Prince for Prez.

I started my last job on this day and I just KNEW that had to be a good sign.

Boy, was I wrong !

This lyric makes me sad, as well.

November 4, 1982 is the day actress Dominique Dunne (Poltergeist) succumbed to fatal injuries inflicted by her abusive boyfriend, John Sweeney.

So two actresses from Poltergeist had sudden deaths ?

fleshofyourflesh said:

Lots of weird stuff surrounds the Poltergeist franchise. Many feel that there is a curse.

squirrelgrease said:

same with The Omen.

loads of weird shit & deaths surrounding that too.

and The Exorcist, come to think of it.

TheFrog said:

What happened with the Omen and the Exorcist?
I only know about Poltergeist.

fleshofyourflesh said:

- yes, I only know about Poltergeist too...could someone explain?
Thanks

GustavoRibas said:

Dear Frog - we haven't left our house in 6 days now.
Can you please tell us wtf you are talking about?



Oh, and thanks.

I always found it strange that he said "it's time for jazz to die" but later in years, he brought jazz into his music?

Clearly, a young'n like Prince in '82 just couldn't get hip to the jazz...

Thank god the man came around...

That's when he messed up. He should have stuck to his word.

fleshofyourflesh said:

fucked if i can remember, offhand. i have the omen on dvd and as an extra there's some documentary about the making of it, called 'curse or coincidence' - all about how it seemed 'somebody or something' didn't want the movie to get made people dying etc.

same with the Exorcist. few people died, blah blah.

i'll have to go watch the mini-docs. again before i can give proper details.

Not really. Election day (Presidenctial Election) in the US is always the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, every four years. The date can vary from Nov. 2 to Nov. 9.

November 4, 1980 was a presidential election day, and a certain Ronald McReagan was elected. Since 1999 was released in early 1982, I've always assumed the line was a reference to the election and jab at Mr. McReagan--much more subtle, however, than "Ronnie Talk to Russia," which was penned and released the year before the 1999 album was.

I just read that and all I can say is,

Yeah I remember. November 4th was election day that year and Regan was elected

Or you happen to live in Florida and are one of the many people to be incorrectly (and purposely and systematically) removed from Katherine Harris' infamous voter registration lists.

Like, let's say, the database has you listed as a felon for a crime you will be convicted of in 2007. If you think I'm making this up, find the actual list online. There were numerous people who were denied the right to vote because somehow they were listed as felons for crimes that were to be committed years after Election Day.

As a Florida resident, I sure feel much safer knowing that my state takes such a proactive stance on crime.

Need a purple high, indeed!
