What does Laurarichardson know, I'm still waiting for the link he promised to post of Prince firing Miko because Miko was getting all the women

According to your own comments. You do not know too much of anything.

I told you I read an interview with Miko were he felt that the anger Prince was directing at him did not have so much too do with the guitar being turned up too loud but more to do with Miko getting all the girls. This is what Miko believed.

See these two links below. First has an orger bring it up and the second is saying it is in the book Possessed. Read it and let this go.

U said that was the reason.
I told U what is turned out to be in the full picture

It wasn't just the guitar. That was the spark. Miko himself said

he wasn't feeling the new musicians and felt they were fake

I am telling you what Miko said. I am not saying anything because I was not in the room. I am only reporting what Miko stated was the real reason. This information is apparently in Possessed. I gave you the damm links from this site.

Do you think Prince was yelling at Miko because Miko did not like the musicians? Think about that for just a minute. What would set off Prince to ask Miko to go outside? Miko taking all the women or Miko not liking the musicians in the band? I am not saying he did not say he had a problem with the musicians it is in the interview but I am telling you his comments about women are out in the public as well.

It wasn't about getting more women. The comment about women was just a joke

1st link U provided said nothing.

This came up a little while ago, and I posted 4 you the whole thing about what Miko said and you still came back with 'because he was getting more girls'

Miko was done.

2nd link U provided said absolutely nothing.

how about a real link with real info: http://prince.org/msg/7352178?&pg=3 post #70

The information came from Possessed so you did not interview him so how do you know he was joking. That your issues up with the author and stop ignoring the links that show that he did say this in that book.

For whatever reason Miko felt like saying he felt Prince was mad at him about getting all the girls and that was the real reason he picked the fight with him. The fight was not over other band memebers but a factor in Miko utimitly deciding to leave the band although having your boss threaten to take you outside for any reason would be enough reason to leave.

Also remember one of his managers around in the 1990s said he had words with Prince and Prince did actually hit him so dude was not afraid to fight.

Why do you need to believe so hard it was something as frivolous as being 'about the ladies'
Maybe that is how you would be if you were in the situation.

.

1. The spark of the fight was during a rehearsal and the engineer had Miko's guitar too loud.

.

2. Prince went after Miko and spoke to Miko in a way that he did not like.

.

3. Miko ended up leaving because the group/band scene had changed and he felt the new members were fake. Prince even implying that Miko coming out of the 1984-1988 period having gone through the harder stuff should be able to take it. Miko disagreed. And clearly felt Prince was not the same and decided to leave the band.

.

4. So if Prince hit Miko then it had nothing to do with 'the Ladies'

I remember reading that "365 Prince Song In A Year" was launching. Although I agree with this article for siding with the inspiration of the song being about Vanity and the movie, it's good that they told both sides of the story. It wouldn't have been honorable if they hadn't. But most of all I appreciate that they were respectful enough to let the world know what Prince said about the subject. An article that finally knows how to tell a story. I'm interested In reading about the other songs on their list...

Once again according to Miko he felt Prince was pissed about the girls this does not discount the other statements Miko made. It is frivolous to you I highly doubt Prince in his 30s going back to his hotel room alone to him was frivolous to him. All you have to do is listen to somethings Andre Cymobe said about their young years. From a young age he was a major skirt chaser.

I like that they used Prince's own words

“I was talking to somebody about ‘The Beautiful Ones.’ They were speculating as to who I was singing about – but they were completely wrong,” Prince said. “If they look at it, it’s very obvious. ‘Do you want him or do you want me,’ that was written for that scene in Purple Rain specifically, where Morris would be sitting with [Apollonia] and there’d be this back and forth. And also, ‘The beautiful ones you always seem to lose,’ Vanity had just quit the movie.”

I do not know why but hearing Prince say it is very obvious is sweet. The obvious gets rebuked so much it is nice to have his confirmation and it is nice to know Vanity knew the song was for her.

In his tribute to her in Melbourne he said "she knows about this one."

.

Sweet.

Hi Vashtix. Great point. I actually went back to edit my post to add that I appreciate the fact that they told us what Prince said about the matter. That's how it should be done. I liked that it was included that he entwined her name in the song as well. I had forgotten about that part..

I am so amazed how Prince as a mature adult almost 50 is treated like the 20 something he was in the 80s. He grew and matured before our eyes. It is offensive to have him a time capsule. His words both instances were HIS. It is overlooked. I rather he give the narrative via his words and songs than others. Prince knew. It was a gift he shared in 2015 and 2016.

Thank you. Vanity meant a lot to Prince. How could she not? Its a shame that so many people take the things that Susannah camp says and said to be the ultimate truth. I think that anyone with eyes know that TBO is not about Susannah. What's really important is the statements Prince made. He was a very private person. So for him to open up and express himself should be taken seriously

The full truth is what he said in the book in Possessed. You do not have to like it but it is a story attributed to Miko in that book. This much is true. Funny how when something comes from Alex that orgers agree with it is all good but not so much when you do not like hearing it.

No it isn't in the book, the full truth is in the interview I posted. That you seem to resist, because it is coming from me. U don't even have the book, I do.

When I heard Prince say that line. I thought the debate would be over. I was like "There's no way people can try to say this song wasn't about Vanity now!" Lol, I underestimated the years of narrative of "Possessed" lol

I think you are lying. I checked this book out from the libary and remember reading this and it was discussed on this forum in the past. So I do not remember what I read and the old org post is made up as well? It seems that everyone lives in a fantasy world and goes around making up stuff except you.
