You meke the WB sound like a charity or something benevolently giving out favors. If Prince wasn't so bad-ass talented as a musician and so ignorant about the business side of music that they could keep 95% of the revenue they made off of him, they never would have signed him. As soon as he stopped making enormous profits for WB the shit hit the fan. So I don't see any reason to thank WB.

Yep, they benevolently gave out favors, they benevolently let him produce his music, they benevolently supported and promoted his albums, they benevolently produced his crap movies, they benevolently made him a superstar...

And please, Prince made a lot of money with Warner, if it wasn't for Warner I don't know where Prince would be...

Thank God for dirty dishes
They have their tale to tell
While others are going hungry
We are eating very well.

I do not know the author, but my girlfriend and I used to hang this saying by the sink.

But thank you Prince for growing that cute little booty of yours...

And thank you for showing it to the world in 1991 at the VMAs! lol (Changed my life and made me know who Prince was!)
I love a Man who:
Wears More Make Up Than Me.
Wears Four Inch Stilleto Boots.
Changes His Name To An Unpronouncable Symbol.
Who Changes His Name Back From An Unpronouncable Symbol.
Oh And Most Importantly, Who Is Sexy Little Drop Of Butterscotch

Thank you, King George of England, for creating new taxes for the colonists of North America to pay for the French-Indian War.

By doing this, you incited the American Revolution that freed the colonists from English rule and allowed the states to be formed, thereby allowing us to have Minneapolis, where a little yellow short dude would get famous for being a musical "genius".

King George, I salute you!
