"Jamie Starr Is A Thief"

Do you miss all the cool little references that Prince used to write into his songs... (whether for him or others) things that most people wouldn't even get. The aliases (Jamie Starr, Joey Coco, etc.), the random statements, "We don't care to win awards"

Can you remember other cool little outtakes that he made famous? Do tell... smile

I always found that eerie because that was his son's name.

Yeah, I do....I love cool little stuff like that, a lot of which you don't even pick-up until you've listened to the song hundreds of times. Maybe I'm imagining things but it seems that in the 80's and before, this type of stuff would happen a lot with the coolest artist (Prince...the Beatles, etc.)...Hidden messages and noises....I love that stuff....it seems no one is doing that stuff anymore. So yeah I do miss that stuff.

Yeah, me neither...that's exactly what I'm talking about. I guess P was trying to start up a fake rivalry between himself and The Time/Jamie Starr/Himself for entertainment/marketing ploy purposes???? Very cool! cool

"Definitely masturbating" from All The Critics Love U In New York always made me laugh, as I understood it to be P commenting on how self-indulgent he was being in that tune. However, this line is a response to the line just before it, which I can't decipher...

If anyone could tell me what that line is, I'd be much obliged! smile

don't worry, his son's name was not gregory. mayte was enlisted
into hospital under the name M. Gregory to shake off some press

the child was then simply labeled having the surname Gregory.

there was no first name either, the chart simply stated that it
was a 'boy', thus people sometimes saying the child was named
boy since the sex would have been labeled "male" and not "boy".

whichever it was, the child's first name was not gregory.

Yeah, the 1999 album is loaded with self-references. I think he first name checked himself in the song Private Joy.
