Coincidence or what?

I just read a Dutch article on some weird history facts on the Dutch city of Utrecht:
http://www.ad.nl/utrecht/..._2001.html
That guy refers to the aftershow on December 24th (am) 1988 in Tivoli (Utrecht)
In the last song of that aftershow Prince sings a song referred to as: "Osama Bin Laden Get Ready To Bomb / 2001: Also Sprach Zarathustra":
http://www.thedatabank.or...my_way.htm
Prince uses lyrics like "Osama Bin Laden Get Ready To Bomb", but at about 3 minutes into this 11 minute jam he says: "America you better watch out, 2001"
I mean WTF... eek
Was this the Sign Of The Times of 1998?

It's a coincidence. Do a search on bin Laden in this forum and you'll find some past discussions of this that clear it up.

l'Ange,

Thanks for the explanation in this thread:

The reference to '2001' was the cue for the Strauss lead line, commonly played on the tour rather than a prediction of bin Laden bombing America in that year.

It makes a lot of sense.
What would the org be without you?
