Any known relevance to #17?

I've been wondering the answer to this since 17 days, if not earlier.
I had actually had asked him when we met at an in-store signing in '94, but I had interrupted (while he sat back and thought of his reply) and said "please tell me I had a dream about it recently...". I must have let him off the hook b/c his reply was (quickly)--"then that's what it means...whatever you dreamt." People--does it really mean dirty underpants?????

I think what he meant is Your reality is what U make of it,
some people have memories attached to certain numbers and it only relates to their own experience....different people different experiences...

I was going to ask this too! There isn't any Numerology significance to the number 17 because numbers are always reduced to single digits, except 11, 22 and 33. 1+7 is 8, and that is the number of regeneration, according to numerology. Maybe he uses it because it's the last year of your youth? 18 is adulthood. 18, are you legal yet? 18 and over. Maybe he just likes the sound of it?

I've also wondered this for sooooo long. I tried to ask it during one of love4oneanother.com's chats or submit a question to prince. Guess what, I'm gonna ask about it Saturday evening at the soundcheck!
