Sign 'O' The Times!!!!

I have just brought a new Q Magazine Special Edition Magazine, entitled Songs That Changed The World, Princes' Sign 'O' The Times is number 68, with the following statement highlighted:

Prince's discussion of gang culture tapped into the mindset that NWA would espouse the following year.

The article really covers the song in depth and explains that it is a case for raw social commentary that has gone mainstream.

Yes Roz, it's a reasonable full page article with an inset colour picture from SOTT film and a full page black and white portrait opposite froma round 1993, I think.
