Radical Man 2045, Underated Classic?

Not the popular song, cause nobody ever mentions it
so im assuming everybody hates it but me lol
Sure it has P's dated lashes at the industry
but i believe the smooth groove makes up for it
One of the few songs i liked that P done Circa 99,00

I think it's a nice funky groove, no classic. Indeed one of the few cool tracks from that period.

eek Oh my GAWD, y'all are TRIPPIN'!!!

I feel like Zeleira in my enthusiasm for this song - absolutely everything about it is perfection, in my opinion, and I knew it since the first time I heard the song on those shitty computer speakers in '99.

The lyrics, the preaching intro and outro, the instrumentation, the vocal delivery (oooh-whee!!), the Green Mile guitar solo, the distorted keyboard solo followed by Prince instructing the sound man, "Way down," -- I could seriously write a full-on dissertation about this song. There's a lot there, and I love when Prince obviously gets really into a song, a vibe, a lyrical position, whatever.

Where will you be in 2045?
30 million people right now bein' wiped off the face of the planet by a disease they claim they have no cure
in the matter of a blinking eye, all of us right now can testify
take a stand, radical man.


Man, I dig that SO much more than "Ain't no sense in voting, same song with a different name."
No confusion, no tears. No enemies, no fear. No sorrow, no pain. No ball, no chain.

Sex is not love. Love is not sex. Putting words in other people's mouths will only get you elected.

No classic. Average.
There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently

Love the song. Love the messages. I'll admit it took one or two listens before it grabbed me for good.
