Guardian tracks down some tales and old friends of Clegg to find out what the deputy PM got up to in his years studying in the US.
The article starts off with his internships in the 90s and road trips with Louis Theroux, but then goes into when Clegg followed Prince around.
""religiously" following Prince from gig to gig in his royal purpleness's home town.
"I wasn't what you'd call a groupie," Clegg recalled, "but I did spend a whole year following him around . . . Once I spent all night drinking in a bar waiting for him, before eventually giving up and going home."-Guardian
Other than stalking Prince, the Guardian talks to an old friend of Clegg who mentions the views on Regan, transcendental meditation and interests in the American environmental activism.
"He said something like, 'Margaret Thatcher couldn't get away with what Reagan has done.'""-Guardian
