The Controversy album was the bomb this morning!!! Everybody,play it now!!Great cd!

I'm gonna co-sign on that. Hearing him do the title track at First Ave on 7/7 made me go back and get into it again. It's awesome!

When I was a kid my mom let me do the 12 tapes for a penny music club and I started going through his back catalogue to check it out. I used to play it all the time back then and my mom was NOT impressed with some of the lyrics. Then one day she came home from work and she was like, "God I was humming this song all day today and I couldn't figure out what song it was and then it hit me, "...and I'll jack U off." She was SO embarrassed.

Now that song is funny. I enjoy it.

Sorry for above accidental post...not enough caffeine yet today.

I can't believe my mother let me listen to Controversy, Dirty Mind, and 1999 when I was 12. I asked her about it recently and she said, "Oh, you didn't know what all that meant anyway." I had the poster from 1999 on my wall of Prince on the bed with the watercolors.

She took me to see Purple Rain when I was 13. She knew she would never hear the end of it until she did. I can still remember sitting next to my mom in the theater during the scene where he brings Apollonia home. Sooooo uncomfortable!
