Thank you so much for giving us the next installment in The Kindergartner's View of World Events.  Which war was that again? And if dare say the "CIVIL," go back and sue everyone who's ever taught u anything about the civil war. "Freeing" of slaves in the South BECAME a goal and gave a higher moral cause to the war. Please don't think that was the reason the civil war began. [Edited 7/12/07 3:06am] "Opinions... Everyone has one!" - NSpade | |

serk said: Genesia said: Exactly!!!! This is not the man who penned Little Red Corvette and Dorothy Parker.  like DB said: Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes, turn and face the strain! He actually said to "turn and face the strange"! Back on topic, I believe that a lot of Prince fans are spoiled and expect him to do whatever it is they want him to do. Like they know about artistic freedom! Or even intelligent pop star career moves. If you don't like the damn album, stop listening to it and put on a record you DO like. Download a program like Soundforge or something and tool around with it - remaster it, remix it, do whatever to make it new. As far as the stuff Prince is CURRENTLY putting out - It's awesome. I love it. I think it's his best stuff in 11 years, personally. Yes, that's right! Planet Earth is better than anything put out since Emancipation. Give me 6 months and I'll tell you if I like it more than that, even. As someone else said, Prince does about 349581343 styles of music. Not every song will please every person. (For instance, I think "Lion of Judah" is the most retarded song in a long time - probably since "Wedding Feast"!) | |

THERE WAS A DUDE WHO HATED THE PHOTOGRAPHY HE WAS BEING SHOWN, GUESS WHAT.... HE BECAME A PHOTOGRAPHER AND IS NOW CONSIDERED "A MASTER PHOTOGRAPHER." NAME THAT PERSON?

*adds to pile of "embarassing songs from 3121 and planet earth"*  HMM... ONE SAYS IT'S A GREAT SONG, ONE SAYS IT'S EMBARRASSING, ALTHOUGH THEY SPELLED IT INCORRECTLY, HMM... WHAT'S ONE TO THINK? I KNOW... I'LL ADD THE "EMBARASSING" STATEMENT TO A PILE OF BULLSHIT FROM THE ORG. Oh, nice to know the org is a place for free speech and having your own opinions.
Was there any need to shout that? | |

[Edited 7/12/07 3:38am] Maybe more people have heard it this time. I really loved the song.. I didnt expect the thread to go this long though... I guess the song is quite deep. | |

The fact that there are a number of them doesn't mean the song is deep. In this case, it means there's a difference of opinion as to whether it's a good song or not. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

And the plain fact of the matter is, the end of slavery was an outcome of the "Civil War" (if you live in the North) and the "War of Northern Aggression (if you live in the South). I never said it constituted the grounds on which the war was fought. I know it wasn't. Please go back and sue everyone who had a hand in your being a lousy reader.

interesting thread . . . my only knowledge of this song is what is in this thread. the main lyrics cited as "Moronic" 
are perhaps a SIMPLE way of stating the UNIVERSAL TRUTH that in WAR, there never R winners 
because it is a WIN/LOSE proposition to start with casualties of DEATH, regardless of OUTCOMES the End doesn't Justify the Means the lyric seems clean, to the point and has Depth for me. ... Peace-Loving in a time of Nuclear & Biological Terrors ... perhaps this is placed last on the album entitled, Planet Earth as a PLEA, implying "We could all Lose w/the stakes so high." ultimately, RESOLUTION is needed to save our planet from ourselves. some of the Deepest things i know R quite Simple like my Cat smilin' at me on a really bad day

Planet Earth reminds me of the Dream Factory for the following reasons:
- Simplistic lyrics which is quite refreshing (vs. Ekshic records talk) - Wendy & Lisa-esque arrangements - Challenging music Admit it...it's nice to hear W&L on backgrounds vs. Prince's multi-layered voices. This album could have come out after Parade in 1986. The One U Wanna C Resolution All the Midnights Resolution | |
