Dr Mr. Man a classic?

Love this song and think that it's one of his best in years.

Who said that water is a precious commodity. Then dropped a big old black oil slick in the deep blue sea?

wink Sorry about my 1st reply, it's been a tough day and i did not mean to be so rude.

I do not really like the song that much, i would not call it a classic, but each to their own.

I like the album though.

Not a classic. Maybe if it were his first crybaby rant about racism...but since he has beat that dead horse for WAY TOO LONG...NO its not a classic.

I think it's above average. It's got a relaxing sound and he makes some good points; but I don't think it's one of his best in years.

If by classic, you mean hit "skip" every time it comes up, then by all means.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

My favorite lines in this are

"Ain't nothin' fair about welfare
Ain't no assistance in AIDS
Ain't nothing affirmative about ur actions
'Till the people get paid"

Not a favorite track off the album, but not my LEAST fave (which is Illusion Coma Pimp and Circumstance...)

=0P

PS. I DONT like the "ain't no use in voting" bit, though...

I generally enjoy most Prince songs..even the ones pilloried by a lot of people here like Hot summer or Mr good night.

But this is not one of them sad

Yea, whats not fair about it is that there are way too many people on it that dont need to be.

I don't like it. For me it's one of the weaker songs on a weak album.
RIP sad
