The Night Mick j. stood up for Prince
Prince was the opening act for the  Rolling Stones at the LA Coliseum.  He was not well-known on the West Coast, and when he took the stage wearing a bikini top, G-String, & Black  Boots.  Some started shouting slurs at him, others were throwing bottles, and there was a chorus of loud boos  Prince walked off the stage and vowed he would never return. 

Mick Jagger knew he had to help Prince get back on stage, even after the traumatic event, or it could  ruin his career. Before Prince took the stage, Mick J. spoke to the audience in a way that felt like it was one-on-one. He told them how the experience really shook him up and rocked his confidence, and asked the audience if they liked what they heard, would they be willing to stand up and cheer? The audience. affirmed that they would, and Prince took the stage, played with power, precision, and emotion, and the crowd rose up to give him a standing ovation. 

[Verse 1]
He was the opener for the Rolling Stones,
 On the West Coast Prince was not well-known.
 He took the stage in trench coat, black boots, and G-String-bikini—
 The crowd raged, hurled bottles full-fling at this loco wah-hee-nee.

The exploding bottles and slurs of HATRED
 Were defiling the stage, a place Prince felt sacred.

[Pre-Chorus 1]
He fled the stage, vowed to never return—
Mick J. rang, said, “There’s cheers, there’s burn.”

[Chorus]
How do you stand where your soul got stoned?
How do you dance where the hate got thrown?
Takes one voice on the line sayin’, “Kid, don’t flinch—
Wear your boots, wear your truth, don’t you move an inch.”
Mick talked to the crowd like it was one-to-one
and they finally realized what they’d done—
That was the night the crowd stood up,
the night Mick stood up for Prince.

[Verse 2]
Two nights later, same coliseum stage,
 Prince shook hard, trapped inside that rage.
 Flashbacks hit like fists he couldn’t block,
 his chest was tight, heart ticking like a clock.

The fear came fast, the dread came slow—
 old ghosts whispered, “don’t you go.”

[Verse 3]
Then Mick walked in, said, “Kid, you’re not done yet,”
 “Don’t let their hate be the thing you let set.”
 “What Friday broke, tonight we make right,”
 “We’re taking back what’s yours under these lights.”

His voice cut clean through Prince’s fright—
 “No more running… stand and fight.”

[Pre-Chorus 2]
“You won’t face this alone again—
 I’ll make damn sure they rise.”
 Prince nodded once, still terrified,
 but fire returned behind his eyes.

[Chorus]
How do you stand
 where your heart got crushed?
 How do you walk back in
 when the memories rush?

Sometimes it takes a brother
 to lift you back up—
 that’s the night they all stood,
 the night Mick stood up.

[Bridge]
Prince stepped out slow, the crowd fell quiet,
 every eye locked on the stage’s light.
 Mick watched from the wings and murmured,
 “Go on now—take back your night.”

[Final Chorus]
So Prince walked out
 to a steady roar—
 the same old stage
 that hurt before.

A healing wave
 rose from the crowd up—
 on the night the wound closed,
 the night Mick stood up.
unding redemption told in electric color.
