Soul Asylum Going Loony Toons
Prince and-Soul Asylum’s Dave Pirner have a lot more in common than one might think. First off, they’re both from Minneapolis, and secondly, they're both notorious for copping Elvis moves. Prince is the "angry little man," a prissy with an attitude, and Soul Asylum’s guitarist/vocalist Pirner wrote the book on precocious sexuality, whipping around a scraggly, wild mane and gyrating like the King in a beer-drenched backscrub bar.
