Calling me an ignorant ass however is very offensive. Ask where they're going, they'll tell U – "Nowhere"

Havén´t heard the unreleased version.  It´s a great song."When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all." | |

One of my favorite lyrics is in this song... " Last night a stranger took my picture and he asked if I'd buy it and I said I guess I don't know how". | |

It's an old story if you dig around. Two friends stuck in the snow: Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. This incident led to their dismissal from The Time. Cocaine becomes charmin', But U talk about things U don't know I know, no matter how pleasant your past was Green and white return 2 blue U're happy as long as your last buzz And then U think U want something new,: The late Big Chick (his bodyguard) sold his "story" about Prince to a tabloid (u talk about things u don't know), probably for drug money, as he was addicted to the white stuff. Green being money, white being cocaine, blue being the result. Last buzz = drugs. The reference to selling pictures for chump change is also a reference to Big Chick. Steve: His former manager, the late Steve Fargnoli, answering questions about why Around The World In A Day was the exactly opposite of anything prior; what the public thought to the funkless music. When another musician U hired: Reference to Wendy Melvoin coming into the group and Dez leaving. | |

novabrkr said: Vanity and Morris Day were the ones strung out on drugs during the tours, not Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. The first version is basically about all the people who were doing narcotics in his closer circle (including his bodyguard), he mentioned that in the rolling stone 1985 interview.
Thank you. I've thought about it for a long time and I wondered if Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis were on the snow, how could they have done all they did for Janet? It didn't seem plausible. Morris, we know had his problems. Chick admitted to his drug use. I won't even try to speculate about the others in that crew. All that is safe to say is that "Cocaine is a helluva drug" and that it was rampant among musicians who had to stay up late and play crazy gigs throughout the U.S. The 80's may have been the Cocaine Heyday, breaking up bands all ovah da place.  
Some people tell me I've got great legs... | |
