Spike Lee’s Malcom X was the first non-documentary film given permission to shoot on location in Mecca. The things Spike Lee & Denzel Washington did to make this film, I still can’t believe it. They moved mountains. They honored Malcom to the fullest extent. This transcends film.
In 40 years, it had never rained during the Super Bowl. On the day of 41st the heavens opened up and poured down hard.
Because everything on the stage were live instruments and the stage floor was slick with water for he and his dancers, they asked Prince what did he want to do about the performance.
Prince replied, “can you make it rain harder?”
Long live Prince. The greatest halftime performance in Super Bowl history.
