Dear Prince

Dear Prince,
at the 22/10 Melbourne concert, at Rod Laver Arena, where the acoustics are perfect, he mentioned, "when you walk out to your car, walk like this..."
I'm sorry but I live in the inner city, on the waterfront, in St.Kilda, with million-dollar bay & city views, etc, and sorry, funnily enough, don't own a car, never learnt to drive, and so on...
There are 2 tram routes outside my door...
They come in handy...
Moved here in the 80s when St.Kilda was down & out and no1 wanted to live here...
I can get plastered on the weekend, but not so much I don't catch the last tram...
cos taxis are expensive...a last resort...
so, not everyone drives a car...
"Baby u can drive my car/Cos I'm gonna be a star"
I had the vinyl single of Nowhere Man, from my favourite Beatles album Rubber Soul; and this was on the B-side, or as they called it in those days, the double-A side...
I got rid of all the vinyl records, what a fool...
Peace and love y'all, party people

Geez man, why so offended? It was just a comedy routine, I don't think Prince meant u 2 take it personally...

Not offended, at all, just observing...
Cos we gotta protect the environment at the end of the day, y'all...
