M eye the only purplepeating sob who deosn't like this song, it's commercial aor at it's worst...the only song I skip on musicology. I like the lyrics and context, plus the video is cool, but the song is so pop. If I wanna listen to cinnamon girl I listen to this guy.




nodAs a Prince fan, I hate say it but I prefer Neil Young's song over his any day.

A great "pop" tune. What the hell does that mean anyway? Its popular? Is that so wrong? The whole albums is "popular" because it sold lots.

"Pop" is not a genre, unless you subscribe to the layouts in record stores.

Besides, how many "pop" tunes have lyrics or a video like Cinnamon Girl?

I say, give us more like this P!

the lyrics are an integral part of the music. they both cannot be taken in isolation.
what part of the music dont you like?


Like i said, I don't wanna listen to lyrics like that coming from someone who refuses to vote. Moreover I can't stand to listen to the song, so even if I liked the lyrics, I still could not stand the music.
The verses are a rip-off of "Money don't matter tonight" IMO (and I never was a huge fan of that song in the first place) and the chorus just makes me barf. Everytime my boyfriend or I listen to the song played on the radio or TV we just redface and hope nobody realizes that it is by Prince and asks as if we are a fan.


i rest my case on this issue.
i shall no longer join issues with you on this one.
peace and be wild{whatever that means!}

i agree. i know my opinion in this regard won't be popular, but i'd kinda rather prince kept his mouth shut about politics if he's going to adopt the JW 'no participation in anything political stance'

he feels/sounds like a hypocrite when he sings about this stuff and then fails to follow through in 'real life'. i know people say "well, his music IS his participation" but that don't cut it, imo. it's not that simple.

just my 2c
