Toejam, I hope you're kidding. Surely you don't really think he's saying Princeeey!

Doesn't it go something like

"This little Prince thinks a lot about U see
Baby, baby baby I'm guilty in the first degree..."
Just somewhere in the middle,
Not too good and not too bad.

too many!!
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

What? If u take a percentge of the songs where Prince name checks vs his catalog it would be less that 1% of his material.

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'd have to disagree.....strictly on a personal experience level....his monologue at the end of IL...whispered just so and without mistakes/flubs....had the right effect....I'll grant u that looking back, it is kinda creepy whispering " thank u for flying Prince International..." at the moment of truth...but when it elicited the response that it did more times than not....its a chance I'm glad I took... razz
