Checked my CD interview Detroit was not mentioned in the original interview,
it was uptown.
"Prince" was talking about Minneapolis or Minne-Wood, (Because of Princes
influence, Minneapolis became known as Minne-wood), place where "Prince"
grew up.
Here a part of the interview.
MOJO: Growin' up in Minne-wood, as it's been now called, simply because that
is the hot point on this planet right now.
PRINCE: Well, it's been called a lot of things, but it's always Uptown to
me.
MOJO: Uptown?
PRINCE: Yes.
MOJO: What was it like growin' up Uptown?
PRINCE: Pretty different. Uh, kinda sad, to be exact. (laughs) I mean, the
radio was dead, the discos was dead, ladies was kinda dead, so I felt like,
if we wanted to make some noise, and I wanted to turn anything out....I was
gonna have to get somethin' together. Which is what we did. We put together
a few bands and turned it into Uptown. That consisted of a lot of bike
riding nude, but ya know...it worked. We had fun. That's why I wanted to
come here on my birthday...'cuz I wanted to give them a little taste of
where we live and get a little taste of where you all live. To me, this is
like my second home. If I could spend the night at somebody's crib, I
would...'cuz this hotel.... They're real nice to us, but, this bed is hard!
P.S. : On the eve of his birthday in 1985, Prince gave a surprise interview
to legendary Detroit disc jockey the Electrifying Mojo. He had never offered
a live radio interview before.

KDJ 30 ... J.A.N. EP one-sided.
Samples Mojo's questions to Prince in a 1986 on-air interview, but not
Prince's answers.
You can tell it's spliced together, as you hear Mojo ask "What was it like
growing up ... *from* Detroit." :)
