While we're on Madonna...what was Prince's reaction to Madonna calling him "stupid" or whatever when they were in the early stages of discussing their proposed musical "Grafitti Bridge"? As for songs for others, did he really write "Stand Back" for Stevie Nicks, or did he just play the keyboards? Alex, I'll take keyboards for 500.  Christian Zombie Vampires | |

Stevie Nicks was somewhat into Prince at the time and "stand back" had been inspired by Little Red Corvette. She was so greatful for him coming over and playing the keyboards that she gave him co-writing credit, even though he had nothing to do with writing the song. | |

In 1986, Modanna visited Paisley Park, where they generated a handful of embryonic ideas. Later that year, when Madonna was acting in the David Mamet play Speed-The-Plowon Broadway, Prince approached her backstage with a mix of "Love Song," one of the numbers they had taped; Madonna found it more exciting then she had rememberd, and she expressed interest in including it on her next album. Rather then working 2gether in the studio, they instead added parts in isolation, using couriers 2 send the mater tape back & 4th across the country. The song, a plodding, static composition enlivened somewhat by Prince's skillful vocal harmonies (the entire song, in fact, sounds more like Prince then Modanna), later appeard on her 1989 album Like A Prayer. Just to tag onto that, the 'code name' ('working title' whilst it was being shipped back and forth) for Love Song was "Daisy Miller" - I think that's cute 
And just to fill in those blanks, I took this from this thread on HQ: "Madonna has already confirmed in interviews that Prince played guitar on Like a Prayer, Keep it together (he also played bass). Love Song ( obviously but madonna played keyboards) and Act Of Contrition." So, he didn't write any tracks with/for Madonna other than Love Song - but played instruments on Like A Prayer, Keep It Together and Act Of Contrition. (That list of credits reminds me of Prince's 'official' input into Sheila E's 'Romance 1600', and we all know he wrote every song on that album bar one - but I do NOT consider this the same situation, I do accept the above as the true amount of input Prince had on LAP). // [Edited 9/20/04 1:15am] | |

"Why hasn't Prince dated any dark, Black women?" Many people ask me this question. I'd like to know the answer myself. When you are as self-involved as he...you tend to date people who look like you...that's what some people say...have you noticed that a lot of the women he gets with really do look similar? Hell love yourself | |

In the early 90s,there was a story about a lengthy interview Prince did that's been placed in a time capsule and will not be released until 200 (?) years from now. Anybody remember hearing this? Supposedly,this interview is the most honest,revealing interview he's ever done,but he doesn't want anyone to see it until he's dead (well,in 200 years,we'll ALL be dead,lol). | |

[Edited 9/19/04 23:47pm] Interesting. I don't remember Blue Tuesday. I know the program told the "story" of why he did it--because the Black Album was just a negative response to critics--but it is what you say about a bad trip that I wonder about. I have heard this before (and having done extacy I can believe it) but I still don't know if that's the real cause. I don't think anyone but Prince's inner circle know for sure.

LouieLaFunk said: why would prince not index the LoveSexy cd? that is really irritating! Mayb this will help it talks about the cover art then goes in the the question u just asked: Warners requested alternative art from Prince, but he refused; he believed the cover to b an integral part of a carefully constructed personal & religious statement. His conception of Lovesexy as a unified whole also prompted his refusal 2 "index" the compact disc version, meaning that consumers who bought the CD could not flip from song 2 song, but had 2 listen 2 the album entirety. Warners rightly worried that consumers would find the inability 2 play there favorite songs maddening. Prince thinks differently so he does stuff like this.lol He just looked at it as spiritually and as one if that makes sense. [Edited 9/20/04 13:39pm] U led me on thinking u was moses.

scandaloussex said: paisleypark4 said: Just like the 8 wonders of the world
What are the greatest mysteries that ever faced Prince career? Ill begin with: The song called "Wally" that Prince erased supposedly and we will never get to hear, that was supposed 2 be one of the most emotional thing he has ever laid on tape. Ya let me add 2 that. The song was written after Susannah left Prince (1986). Prince then went 2 the studio and started constructing a song around a melancholy piano pattern. Wally Stafford, a dancer in the band. Prince asked Wally 2 borrow $50 and some sunglasses so he can impress his lover, but changes his mind and returns the items, telling Wally that sinse he is alone now, he has no one 2 spend it on. Prince then started adding instruments to the song destroying it.lol Prince then demands 4 the song to b erased, saying that if they didn't..he would! Wally a song no1 would hear. I bet he dubbed it on a cassette tape before he erased the master copy. That tape is probably on the vault floor collecting dust in the corner somewhere! | |

hmph! purple bitch..... Dammit! Now I'm curious..... If it exists, I figure that it's actually something really personal, and that he wouldn't want anything he said to come back at him or be criticized for any of it, so he doesn't want it opened 'til after he's dead. Either that, or it's a tape of Prince laughing his ass off at us because everything -the songs, the odd behaviour, everything -was all some grand joke meant to keep us guessing, when it really all meant nothing.
