lol Einstein!!! Man ... ur alive ... in my heart i always knew it ... wink


Okay now ... I HEARD Power fantastic is about Anna Fantastic (what the hell yr was the song made anyway?! i have no idea, so im truly a big help im sure hehe). Lemmon crush is probably about her also or perhaps Kim (a sour puss she is, so i can c that wink ) ?! hmmm ... & 3rdly apparently prince revealed @ a soundcheck/aftershow or possibly @ celebration that Adore was written 4 Susannah... but whether this is all true or not ... thats another question smile

We'll never know for sure who the songs were written for,but I have heard that...



***"When Doves Cry" was written for Vanity.Supposedly,he wrote it right after they split up.


***"Thieves In The Temple" was written for Kim Basinger.Supposedly,he wrote it right after they split up.

***"My Name Is Prince"---supposedly written for Michael Jackson ("you must become a Prince before you're king anyway!")

I always thought it was about Vanity and his bodyguard Chick because of the cocaine references.

Why did he have to waste so much time writing songs about her?
