"...We'll call her Monica, if she's funky"

At the 14 August 2004 show in D.C., during "Sign of the Times," Prince sang "...we'll call her Monica, if she's funky." Who is Monica? confuse

He usually referenced John (Blackwell) at that point, but in this show it was different...

probably a friend or a celebrity in the audience

like he'd change up "macy and common" in Mellow
on the ONA tour to say "chilli and usher" or,
"erykah and common" etc
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

I didn't know her name! Well if she was there, then that might explain it...but is she funky? biggrin
