Whoa, Jesus! That's MY town! I wonder if I ran into her at Safeway at one time or another...

First and foremost where do you get your facts that the Beautiful Ones was written for Susannah. No way. It was written for the movie and Vanity was the original star besides Prince. And Susannah came afterward.




Very good point.I'm always skeptical when people claim that a particular song was written for a particular person.For example,it has been said that "When Doves Cry" was written for Susie Moonsie.I find this hard to believe.The song was clearly written for the movie,it's The Kid's character speaking to the Apollonia character.I guess only Prince would know for sure though.

If you read DMSR the whole story of "When Doves Cry is in that book. He wrote the song after the most of the movie had been filmed. According to the book he had a big fight with Susan Moonsie and the song is about the end of their relationship.

You will also find that in DMSR there is the whole story of Susan Melvoin and how he he wrote the the Beautiful Ones for her because she would not break up with her current boyfriend and go with hime.

You can't believe everything you read. Only Prince knows who he wrote The Beautiful Ones for. Besides let's be honest. Susannah's okay but could she possibly be the subject of The Beautiful Ones. I doubt it!

Yeah,you can't really believe everything you read.Besides,it would be a stretch to say that all of Prince's songs are taken from real experiences.My feeling is (and I could be wrong),when he composed the 'Purple Rain' soundtrack,the STORY was his main motivation for the lyrics.I think he was more concerned with the movie and making sure the songs fit the scenes.

Throughout the years,we've always heard crazy rumors about songs being written for various girlfriends.For example,I once heard that "Thieves In The Temple" was written about his break-up with Kim Basinger,and "I Hate U" was written about Carmen Elektra.I'm not saying they weren't,but only Prince would know for sure.

I know what you are implying but since he couldn't be there with her he sent her the next best thing a picture so she could remember him and feel like he was there besides her.

Sending the picture WAS important. But I was talking about him taking time out and reflecting and praying for her.


Both of you are the biggest retarted monkeys ever. Did you even bother to read what I posted? It's called humor. You might want to try to get some.


Let's not play games. I am not retarded and I am not a monkey. You need to get some respect!


Retarted is a slang term for unintelligent. Homo sapiens evolved from monkeys, regardless of what any Adam-and-Eve crap anyone spews out. Therefore, my "retarted monkey" statement was right on the money. I do not rescind it.

I do have respect. I have respect for those who are intelligent. And you, my friend, are not one of them.



Nat,dont make the children upset, you know how sensitive they are when it comes to thy lord and savior princey Nelson...lol

well peeps I am going to put my two cents in the mix, about Vanity, I have heard a rumor that when Prince had his NPG parties, this past week, Someone said that Mani looked just like Vanity, I am thinking whoa,can anyone tell me the truth, does Prince really miss Vanity that much to make Mani start looking like Vanity, did he have his hairdresser and makeup artist make her up to look like Vanity, anybody,or is it(STRANGE BUT TRUE)

You all know what happens when you assume things!!!
Catch a clue...First Loves are the hardest to get over. Vanity was not his first love as you all fantize about. I wonder why John kicked P out of the house when he was 14. Who was that girl and she was not Causcasian as previously reported by the tabloids. A hole as big as the Grand Canyon is pretty hard to fill. He is not pineing away for Denise Katrina Matthews-Smith. Don't make be laugh...If they are going to follow him around he might as well put them to work.
sorry if that was over your head...jump up and try to catch the point next time.

I agree with Natsume - Anji, what's with hoisting this shameful thread back 2 the top?

This is the most unabashed gossipfest ever 2 b disguised as an org discussion of P's music.

Don't you guys know that pretty much all the love songs from 1986 on up were written for Lisa Barber?! Prince has longed for her for years after their first and only date but he hasn't had the courage to call her up.

No,no, no. It's about Vanity without a doubt. He longs for her. That's why he has Mani looking so much like her.

I heard that rumor also. I always thought Mani looked like Vanity. But I guess with straight her she's her twin.
