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.

Wipe the purple Prince had his opportunitjjgto play rock ’n’ roll Caligula, the plaidjfraped Pirner has no such intent. He’s||appy with the release of Soul Asylum’||najor label debut, Hang Time. In a surprising flash of keen sense, someone at A&M Records put two and two together and realized that (even by some stroke of weld fate) Soul Asylum couldn’t beat theirfilose, personal friend Prince in record sales. . .but at least the Asylum are way cooler.
