I always dug it. It's always reminded me of The New York Dolls "Vietnamese Baby". SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

What exactly do you get scared of PurpleDiamond2009? If you see it in the early Eighties context (politically) I think it was a very strong society statement from Prince in a song. Something which he has not done very often. And see... Ronnie Reagan talked to Michail Gorbatsjov several years later... and they, like smoked - No not Puff The Dragon - the Peace Pipe:

I've always liked it. Purple Punk. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

I think it's supposed to the interluded between Private Joy & this song is beautifully horrific The subject matter is scary, I still remember the world news at that time that inspired this song, and nuclear war seemed inevitable then Prince should incorporate the New Wave again, leave all threads of rap/hip hop alone, because New Wave seems to set him apart, this song was perfect for the genre, same with Tick Tick Bang | |

I always liked the song...It was world caring at the time, and Prince is still conscious of world affairs in his music.  "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |

I view it in a 'nostalgic, period piece' kinda way.
If I took it seriously for a millisecond.....  | |
