Well, that gives us more hope for an November rerelease of the album.


Also, it's pretty funny of course that all the positive things that are stated in the except (like Prince only talking about things he knows about and having a really clear self-critical eye) no longer apply to the present-day Prince....

I found it interesting that they had

to do a voice over with Morris saying

"Apollonia" over the already filmed version of him saying

"that Vanity baby"

hmmmm? I'll have to pull out my DVD and check it out

Blah, blah, blah.....one thing hasn't changed, Prince still has total belief in self, belief in self is a beautiful thing!

Sigh... Is writing a more descriptive title really that hard? How about "Excerpt from Alan Light's upcoming book "Let's Go Crazy: Prince and the Making of Purple Rain", coming December 2014"? Note how it contains every bit of info necessary: it's a book, this is the author, this is when it is going to be released, this is the title, and here's an excerpt.

I think the prince.org community would learn a lot more if they (in general) weren't so quick to think they already had all the answers.

Very true, but in that case the guy wasn't offering up information, he was just sort of mocking us for not having the insider gossip he had. When questioned he didn't really elaborate so it sounded like he was backing off and wasn't credible. He also claimed they shot concert scenes in LA too... which I'm still skeptical of.
