Though that is not quite the case as Prince has very rarely used an overly personal song as a b-side. "She's Always In My Hair" might be the only one that I personally know of. Hello?! The very next B-side after that one was quite personal as well -- explicitly so. And I've often wondered about "Another Lonely Christmas" -- how could he write such a beautiful song about something that never happened? I'm not buying it. Sounds personal to me. Ah, and "I Love U In Me" -- that's gotta be about somebody in particular, methinks.  [Edited 9/30/04 0:11am] | |

howcomeudontcallme said: i think it just demonstrates Prince's profeciency at the time. he was writing a billion songs a day and the majority of it was great. I think it was a way of giving the listener a taste of his diversity that one album a year could not fullfill.
That is exactly the reason they are b-sides. Back in the 80's b-sides were not blown off, people were excited about them. They were listened to and also helped sell the a-side. |
