Not feeling it. The current look is too embarrassing. I'll be watching with all 3 of my eyes closed.

Um...Um...


The video is...um....You know that John Cuzack/Demi Moore movie from way back in the day where she gets up on stage and performs at some small concert?

His video/song combination is a little bit better than that.

Here's what I'm talking about: http://www.youtube.com/wa...Rb8t5owbtU

How long does it take to "fix a link" (whatever that means)?

Honestly, it seems that he can't do even the simplest thing correctly anymore.

It looks like putting the link up and then removing it another promo tactic. Only certain members were able to see it. We know who they were. These members will then hype it up for the fans who didn't see it and they will get anxious, excited, and impatient as they wait for Prince to let them see it. I don't think Prince is confident about his new video and this could be why it's taking so long to post the link for the video.

Well that just sucks !

Maybe I'll see it on Damn Vh1 Soul.....

Prince looks so happy in the video. Like he is on cloud 9. He is definitely up 2 something....

I'm starting to like the new material, style a lot. Perhaps it's the change from Winter to Spring. Same thing happened with "Colonized Mind." For some reason it didn't hit me right away. It could be whatever you're listening to at the time. Not sure?

i like it, first time i've had chance to listen to it.

he really looks like he's enjoying himself too and he's trying something different instead of just doing the same old same ond, give the man some credit, plus the band is well foxy

he needs a bit of oestrogen around him I think...

IMPRESSED!!

(even if it does sound a bit like 'pretend we're dead' by L7...ssssh!!)

I dug it. My only issue is that the eye makeup looks way out of place with the rest of the look. But thats pretty minor.

The video is good. It looks lush. The song is well produced and not terrible, but i find it kind of monotonous. I don't think it has any kick to it.

Yeah not digging the look but I like the song. Lyrically it's the usual train wreck but I like the direction he's aiming for.

Why is everyone trippin' on P's heavy eye makeup? Its not like he hasn't rocked heavy eye makeup before! Is it too much to handle?

Yes. My Lovesexy tour book even said it looked sweet.

I like the live parts of it the best. I'm surprised this isn't a song on which Prince plays guitar.

This is fuckin' hysterical....3 days in and the new video link isn't working and Kobalt are running around trying t0 'fix the link'...welcome to doing business with the purple one...we hope you enjoy your experience!!..oh and make damn sure you get paid!!

the song is not as good as Rock n Roll Love Affair and neither is the video

The video is back up. http://vevo.ly/10U9Xgh

Slick performance video, and it looks like P is having fun. I also like that he's being really direct with his message and purposely trying to push some political buttons...making a statement that isn't just a bitch about his current business problem or artistic struggle. With all due respect to individual opinions, I really don't get all the negativity surrounding this song. It's hooky as hell, full of energy and makes you think. Way better than Screwdriver, imo. (Which I'm not totally knocking, just not into as much as FULU.) Just 2 cents.

I am glad you understand what the lyrics are about, because they make non-sense to me.

Some of the themes/images in the lyrics/video:

- injustice/inequality

- parked car

- gun control

- America versus London

- dollars

- liberty (statue of liberty)

- fix your life up

- girl band vs boys

- realise your dreams

- mysogyny

- workers rights

- individualism/don't follow the crowd

- leaders should follow the crowd

- anti-war

- do what you love

- leadership sucks

- people power/people should lead

- people get what they need, not what they want

- girl power

- truth is illegal (which truth?)

Uhm, so what is the message here??

Its synced up correct now... not bad mr nelson

enough about the hair already. if it was good then, its good now. its natural.

I'm a little iffy on this, but I could watch Hannah all day long. The song feels a little amateuish to me. Like a beginner's alternative song. It's not awful, just not terribly sophisticated.

However, Prinve really lowered the bar on the live Screwdriver video, so this is a million times better than that abomination.
