Does anyone know if these things are true?

So I was listening to Sacrifice of Victor the other day for the first time in years and I was thinking about the lyrics where he talks about being born on a blood stained table and being epileptic. I remember reading something about this ages ago but can't remember what was said. Does anyone know if these things are true?

neutral I'm going to say no,because epilepsy is a seizure disorder,and I have never heard of or seen him having seizures. I think it would have been very difficult if not impossible for him to have had the career he has if he had such a condition.

In the lyric booklet, it says it's true. I don't have access to it right now, but "TRUE" is either superimposed or in parentheses or something like that.

Yeah, it says "TRUE" backwards after 'Epileptic 'til the age of 7'.

So, if it's backwards, maybe it's NOT true. The opposite of NATO is OTAN.

this lyric booklet was put together before prince went nuclear on language. things printed in reverse used to just be 'secret messages.'
