Annie Chirstian?

What is Prince talking about in the song Annie Christian? Is he blaming women for bad things that have happened? Is he refering to the U.S goverment "ya know when people use the term "her" mother Africa or The U.S as "she." Is he refering to the Devil doing all these things? And when he sings "Until your crucified, I'll spend my life in taxi cabs. Does he mean that he'll be on the run or that taxi cabs are his safe point?

Could you please help me out brother and sisters? Please.

Annie Christian is code for Anti Christ.

Annie Christian is merely a term to personify the Antichrist and can be used refer to a pervading negative attitude that results in great evil being committed against mankind.

See blackguitaristZ´s and giotto´s post for meaning of Annie Christian.

Taxi cabs indeed seem to be some kind of metaphor for a safe point where he can relax or find peace, without having a steady home where he could be tracked down.
Also see "Lady Cab Driver" and " Joint 2 Joint". In Joint 2 Joint, the taxi seems to stand for relaxation and an escape after the wild and chaotic atmosphere that precedes it.There are quite a few taxi references in his music but I can´t really remember them off the top of my head.

Annie Christian, is the propaganda...we believe or disbelieve...

If you believe that someone has terrorized a nation for their own benefit....It will give birth to an angry idea in your heart. And then you have a heart in a person that may not have contained this emotion.

People believe what they have been told...sometimes only where hatefulness is concerned...

The NEWS isn't loaded with stories everyday...about good things that have happened to the people...so what is passed along in the next day's conversation...If it isn't something good?

Sometimes its so simple... lol

Annie Christian = Antichrist = 'bad things' that undermine society and individuals

Anna Stesia = Anesthesia = drugs (wether in the form of a chemical substance or a tempting woman)

Taxis were kind of a running metaphor for a while in his music. I don't think he's used it in recent years though.

Yes - Annastesia is a clever double-meaning, as the name Anastasia also means "rebirth" or "resurrection", intelligently alluding to Prince's epiphany and subsequent "rebirth" after a bad trip on Ecstasy.
