Prince,Ice Cream Castles"&Interracial Dating

though "Ice Cream Castles" the Album isn't something I get Hyped about,I was listening to the Lyrics¬iced that on this Album unlike any other Albums Associated with Prince that He was Making a Social Statement about Dating in a Social Commentary Way.with "Ice Cream Castles","Jungle Love"&at the End Flipping folks off with "The Bird".anybody else thought about this Album being A Prince Commentary?? Jesse Co-Wrote "Jungle Love"&He also may have been wanting to get a Mesage out as well? Jesse has done that on His Solo Albums. thoughts

since aint nobody answering u i will...

I think that that may be true. Ice Cream Castles du put the statement of Inter-racial dating, even Per Nilsen said that in Prince from 1993.

I dont know if they really contributed at all as much as they wanted 2. Jesse did get his solo put in, but Prince wasnt even about 2 let him do it if it wasnt good enough.

Although my favorite track o nthe album is "My Draws" Very under-rated track on this LP.
Straight Jacket Funk Affair
Album plays and love for vinyl records.

It struck me the first time I got the album back when it was new. Prince had never so obviously tackled that subject before lyrically to my memory. It's my favorite song on the album, which I consider the weakest of The Time's first 3 (never heard Pandemonium). The song feels like it has so much yearning about it.
This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes.
