| + | |||
| + | The video was shot in Los Angeles, California over two days in October 2003 and directed by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanaa_Hamri Sanaa Hamri]. It is the first promotional video for a song to feature the full line-up of [[The NPG]] with [[John Blackwell]], [[Rhonda Smith]], [[Renato Neto]], [[Rose Ann Dimalanta|rad.]], [[Greg Boyer]] and [[Maceo Parker]] who went on tour with [[Prince]] for the [[World Tour 2003]] just a week after this shooting. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The storyline for this video is a kind of time travel with a 10-year-old [[Prince]] (played by Lil’ C) in the sixties who is a music lover (apprentice guitarist with posters of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sly_and_the_Family_Stone Sly & The Family Stone] in his bedroom, who also dances with a vaccum-cleaner as a mic stand) and goes to see his favorite artist in concert. Intentionally or not, the video is full of temporal paradox and anachronisms as the kid buys a [[Prince]] 7" record ([[Single: Musicology | Musicology]]) and attends his concert. Wardrobe-wise, as in [[Video: Cream| Cream]], two different styles coexist with the sixties and some contemporary hip hop characters. Among the anachronisms we can note the b-boy stance (during the line about [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_D Chuck D] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jam_Master_Jay Jam Master Jay]) and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirit_(Earth,_Wind_%26_Fire_album) Earth Wind & Fire’s "Spirits" 1976 album]. An autobiographical element is inserted at the end of the video when the father carries his son on his shoulders to put him on the stage for him to dance during the concert. This scene is based on the famous story that his stepdad did the same for a 10-year old [[Prince]] when he took him to see a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Brown James Brown concert] (''"When I was about 10 years old, my stepdad put me on stage with him, and I danced a little bit until the bodyguard took me off."'' - MTV Interview 1985). | ||
