Huh?...The PR fits the story line of the MOVING? Yeah, whatever. What u just stated is HELLA reaching since it doesn't make a lick of sense. DUDE.

It wasn't. The set designers placed that poster of Lennon there.

blackguitaristz said:

So in essence, the set designers were given instructions by someone other than the director to place the poster there.

You were doing so well for a few words. The correct way to start your second sentence would be the word "Then."

laurarichardson said:

Umm..please speak for yourself when you say "Nobody" I can speak for myself thanks!


WTF! Where did you get that at? here is a link you might wanna read;

http://www.housequake.com...orldinaday

"Whereas the US reviews were predominantly positive, most British critics seemed unimpressed, accusing Prince of blatantly copying The Beatles as well as other groups of the psychedelic era. Much like “Ronnie, Talk To Russia” on Controversy, “America” was widely criticised as being simplistically anti-Communist."

Lisa's brother wrote the majority of the album.So really he had NOTHING to do with copying anyone at that point.

Holy crap BG, that picture of John Lennon on the wall is almost impossible to see unless you pause. I've seen Purple Rain 50 billion times and never caught that.
Thanks for pointing that out...I had also never noticed the pic of John Lennon on the cover of SOTT, very cool. I'm a big fan of Prince AND Lennon so I appreciate you pointing that out.

blackguitaristz said:

Actually if you listen to studio bootlegs, and the anthology... Lennon is saying "Cranberry Sauce"... but it can sound like "Paul is Dead"

ufoclub said:

Yes, it was that time of year, they were talking about Americans & Thanksgiving & that's just some random line he uttered.

laurarichardson said:

You really are quite dense. See above.

thanks for posting blackguitaristz,

Ill check out the dvd I hadnt noticed that before, I guess you become so familiar with a thing that you stop noticing the fine detail. Did you just see it or were you pausing etc or slow tracking to have a good look at the scene details?


(shame viewaskew had to jack the thread - again! lets not turn this into a hate thread guys please, no more arguments or personal shit!! The idea is to discuss, like adults!)

in my opinion, prince has rewritten lennon's "imagine" a dozen different times now
the ideals of the lyrics pop up a trillion time in prince's concert speeches
what's this new alchemic golden age about anyway that he speaks of
relatively speaking, to accept it, one must be blind to the Truth
that's all i'm saying

viewaskew said:

ive watched the movie countless times ( i stopped counting at 50 in the 80's) and ive never noticed lennon- too busy looking at the characters to be worried about scenery

prb said:

like i said you get too familiar with something little detail passes by!

syble said:

whose looking at the walls- when the man is in the room

prb said:

Carfeul now - youll get accused of being A CRAZY FAN!!!

but of course you are right!!!

syble said:

FAM!!!!!


ME!!!!!







well, just a little

Viewaskew isnt starting any fights we are conversing in a civil manner and holding a good convo IMHO. Conversations can get a bit heated but so far nothing out of the ordinary either I think.

ufoclub said:

ufoclub, u really think John is saying "Cranberry Sauce"? I KNOW that's what John said he was saying but, to me, it really sounds like he's saying "I Buried Paul". That's what he's saying dammit! (smile)

emilio319 said:

Your quite welcome.

syble said:

Yeah, I had first noticed it when the film was released on VHS. That was in late 84, or early 85. I noticed it then. I didn't freeze it or anything. I just happen to see a picture of someone hanging on the wall and so I went back and saw that it was Lennon. I just never thought about asking about it on here untill a few days ago.

viewaskew said:

The Beatles MADE Prince.....

.....and before u get my previous post twisted: BULLSH*T.

syble said:

I haven't "jacked" anything. It's not my fault people can't read.

I am needing a little help finding this on the SOTT cover.

John Lennon's face is on the right hand side.

blackguitaristz said:

When did he say that? Dirty Mind hit shelves October 8, 1980...two months to the day before Lennon was murdered.

renfield said:

Like many things in this thread, he never said it, intended it or thought it, but when the word 'cult' appears in a thread such as this, it's not only fitting, but defines the parameters of the conversation.

Was Prince aware of John Lennon and The Beatles? Of course he was, anyone in the west who wasn't aware of them was either senile or a hermit. Did the Beatles have an overt influence on his music until Wendy and Lisa and David Coleman turned him onto their music? No. This is documented somewhere, I don't have the source in my memory, but that's where I've taken the statement from, not my flighty opinion of desire.

As has been pointed out time and time again, he didn't even know While My Guitar Gently weeps before the Rock and Rock HOF performance.

Has anyone else noticed the negative image of Joni Mitchell and the purple unicorn thirty one minutes and twenty one seconds into Under The Cherry Moon? She's wearing John Lennon glasses and drinking a glass of soy milk. You just know Prince had the set designer put that there for a reason.
