Novel idea, but I still don't get it confused



holy moly! I've never seen that pic b4 and it's now my new desk top! lick can you say HAWT!!!
wink

I dunno what the gun mike was all about but I always thought it was cool. I mean if you look at a mic on a stand in the holder thingy it kinda resembles a gun so I always figured Prince musta noticed that at some point and thought it would be cool to whirl it around like a gun. Like maybe that's his weapon of choice...
ahh who knows, for some reason I think Prince has shot a few guns in his day and ain't totally opposed to em.
"not a fan" falloff yeah...ok

The Gun mic was a play on the idea of 'words as weapons', and also tied in
with the 'Gangster Glam' vibe that he going on at the time. It was also
a natural progression from his usual mic setup, as the way his mic seperated
from the stand was quite 'gun-like' anyway.
