the gold experience is probably my favorite prince or symbol or whatever album of the 90s. billy jack bitch isn't my favorite song from it,but its grown on me. that crazy horn section at the end is some of the funkiest shit i have ever heard. there is an extended version of this song where this part is longer. i think this is the one he should have used as it rocks so much. anyways, it sounds like its about a trifling girlfriend but certain lines beg otherwise. i always wondered where the name came from and who or what the song is directed to. anybody know?

p.s.: that "long hard shiny rocketships" line is priceless.hmm.wonder what he's hinting at.lol.

The song is about Minneapolis' local gossip columnist, CJ, who writes for The Minneapolis Star Tribune Newspaper, She is reknowned for her sarcastic, hurtful, fabrications of Prince and also for all the names she calls him, i.e. Symbolina!!

She also has a lifetime ban on entering Paisley Park!! Although in the late 90s(around 1997/1998), she did conduct a curbside interview with Prince outside Paisley Park!!

oh...i understand the bitch part now. but what does the "billy jack" mean,if anything.

For some reason, when I think of the phrase, "Billy Jack Bitch"; Billy Bob Thornton and a random "Billy Goat" pop into my head. It's quite humoring.

"CJ . . . is Billy Jack Bitch . . . "

I've never seen any of the "Billy Jack" movies and I've often wondered what the phrase refers to for Prince. Billy Jack is a hero in the movies, I believe. Or maybe it means something else to him in the context of the song?

True about the song refering to CJ and whatever "Billy Jack" really means, the song ROCKS HARD in a FUNKY WAY!

The Gold Experience is such a great album!

@ a lifetime ban. I'm not surprised for Prince making Paisley Park off limits for CJ.
