 • Did you first think Prince was gay? •
Wendy: He’s a girl, for sure, but he’s not gay. He looked at me like a gay woman would look at another woman. Lisa: Totally. He’s like a fancy lesbian. | |

Beg pardon if this was already discussed. I have them after one another on my itunes funky politic playist.. rather than sound the same, they have both been given the same treatment. Colonized Mind is a bit to Rock to fit.  [Edited 4/6/09 6:43am] One minute they want peace……
Then do everything to make it go away.  | |

I think Dear Mr. Man was the better song, although I love both.
I also think Dear Mr. Man had hit potential on some level if it was marketed correctly. And maybe if it written and performed by a new artist. | |

Sorry I was half asleep when I wrote that. I know what I mean, just having a hard time explaining. I think no one could do Dear Mr Man better than Prince. But I think Prince has the curse of being "Prince" so therefore the song wouldn't have been given a chance as much as if maybe, say, India Arie did the song. I think Dear Mr Man is an excellent song and could have been a relatively big hit in certain demographics. But because it was Prince it may not have been given the chance. Does that make any sense? | |

Does that make any sense? i get that, Prince being Prince is a disaster outside the fanzone and the odd person that has an ear for music. Even the so called rubbish Prince brings out, and it is sometimes awful, like PE, matches the crap on the top 40. Even people i know that are musicians, have no clue, they have a capability to hit a chord, but the rest is 0, which makes me happy i didnt ever try to be a musician If it were not for insanity, I would be sane.

Ol' Skool is the lighter side of Dear Mr. Man which has rather heavy music messages in it. Like them both Prince's Sarah | |

I heard the album version a few days ago... and I was actually thinking that the notes he sings the verses in sounded so much like the verses in "Dear Mr. Man"
And the things he talks about in this song seem to fall into the same vein. Only instead of talking politics, he's calling out the posers in the music industry 
one of the few good things I picked up from MPLSound had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong. It started raining, baby, the birds were gone | |
