But, he kept taking Evil's money. Evil, in fact, paid him a LOT of money, throughout their relationship. So much money that TIME magazine actually interviewed him about it.

Then on my 30th birthday, a friend of mine who "collects" made me a tape called "Face Down at 30" with 7 different versions of the song from different "JoY" shows. I was playing it in my car, and my Mother said, "Have we been listening to the same song over & over?"

I went thru a MAJOR "Face Down" phase!

I saw the "Jam of the Year" tour multiple times, and I KNEW that Prince would be on top of the left speaker for the bass solo. So at one show (PNC Arts Center, NJ), I begged the security guard to walk me down to the stage JUST for that song (7th in the set), because I had bought an ace card at Party City and had it laminated. When Prince said, "Next time U pull a card, it better be an ace!", BAM! I popped it up in his face! He looked at me, chuckled, finished the song & I went back 2 my seat happy.
I posted this story in a thread last year called "FAM SHAME "

Now I usually skip it on shuffle. I think I killed it.

Exactly. Dude signed contracts with WB for over 15 years and suddenly, it was a problem for him. If a man doesn't read the googobs of documents he signs, whose fault is that?

He who takes the king's shilling becomes the king's man.
