First time I ever listened to that song-is annnie supposed to be embodiment of all that plagues humankinda?

Actually, I meant explain it, not link youtube

Annie Christian...Annie Christ...= a play on the name Anti Christ. So she is the Anti Christ who is causing all this...bad stuff. I guess.

annie christian= ANY christian = anybody. anybody is capable of the bad things he catalogues in the song. anyone can do bad, it's a darkness that given the right circumstances anybody can become the "anti christ" (opposite of "christ"-like behavior or anti-"christian").

he shows a paranoia ("i'll live my life in taxi cabs") about the terrible things he sees people do (and he is describing the child killings in atlanta in the early 1980's, and government fraud), and it makes him want to retreat from the world; nothing seems safe, because ANY body could be evil.

funny that he actually would become a sort of recluse in various stages of his career, prone to not connect with people/dispose of naysayers, quick to judge and take up a severely structured sort of christianity to make order and sense of his world...

I always thought that since this song is so short, Prince should've melded it with another song, like Sister, to make it longer.
That would be motorin'.

There was really a person named Annie Christian at one time.

That song kicks ass...

"Annie Christian was a whore/always looking for some fun/being good was such a bore/so, she bought a gun..."
