Gate keepers

More than once, I've heard Prince use the word "gate keeper(s)" in one of his speeches or interviews.

Has he yet to use that phrase in any of his songs? Because he sure mentions it a lot.

The way he used it at the NAACP awards made complete sense to me and I just found it an interesting phrase for him to use. Even the way he says it intrigues me.

Does anyone have Prince's e-mail address?
I wanna let him know that I'm almost positive that Rick Moranis is the KeyMaster & that maybe they should arrange a meet-up or somethin'.

Omg! That's hilarious. Actually, that's one of the first things that came to mind the first time I heard him use the term "gate keeper"... in that context, Prince wants to be in sole control of his music, so I think he wants to be both the "gate keeper" and the "key master". I think he's already the key master, actually.

But seriously, has he ever used it in his lyrics that you know of?

And if anyone had Prince's email address, they'd probably stuff his inbox in a matter of hours, with zillions of messages saying "did you get my other messages yet?" lol

lol... I've thought about that, but I really don't care all that much because I got the major idea... oh wait, maybe he's talking about V-cast, and other cell phone features taht let you play songs from your cellphone...

Maybe he'll mention "gate keepers" in his next album

Maybe that should be the title for Prince's next album:

"Gate Keeper of the New Jazz Revolution"
