Prince was invited on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on February 26, 2004. He was there to discuss his return to touring with the Musicology album. He told Jay Leno that this tour was about bringing back “real music”. This tour was a chance to show what actual musical skill looked like.
Prince said that “Musicology” means the study of music before the rise of deep religious ideas. He made a clear point that the tour was for everyone. He wanted families to attend, especially if they had “little musicians”. He hoped to inspire these children so they would not just become “computer programmers in the future”. He was showing his love for instruments and live playing.
Prince explains to Jay Leno why it was important to make the Musicology tour for the whole family.
Fans who watched his interview and attended the shows share great memories. One viewer commented that the concerts were “awesome” and full of “real music by real musicians.” Another fan told a story of being upgraded to the “purple section” right in front of the stage. People saw Prince as a true artist who knew what was coming next in the world. He remains a genius to many people.
Prince explained his strong message about music on TV, but he gave the world the song to prove his point. The Musicology song is the sound of his mission. It is a funky mix of soul and dance music that demanded attention. This song was the perfect follow-up to his ideas about musicianship.
