like turned off by this guy and then all of a sudden I started to hear his music. And I started to hear his sound, and I started to hear the details, and I started to hear the pitch in his voice and the range that he had and the lyrics to his songs. And he drew me in.

And I found myself, you know, not concerning myself with all those other elements that had got in my way. As a young guy in his early 20s who was, you know, new to the whole idea of, you know, the world of cross-dressing and effeminate men and gayness and all that stuff was just that that was. That was something kind of new to guys of my age from my generation. But as a testament to his talent, I overlooked all that stuff and got totally absorbed in Prince's music and his sound and his whole vibe. And I remember he came to Toronto early on, and I was really torn. I was going to go see him. He was playing at a place called Maple Leaf Gardens,

a big hockey arena. I'm like, I'm going to go see this guy. I ought to be one of those guys that, you know, 30 years from now can say, oh, I saw Prince live. And you know what? Because I was a little confused about what his whole vibe was, I never went that, and I probably couldn't really afford it. But I always regretted not going to see Prince in concert

because I think that was my one and only chance to get to see him play. and it would have been all the Purple Rain stuff. This was right at the crest of Purple Rain. The movie was out, the album was out, the music was playing nonstop. And so Prince, you know, this is a guy who was putting out a, you know, a new hit every year. And so as my years went along, so did Prince's songs go along. And they were with me through college. His songs were with me after college.

His songs were coming out when I first moved to Los Angeles and made the transition from Canada to Hollywood. He was still putting out new songs. And, you know, I always had his music playing on my cassette tape collection, if you can believe it. And now as I'm an older guy, I still have them in my playlists on my digital devices. So Prince, you know, now that's, now that's, now that, that he's gone, I look back and

go, wow, this guy was a big factor in my life. And regardless of what he was in my life, I think it's easy to say. It's safe to assume that this guy was a raw talent. A raw talent that had the goods

100% and influenced people and impacted people. And he was a risk taker, and he created his own sound that was imitated by many. He created his own vibe in a world in a competitive marketplace where it's not easy to cut out your own identity and Prince did this very successful and his movie Purple Rain that was his movie I think he wrote

it he wrote he did all the music he won an Oscar for the music I mean the guy was just a mega talent he was a mysterious man which I liked which I think is is the key to being a lasting star. I think anyone can, you know, a lot of people can be a star, but I find it's the most mysterious and elusive celebrities that seem to last forever, like Johnny Carson and Marlon Brando and Jack Nicholson and Brad Pitt and Sean Penn, these people that are kind of standoffish because they leave an air of mystery,

people crave more of them. And I think Prince accomplished that. So very sad. Rest in peace, Prince. Might I say thank you for all the joy, all the emotion, all the music, all the passion, all the artistry, all of what you brought into my life. I always knew it was there, but sadly now that you've passed, it's all the more glaring. And it's really sad. You know, just not too long ago, I did a tribute show to David Bowie.

And now here I am, you know, two months later, doing a tribute to Prince. So I'll tell my quick print story. I've told it before on the podcast, but I think it bears repeating here real quick. I'll do a more condensed version. but I actually did have a run in with Prince, and it was a rather funny one. I was out one night with a bunch of my friends. My castmates from a movie called Sorority Boys, this was in the 90s, and we'd been shooting the movie Sorority Boys, me and Michael Rosenbaum and Barry Watson,

the three main cast members, my co-stars, and we were hanging out. We decided to go out clubbing and partying on the weekend, and we went out to the hot club in Hollywood. I can't remember what it was called. But Michael knew the door person and the person running the club. And so we got in and we got the VIP treatment and all this. And the club was packed.

And I got a little overwhelmed. They got a little, you know, exhausted from all the pressing and the closeness and all the dancing. And there was tons of beautiful women and people dancing and great energy. And so I decided. to take the club up on their VIP offer and I went to the VIP section and I just watched everybody dance. I stood there and I had the VIP section all to myself. Nobody else in there. This was a space that was probably, you know, 20 feet long and, you know, nine feet deep, full of chairs, cushy chairs and security guards. No one was allowed in there unless they were VIP.

And that night, because I was out with my friends and we were just having a goof, I put some buck teeth in, like some, they were kind of like Austin Powers style fake buck teeth.

I stuck them in my mouth and I thought, I'm going to just. wear them all night and be a goofball and, you know, just mess with people. So here I was in the VP section all by myself. There's like a thousand people raging out on the dance for the music's pumping. I'm sitting there with my teeth, having a beer, enjoying the free space around me. All of a sudden, the security guards part, these big security guards and black, you know, dress jackets and black pants. And all of a sudden this guy walks in in kind of a weird, funky suit and, you know, he's got a hairdo, and he's kind of a smallish guy.

And he goes and he walks across and he sits down beside me about, I don't know, eight feet away maybe. And I'm sitting there and I look over and I, I'm like, wait a minute, who is that? And then he sat down and what was interesting is he sat down and he turned his back on the whole crowd. The VIP section kind of hung out over the dance floor and was raised up about three feet. So you're kind of in this prime position where you could see everybody and everyone could see you. And this guy went right to the edge of the VIP railing and sat down with his back to the crowd. And I thought, wow, this guy's got a little attitude. And then I looked, and I'm like, my God, it's Prince.

Here it was Prince, this musician that I loved. And he kind of does this thing where he turns his back on everyone. And he was just staring at the wall. And I was like, wow. And so I'm sitting there with my crazy Austin Powers buck teeth having a beer. And Princesses. in there all alone and I guess curiosity got the better of Prince and slowly but surely Prince with those big kind of cat-like eyes that he has and his kind of subtle slow demeanor

his sensual kind of soft demeanor he slowly turns his head towards me and his big kind of cat-like eyes rolled towards me and he stares right into my face and I'm staring back and I smile and of course my lips open up and reveal these big giant goofy the fuck teeth

these Austin Powers rotten stained teeth and I'm just smiling and I see his big you know he already has kind of big eyes but he's got the eye shadow and everything I just see them go bigger like like he's seen a ghost

or that looks you get in your eye when you realize there's a train coming at you on the train track and he just the alarm and the confusion and the just the the uncertainty that filled prince's eyes was a picture worth a million words and and i just remember him stare and we held this stare and he looked at me almost half terrified and then slowly just kind of the stare faded and he slowly turned back and just stared up at the wall and I'll never forget it because it wasn't just a stare where he stared and he looked away quickly it was a stare you know how you stare people and you connect you visually connect and there's an energy that passes and that was it here was me with my crazy

rotten Austin Powers teeth here's this delicate, kind of elusive, legendary, iconic rock star who's very private and mysterious and walked into the VIP booth, probably trying to make a statement and turn his back on everyone and kind of say, hey, Prince is here. I'm the cool guy. Nobody messes with me. Nobody even looks at Prince. And then he turns and looks at me, you know, six foot two doofus. with, you know, Bubba teeth, crazy catfish

Bubba teeth just grinning at him. And it was a priceless moment. And, of course, it was not meant, it was, there was no disrespect. I mean, Prince was just, he was the victim of circumstance. You know, on any other given night, I don't have crazy buck teeth in,

but on that night, he turned and got a face full of crazy buck teeth. And maybe he deserved it. It might be fair to say he was being a little snobby, a little, a little pompous maybe to the rest of the people there. I know that was his vibe, but maybe it was kind of fitting that him in his eloquence, in his little moment of, I am greater than thou, he got confronted by, you know, Johnny Bucktooth sitting right beside him in this place that was reserved for the elite. This was a area that was roped off, chained off for the special people. No one should have been in that space, but special people. Not a guy with big giant gopher teeth.

So I remember that encounter with Prince Fonley. My only interaction with him, I wish I'd gone and seen him in Toronto live. But I'm happy that I did get one intimate moment. And Prince, I knew that Prince existed on this planet, and Prince likewise knew that I existed on this planet. I mean, I'm assuming he's probably seen some of my movies and stuff like that, but the fact that there was a true live moment between me and someone who I admired so much sits real well with me. So, Prince, if you're up in heaven and you're listening, that was me, dude. I love you. Rest in peace, Prince.

I'm so sad that you are gone. that you are gone so early in life we thank you for your wonderful gifts we thank you for your magic uh you are you are truly missed and um rest in peace and uh i think there's more than just doves crying now that you are gone I never meant to call you when your sorrow. I never meant you called you when you're tallow. I never meant you called you when you're pain. I don't want to want to see you laughing.

Oh, you want to see you laughing in the purple rain. Okay, there it is. A little goodbye to print. But let's move on. Life carries on. And also, just late last week was Earth Day. So, you know, we give tribute to our planet. And this is exciting, you know, because, you know, just the prince passed away,

but life keeps going, things keep growing, new people come along, and et cetera, and et cetera. And maybe it's fitting that it was just recently Earth Day, and we have a special guest in the studio. Let me make sure I get this name right. Is it Carmine Rain Shadow? Yes, that is correct. Rain Shadow. Well, it's great to have you here, Carmine, and Earth Day.

Now, I understand that you are a naturalist or someone who loves the outdoors. You are, I don't know if I can say it. I don't want to offend you, but the term, the slang term, is a tree hugger. Yes, well, don't be afraid. to use that term. It's absolutely accurate. I am a tree hugger. It's not a term that I'm ashamed of. It's not a term that I'm embarrassed by. I am a avid lover of nature, and if you want to know, Harland, I actually have no objection to hugging a tree. Well, that's admirable. I'm a nature lover, two, and you'll never get any flack from a guy like me about loving nature. So tell us a little

about what Earth Day is all about. Well, absolutely, Ireland. What we do is we celebrate our planet. We celebrate Mother Earth. We all have our biological mothers, but our organic mother, as I refer to her, is our wonderful round planet with its teeming oceans. It's lush forests, it's majestic mountain peaks, and all the flora and fauna that fill this planet that inhabit this fertile orb on which we all live. Wow, very well-spoken, Carmine. And what is your message to people listening regarding our planet? Well, it's a very good question, Arland. And it's a, you know, our planet is a very delicate, delicate place.

Everything works together so intricately. And I would just remind people to love their planet, nurture their planet, show the respect and care to this planet, this Mother Earth, if you will, that you would show towards your own biological mother. You know, that is absolutely beautiful. I'm glad you said that. And this is interesting. Now, you brought in as part of your Earth Day celebration.

You brought in, it looks like a small tree. I see that our staff was able to get it on the freight elevator and roll it up here on some dollies. This thing's about, what is that, about seven feet? It's actually seven and a half feet tall Harland. It's a potted juvenile giant redwood tree. Wow, I've been to the giant redwood forest. Well, then you've almost been to heaven because those magnificent trees, there's nothing like them in the world.

Well, I'll agree with you there, Carmine. They're just, I think they're the largest trees in the world when they hit maturity. Absolutely. They are the giants, the dinosaurs of the plant world, and boy, oh, boy. Do I love them? Yeah, I bet. Now, when you brought this in as I wanted you to see it,

I wanted you to feel it, I wanted you to take in the aroma of a real living, breathing, organic tree. This is Earth Day, but these trees live to be thousands of years old, Harlan, and, you know, it's more than just Earth Day. It's earth century after century, after millennia, and it just goes on for eternity. Well, boy, oh boy, you certainly are passionate about Earth Day, and it is a beautiful specimen.

I mean, it's just a beautiful, tall, staturess tree, the nice red bark, the emerald green, are they needles? It's more of a fur tree. They aren't needles as much as they are fermentations of the pine family. Oh, okay. I'm not sure I know what that is, but, well, you know, leave that to me and you talk into your thing. Oh, okay. So you brought the tree in and you say that you don't mind the term tree hugger?

Absolutely not, Arland. I love all bushes. trees, plants. In fact, I love this bush right here. Earth Day is to show our love for nature. And so you brought the tree in and you thought it would be nice for everyone to see it, everyone to look at it, everyone to pour their love on it. Absolutely. As you know, I'm, as you said, Harlan, quite accurately, I'm a tree hugger. And if you don't mind, I would like to hug this tree. Oh, that, well, that's cool. Yeah, well, I mean, it makes sense.

You know, hey, why not? It's Earth Day hug the tree, right? Absolutely. Let me just get over here and, oh, there we go. Just wrap my arms around it and just look at this. Just hold onto this tree. Just love the tree. Yeah, you're really clutching it there.

Really, really, you know what, it's interesting. I can see, almost feel the raw emotion coming through you. This is almost spiritual for you, isn't it, Carmine? Absolutely. The attachment I have to, you know, hugging the tree is just the beginning. Oh, okay. What do you mean by that? Well, when I say I love a tree, love is a very deep-rooted,

and pardon that pun, is a deep-rooted emotion. Well, that's true. And love to show your love for something. It obviously, as we know, goes far beyond hugging. Okay, and what does that mean exactly? Well, if you don't mind, I'd like to take my pants off here. I'm sorry? I'm just going to unzip my pants here and get them out of the way.

What are you doing, Carmine? I'm going to take my pants off and I'm going to love this tree. Okay, what, oh my God, your pants are off. Yes, and now I'm getting back with the tree. Okay, you're wrapping your legs around the tree and what, whoa, what are you doing? I'm loving the tree. Wait a minute, wait a minute, Carmine, what are you? Oh, my God, the bark.

What is he doing, Roger? Are you? Oh, yes. Yeah, that's it. When the bow breaks, the baby will fall. What is he doing? What are you doing? I am loving this tree right now.

Oh, God. Oh, oh, yes. Carmine, are you... Do you have a wreck? Are you... Is he having sexual intercourse with that tree, Roger? Oh, God. God, this is good.

I am loving this tree. Oh, my God. Oh, what, where is he putting his thing? It's a knot hole. Oh, there's a knot. I think there's a woodpecker nest in here. Oh, oh, oh, God, give it to me. Give it to me, baby.

Give it. Oh, that's a good girl, yeah. Johnny Redwood, Johnny Redwood. Yeah. Why are you calling it Johnny Redwood? I don't know. Maybe it's a guy. tree. It could be a guy or a girl. I don't care. I'm open about this stuff. It's all about love.

So you're, excuse me, Carmine, you're having sexual intercourse with a seven-foot redwood tree in my office. It could be a guy or a girl because it's Earth Day. Oh, yeah, come and get it. Johnny Redwood. Johnny Redwood likes to get a woodpecker on it. Uh, knock, knock, knock, Who's there? Johnny. Johnny who? Johnny Woodpecker. E.

Okay, get him out. Get him out. This is disgusting. Oh, yeah. Come on, Johnny. Johnny here's Johnny. Get him out. Get him out.

I'm sorry. I can stop. Is this making you uncomfortable? Yes. It's making me uncomfortable. This is Earth Day, and you're copulating with a tree in my studio. Well, I told you, I'm a tree hugger. I'm beyond a tree hugger.

I'm a tree fucker. Carmine, look, I understand your passion. I understand your affinity for our planet, for the natural things that grow here, but I think there's got to be a limit here. Well, I don't know if there should be. Have you ever felt? your ball sack rub up against giant redwood bark oh come on come on johnny redwood oh god it feels like old lady's fingernails tickling the back of my bag meat oh johnny redwood stop stop stop i don't want to hear any more
