'the question of u'/'the one' guitar medley during the musicology tour was my favorite part of the show - all the times i saw it, i never got tired of it one bit. bow

It's certainly a paranoic track, hard to digest, but it's hardly a bad song, in fact, it's a masterpiece lol , I just love its neo-blues sound.

What Don't you like about it.

For too simplistic to just call it Shit.

I think it's a highly imaganitive song, with a stunning guitar solo.

...and on the obscure reference level, isn't QofU a song that was developed/based off of "Under The Cherry Moon" during the Parade tour in '86?

I just watched the pole dance he did at the end of the song on the Nude Tour in Tokyo and I must say my favorite part is him simulating oral sex on the mic stand. Yeah, classic Prince. eyepop

I adore this song. It's where I got my orgname.

The words have a special meaning to me. So simple. Short....yet so deep. The music makes my heart ache...

So what is the answer 2 the question of u (Jehovah? God? Yeshua? Jesus? Goddess?)
what do I look 4, (truth) what shall I do?
Which way do I turn when I'm feeling lost? (I was so lost)
if I sell my soul, now what will it cost? (I sold my soul to an organization--it cost me too much.)
Must I become naked? No image at all? (I had to lose myself to find myself)
Shall I remain upright? Or get down and crawl?

All of the questions in my life will be answered
when I decide which road 2 choose (I chose spirituality and love)
what is the answer 2 the question of u?

Haven´t heard it live, but I love the song too.
