this is one of the most annoying features of Prince's music it's kinda hard for the listener to take ownership to a song that's about someone else kinda ruins a romantic moment as well on the contrary, it confirms his allegations that "intellectual property" should belong to the one who creates it. i think it's only fitting that an artist who fights to maintain ownership of his material, personalizes his work. otherwise it would be like buying personalized liscensed plates with your name on them only to put them on your neighbors car it would make no sense whatsoever. Also writing personal material is a good way to keep others trying to cover your songs and I think thats brilliant. i suppose you also believe someone who makes a birthday cake should put their own name on it as well? it's selfish really | |

The Ladder? News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so. You have those internalized issues because you want to, you like to, stop. | |

If you are a listener, you can always insert your own name in the blank if you want. For example if I'm listening to a gender specific song that doesn't fit, I put boy where girl is or the opposite way around no harm no foul. However I don't say that woman or man shouldn't put he or she in their song they should just say baby so I can sing it too. How is it selfish that a person writing a song writes it from their own personal perspective? There are women who sing the Chi Lites Oh Girl and they just insert Boy where girl is and its all good. Why couldn't a listener do the same? Lack of imagination or creativity? | |

It is definitely not 'Props 'N Pounds' Prince is mentioned in 'Props 'N Pounds' but Prince doesn't namecheck himself, but rather uses an excerpt of Kurt Loder describing Prince: " ... I mean he's just one of the greatest live performers there is. But all this other stuff, the attitude, going on around it, I mean U can be a great musician and not have the right kind of approach. And Prince has the right approach 2. ...I think the gift of simplicity is like a keynote of art. I mean, he doesn't, he-he knows when to stop... usually." . [Edited 7/18/06 15:21pm] ALT+PLS+RTN: Pure as a pane of ice. It's a gift. |

Just listen to the way P changes the tone of the song just before the end and turns it into a murky ode to a man's insecurities. In that respect, "Neon Telephone" calls to mind "Let's Go Crazy", where P phones up a female friend "4 a friendly word", and who then appears to be engaging in sexual congress with someone else. He probably wishes he had not phoned her at all. "U think U are 2 good or something? Are U alone?... Good God!" . "You don't frighten us, English pig dogs. Go and boil your bottoms, sons of a silly person." | |
