About this episode
This week, we’re diving deep into the purple legacy with a true pioneer of the Minneapolis Sound: Matt "Dr. Fink" Prince. As the longtime keyboardist for Prince and an original member of The Revolution, Dr. Fink was a key architect of the sonic landscapes behind some of Prince’s most groundbreaking work — from *Dirty Mind* and *1999* to *Purple Rain* and beyond. In this candid conversation, Matt shares firsthand stories from the studio and the stage: what it was like to collaborate with Prince at the peak of his creative powers, how The Revolution came together, and the moments that defined an era. We talk about the iconic look (yes, the scrubs), cool tales of the live shows (including opening for the Rolling Stones), the evolution of Prince’s sound, and what it meant to be part of a musical movement that broke boundaries across genre, race, and style. Whether you're a die-hard Prince fan or just curious about one of the most influential bands in pop music history, this episode is packed with insight, stories, and behind-the-scenes details you won’t hear anywhere else.
