Dorothy Parker--Literary connection? Is there a particular reason why Prince chose to name his song after the poet/writer Dorothy Parker? Has he ever spoken about this? Don't hurt me, I'm a newb. I'm supposed to be stupid. | |

yeah, he claims that he didn't know about the poet when he wrote the song.

i seem to remember reading (in 'the vault' or 'dmsr', i'm sure) that he got the name from a dream, but that he probably dreamt it because susannah was reading a dorothy parker book around that time.  | |

Interesting info! I don't know much about her either! Thanx! "Just like the sun, the Rainbow Children rise."
