The Symbol

compliments of my brother, all you folks that have the vid for "when Doves Cry" look at the vid about 45 to 60 seconds in, and look at the windows in the background, there is a clearly a symbol on the right one lol
If it were not for insanity, I would be sane.

I dunno, when i got into Prince, Frankie goes to hollywood were in the charts, and had all this symbol stuff going on, I saw the symbol on the motorbike (purple rain poster) and thought cool, that and Dez´s headbands. lol

I was actually surprised yrs later that Prince would become this symbol, but it is actually fitting of Prince, he always dared to be asexual, albeit be called metro sexual these dayz wink

Hasn't Prince been using the 'Symbol' since atleast 1983??? It's all over the 1999 era but I think I have seen it somewhere in pictures around the Controversy era too.
Looking for a new man. Freaks need not apply. Freeeks can tho ;-p

Back in 1983,
I used to consider myself as sort of a symbol of justice.
Nowadays,
I just sit around & org all day long.
I just don't care anymore.

What about in UTCM? I swear there's a 'shadow' of the symbol on the bedroom wall - in the scene where Christopher's been out all night with Mary Sharon, and he and Jerome are in the bedroom arguing, Jerome says "You dogged me, you got laid!" and behind him on the wall, at the top, is a symbol!!

Unless, it's just a complete coincidence or I'm now seeing things that don't exist
lol

I think ideas come to Prince but he doesn't put them out to the public right away, like the symbol thing.
