As do I. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

My personal fave on the album is "The Future", I love it when Prince gets a little dark and shows his balls, (metaphorically speaking!)
And I notice a couple of posts mentioning people going "crazy" in cinemas... is this normal in the US? In England if you make unnecassary noise you either get thrown out or get a smack in the face!  | |

crazymf said: "The Future" contains one of the most shockingly prophetic lines I think I have ever heard:
"Yellow smiley offers me X, Like he's drinking 7-up" I don't know if it was intentionally done (I don't know how it could be possible), but "yellow smiley" could be someone jacked up on ecstacy = "X" It amazes me every time I hear it. Prophetic, how? Ecstacy had been around for some time by this point. | |

Ecstacy had been around for some time by this point. he's proabably joking around but he thinks ecstacy was going to hit the plateua in later years..when Prince wrote about it and supposedly took it, it had already been around and the rave seen was already at a peak elsewhere...Europe etc...as a gay cousin used to say...LATE!

This is actually one of my favorite albums. I think it's underratyed. I always listen to the Batman Soundtrack. | |
