Ya let me add 2 that. The song was written after Susannah left Prince (1986). Prince then went 2 the studio and started constructing a song around a melancholy piano pattern. Wally Stafford, a dancer in the band. Prince asked Wally 2 borrow $50 and some sunglasses so he can impress his lover, but changes his mind and returns the items, telling Wally that sinse he is alone now, he has no one 2 spend it on. Prince then started adding instruments to the song destroying it.lol Prince then demands 4 the song to b erased, saying that if they didn't..he would! Wally a song no1 would hear. smile


I bet he dubbed it on a cassette tape before he erased the master copy. That tape is probably on the vault floor collecting dust in the corner somewhere! lol


By now it'd be so gummed up, you couldn't tell anyhow.

Does anyone remember in 1996 Prince talked about finishing his project called "The Dawn?" I remember reading an interview where he talked about a song that he almost put on Emancipation, but then decided to keep it for the Dawn because it was "too good." The article declared "The Dawn" as his ultimate statement. Who can tell me more? Thanks!

MsJamieStarr

I have a mystery 2 add...

Did he ever actually believe that either Mayte could sing or Carmen could rap?

I know there is the obvious answer of "No way, it was just a part of his grand design of seduction 2 work on an album with whoever he was sleeping with at the time" but I don't think that behavior is very Prince-like. I don't believe he would take time away from working on his own music 2 work with someone he didn't respect musically. So that leads me back 2 my question...

Did he think anything from "Carmen Electra - Self-Titled" or "Mayte - Child Of The Sun" was vocally pleasant (the music goes without saying...if he had a hand in it, it was ALLright smile)?

hmph! purple bitch.....



Dammit! Now I'm curious.....


If it exists, I figure that it's actually something really personal, and that he wouldn't want anything he said to come back at him or be criticized for any of it, so he doesn't want it opened 'til after he's dead. Either that, or it's a tape of Prince laughing his ass off at us because everything -the songs, the odd behaviour, everything -was all some grand joke meant to keep us guessing, when it really all meant nothing.


yea but y 200 yrs? y we ALL gotta b dead b4 that thing if it exists gets released?

like i said...purple bitch!
Yesterday is dead...tomorrow hasnt arrived yet....i have just ONE day...
...And i'm gonna be groovy in it!

With all the tapings of the Musicology tour. Does he really realize the dollar potential of releasing all these videos?
(Although this may be a bit early, because he could be (GOD FORBID) editing as we speak)

And why did he cut the Alladin video down to 88 mins when the show was apx. 3 hours long?
