Steve Lukather talks about his encounters with Prince.

[Dr. Cheese]

Here are some more stories of Prince and his dealing with other musicians here.

Not really a fan of Prince for reasons, I won't discuss, Was he still alive when this video came out? He may not take to it too well. I do like "Luke" a lot.

as a guy who had to spend his entire childhood defending a deep love for both Toto AND Prince...I'm going to say that both of these guys are/were geniuses

saw Toto this year. They were absolutely great. Luke was funny. at one point he said "this next song is for all the beautiful women I'll never be with".

I went to a couple of these and always thought it was some other band headlined by one of the original members.

It’s currently Luke and Joseph Williams touring with guys who joined anywhere from 2004 on or so. Apparently Paich isn’t healthy enough to tour but is still around the band. Hungate and Kimball are both fully retired and of very poor health. The Porcaros have passed except Steve who is mostly retired.

Fantastic band but we all get old.

There’s a book called “The Gospel According to Luke”. It’s on my reading list but I haven’t gotten around to it yet.

Its an excellent book, some interesting comments on Louis Johnson in there too.

I may need to find this book.

I think Prince had Luke best here.

I can just Lukather and Ray Parker jr hanging. They are two wicked guitarists.

Lukather is "the man". Phenomenal player and, by all accounts, good dude. Great sense of humor and absolutely hilarious.
