Prince is definately feminine and used 2 play up that he MIGHT b gay just 4 effect.

I have heard stories of the drugs - the cursing - the (secret) baby but NEVER that he was with a man

U used 2 live very close 2 Prince maybe something happened that I dont no about. Let me no?

There are others here who know more than me. You don't see them going out of their way to deny it. But as I said, it's all good. Doesn't matter. Just wish he was cool about everything he is or isn't. I think then he could really be himself and focus on music rather than pretend to be completely something he isn't

come on now, isn't this just fuelled by rumours / chinese whispers that get wayyyy out of hand. We hear this nonsense all the time. BTW I couldn't care less if he were bi, straight or gay. It's just like the constant drugs rumours recently. The 'others' that know more than you , what do they actually think they know - or have they just heard more rumours?.

What is the sense of even trying. If you don't believe Prince is bi, then you don't know Prince. That simple. And honestly, it's his business until he reveals it in a song released publicly.

When you live in Minneapolis, you hang out with friends and girlfriends/ "friends" of PRN. You know what is up. But you say the truth here and people flip out.

Just like about his brother. Prince did not get along with him. Word was he disputed thier relation. But does anyone want to hear this? Sickens me sometimes as to what is the truth, and what people want to believe.

OMG, like anyone around here should believe your bs stories and just because someone told you something, doesn't make it true either. So unless YOU blew Prince, you don't KNOW anything like that.

yeah, I always think of this when I listen to the song. it makes it more poignant than thinking about it being Prince's character in the movie and that sissy flop he does when he gets shot

I'm pretty sure it had to have been written about someone/something else and got the "Tracy" tacked onto it. a la "Little Girl Wendy's Parade"

But the leade charactor was Christopher Tracy not Tracy. Why would you call a good friend by their last name?

I have friends who have called me by my last name for 40 years, it's really not unusual.

must admit, to get back on topic, that I always thought this and UTCM were tributes to Chris Moon [for those who know their Purple history!]

Plus, 'Christopher' doesn't really scan as a lyric. Too clunky.

you're a little "special" aren't you?

Same subject, different song:

Anna Stesia

Have U ever wanted 2 play
With someone so much U'd take
Any one boy or girl?

How many other songs make this kind of reference?

Jack U off (jack who off?)

Head? Why not "Cunnilingus?"

Well if you know Prince is bi sexual come out and say it but neither SISIA or Anna Stesia are evidence of this. Civil war as you have define earlier just means surely a conflicted character who is now at rest Anna Stesia is again surely Prince speaking on behalf of both men and women. There is too much reading into this song here-it doesn't make sense for Prince to be angling the lyrics of a man to a man-I dont even think brotherly love would make those lyrics work-if anything you are all corrupting it

Not so much. Just a topic.
