I find it hard to believe.....

That Prince NEVER heard "While my guitar gently weeps" before it was sent to him in preparation for the Hall of Fame. It's a fairly well known song- He did have an amazing solo.....

In 88, Tower Records London, Prince lesft with a complete works of the Beatles box set. He either didn't listen or is a liar.

Prince says a lot of stuff
He said he never heard of Dorothy Parker before writing the song

He just needs to know the key of the song, any good guitar player can do this. It is called improvisation.

Parker was famous for her cynical wit. You can read some of her famous quips here I'd also recommend this movie.

Have a look at the booklet of ONA live.

P likes to play with people. When a lie is so obvious, it is no more a lie but a statement. Or a joke ?
