David Spade wasn't on SNL in 1989. I didn't consider myself a longtime hardcore Prince but maybe I am because I remember that actually happening in like 95. I was real excited that Prince was gonna be on there and remember being confused when (was it Blues Traveler) showed up. That was the days before I had the internet so I couldn't be kept up to date. Anyway his kid was battling for his life and David Spade was a real prick for commenting on it when he didn't have the facts straight. That stupidity should be thrown in David Spade's face whenever he gets out of line.

I'd LOVE to see Prince drop by Donatella Versace's crib!

Maya Rudolph RULES!!

It WAS in 1995, can we all agree on that?

And all Spade did was refer to him as "the artist formerly booked on this show, but flaked on us." This is such a big deal? We're all so hurt by this that David Spade is now a "hatefull" prick who can't get his "facts straight", and he was never funny, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc....Put down your rattle and take a nap.

It was Sepember 2nd 1995.
An announced performance by and the NPG on Saturday Night Live on Sepember 2nd (1995) was cancelled. NBC wanted to give them a copy of the song lyrics for the censors to go over. He refused, then Saturday Night Live countered by telling him that in that case he would have to lip-synch. This was the reason for the final pull-out. A press release said it was for "personal reasons".
This is news from Uptown #21 Winter 1995.

Prince censors himself now thanks 2 Larry Graham and his Jehovah's Witness agenda bullshit. He's lyrics where very explicit in '95: Pussy Control, Billy Jack Bitch, etc.
