Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis at Red Bull Music Academy

Red Bull has a music academy? WTF?

Anyways...they got Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis to sit down and chat. Whole clip is 2 1/2 hours, the last half hour is questions from the audience. Most of it is about writing, but with a little production talk. I liked all the Prince stuff but a lot of it is pretty well known.
