Why did Sheila E write backwards? I met Sheila about five years ago and got an autograph and it was written backwards. Why do you think she writes like that? "Haters wanna hate/ lovers wanna love/ I don't even want/ none of the above/ I want to piss on you... " |

I guess it's her thing. I have an autograph from her as well as a signed copy of Sex Cymbal (unfortuantely, I can't even begin to understand what she wrote). I think it's just a "thing" that she cultivated as part of her image.
She also wrote backward in the Lovesexy tour booklet, and her name was printed backward on her clothing at the time. Maybe she just considers it part of her image?

Sorry. 
I'm totally not kidding. Actually, I have a couple albums signed by her. Sex Cymbal is too dark to scan in. But look at this one. Can you tell what the hell she wrote under her name?

^ What the... ? It's not any easier reading it backwards.  If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. |

She wrote Love and under it it's her signature.
The signature is the same as on mine but i have another text above it.
On a drumstick i have the same as above on yours. |

@ Landalius Truefield,
She write backwards as part of her image, she learn to play the drums/percussion "backwards".
As looking at her daddy when she was young, in front of him playing, she looked in a "mirror".

Thanks! I had always assumed the "Love" part was actually "Sheila." But what you say makes more sense. |

I love love love Sheila, but I'm sorry that is just dumb. It looks like it was written by an illiterate with parkinsons.  |

That's Lynn Mabry. She was in The Brides Of Funkenstein. I think she and Sheila have a charity together. |

I got Lynn Mabry to sign it too since she's all over that album, and I was talking to both her and Sheila right after a gig they did in L.A. Lynn's pretty cool and has a great voice. She's also Sheila's manager, or was.

Because it makes people like you ask "Why?" |
