The young Prince would look at the old Prince and would think: "Daily Mirror??? Really??? My future IS bleak..."

and there's this:

"when i'm 52 i'll be releasing my albums via tabloids and doing deals with beer companies"

or "when I am 52 I will have outlasted 99% of my peers and continue to have the freedom do do whatever I want"

He wasn't inspired by James Brown? Really?

James brown was under 30 when he inspired Prince as was all of the people mentioned here.

James Brown was born in 1933. By the time Prince was inspired by him, he would've been over 30 by that point, least around '65. He was 32.

i'm not the prince you know, but i do thank you for your private message

i have never written a song about you, and unless you have personally met prince and had some kind of meaningful communication with him, it might not be wise to presume he has ever written a song about you either

wishing you all the best, and whilst i empathize with your belief, i respectfully ask that you give me some breathing space on these boards

And obviously Joni Mitchell.

Jimi Hendrix would have been 30 when Prince was 14...

this video has shown how Jimi was killed,

therefore, it was already deleted.

from a freedom to do what he wants, when he wants then yes BUT say if the P from Purple Rain listened to his CDs from Emancipation onwards well you know the rest!!

No. He'd be like "who the fuck is THAT pussy"

he really would, and choose sly stone, hendrix and whoever over that pussy and think of him as a wannabe...sorry I like some recent prince too, but he can't hold a candle
