What was the impetus for Computer Blue? It isn't Love, because LOVE isn't a Compter and it isn't Blue.

Impetus? I looked that up and I still don't get it entirely...can you clarify for me, please. Because I think I might know the answer.

i think maybe he was a bit of a geek & wanted excuse 2 write a song about computers - but of course he had 2 make it sexy..
he probably had access 2 computers when most normal people didn't & even back then computers would have been a vehicle 4 porn..

alternatively he could've been feeling blue cuz his computer was pissin around on him

The extended version makes alot more sense.(over TEN minutes. eek. But I love it way more than the album one)

"Poor lonely computer
It's time some one reprogrammed you.
Love and Lust both have 4 letters But are entirely different"

He's like a computer he doesn't know what love is.
(paraphrased)

Momentum of the song....how the song moves u, Why did Prince write a song about a lonely computer feeling the blues....hmmm....could it be that we are all wired to find our true loves? relationships that let you down are good for tears of saddness, but true love brings pink joy, and purple tears...maybe.

Who the fuck do you think you are talking to me like that?
I asked a question and I was trying to answer yours.
Don't spit that shit to me like that.
I don't need some smart ass response like that.

theodore said:

ok, in all seriousness, i cannot explain enough how much i agree with that. it's really annoying when a thread is posted and someone is asking for an opinion (?) but apparently doesn't want any opinions other than a specific one they are seeking...?
