Some people seriously need a psychoanalist (these "i believe in Illuminati" crazies). What's so special with this sentence that it pops out in a thread every 3 months. Ossama has been Terrorist #1 since 1993, who did u guys want Prince to evoke in 98 if he wanted to evoke a terrorist? Cut the crap goddammit!

You're not very good with sarcasm are you

Yeah, this shit is rehashed every one or two months. The OP has covered this topic at least two or three times already.

Gosh, I really wonder why Prince still isn't being arrested and tortured for having all that foreknowledge and not doing anything with it, except sing it in the year 1998 to some crazy dutchies in the middle of the night, in some fucking place called 'The Tivoli' in Utrecht Holland.

Must he because he is an Illuminati!

By the way, I was there and it was just a funky jam

Actually I couldn't understand a word of what he was saying, but I guess I did knew yes, unconsciously.

This thread is the !

Dear op, you know to be very carefull with this.

I've allways been intrigued since I heard it back.

However, that's very dangerous to say in here.

Because intrigued will be read here as if

you consider P sings prophecy's and you worship him.

Better be very negative about the most of P his music.

Otherwise other orgers conclude that you are a crazy fan, assuming P is God. Just agree and nod, than you'r okay here.

It does have a funky groove. Who was the drummer and bass player at the time? Seems like around the time of John Blackwell and Rhonda Smith?

Nobody here on this thread is being negative about his music.

Rhonda was there, but JB came only 3/4 years later. I think it was Kirky J on the drums. Or maybe it was Lenny Kravitz. He was there too that night and ircc, he played drums also on a couple of tunes. Not sure who it is on this tune.

If people are freaking about this one they'll go mental when they hear the new boot from one of the private LA parties that's recently appeared. Prince singing, "Osama Bin Laden getting shot in the head".

Be wary people, Prince knows more than you might expect.

Didn't he sum it up best when during concerts he would repeatedly yell out "confusion".

He's seen the future and it will be.

^^ the above should be read with a rolls eyes tone - in case you didn't.

Your logic is not very solid....the real question is...how come he connected 2001: A space Oddyssey to this chant...

Furthermore...how logic is it to have a chant at all about it...its true...Osama was known..but not very well known....

It's all strangely coincidental..yet meaningfull...it's called synchronicity....

He connected 2001 to this chant because... he was performing the "2001 medley" while shouting about Osama. It's a coincidence that the two were next to each other.

Here is some logic about the connection: "So Sprach Zarathustra" is the music (composed by Bach) to the first space scene of the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey (in the scene where the space crafts make love). In that tour Prince performed a theme based on that composition and a background singer would display her skills to that, singing in a high pitch: 2001 - space odyssey.

But of course there is more logic in Prince being aware in 1998 of the plans of Al Qaida to bomb the twin towers, and that is why he included "So Sprach Zarathustra" on the playlist that year. Word is that Al Qaida actually considered withdraw the Twin Towers attack and instead fly airplanes into Paisley Park as a revenge of telling the world of their plans! But they guessed the American people would not be upset by the death of a gay-ish mf with a high voice who went by an unpronounceable name at the time. I kids you not!

^ALSO SPRACH ZARATHUSTRA was composed by Richard Strauss. Don't trip so much.

why not just say "it was kind of a weird coincidence," and leave it at that?

And it is topic worthy... every now and then.

Prince should get a visit from the Navy Seals, followed by some extreme waterboarding in lake minnetonka.

It's only fair.

Would been a real trip if he had put some lyrics to it.

Well dude, he DID... by singing "Osama bin laden is getting ready to bomb! America you better watch out..."

In all fairness, Prince reads up on stuff. And I'm pretty sure that - back then in 1998- he read this indepth article entitled "Inside the Hunt For Bin Laden"

which is till online here http://www.time.com/time/...-1,00.html

READ IT AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND

!!!!

quote:

The targeting of Osama's network began in earnest almost two years after the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, which killed six people and injured more than 1,000.

On a chilly, clear February night in 1995, a helicopter soared over the Hudson River to the FBI's office at New York City's Federal Plaza. Sitting blindfolded in the chopper next to the bureau's Lewis Schiliro was Ramzi Yousef, the mastermind of the Trade Center attack, who had just been nabbed in Pakistan. During the transatlantic leg of the flight back to the U.S., Yousef had bragged that his original plan had been to plant enough explosives in one of the 110-story twin buildings to topple it, killing maybe 250,000 people in the tower and on the ground. But his shoestring operation couldn't afford enough dynamite, and settled for a much smaller blast.

As the chopper neared the Trade Center, agents removed Yousef's blindfold. "See?" said one. "It's still standing." Yousef squinted at the high-rise. "Next time, if I have more money," he finally said, "I'll knock it down."

Schiliro, who's now running the FBI's investigation of the Africa bombings, remembers feeling a chill run through his body.

His fellow agents had already discovered that the terrorist now had the cash to back up his threat. Yousef apparently had a benefactor, a wealthy Saudi expatriate named Osama bin Laden, who in the 1980s had bankrolled mujahedin guerrillas fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan and who had fled his Saudi homeland after he had been charged with inciting fundamentalist opposition to the country's royal family.

[...]

Washington remains sure that bin Laden will strike back. And when he draws blood again, all the past covert operations will be deemed failures because they did not prevent the latest attack. In the calculus of terrorism, the last side to show its fangs becomes the victor for the moment. "The game is tilted in Osama's favor until he's gone," admits a White House aide. "That's the problem we face." If so, this may be a war--for now--without end.

HOW TRUE SOUND THOSE WORDS TODAY?

[Edited 5/6/11 11:02am]

In other words, back then in 1998, there were GREAT worries already, made public and all, that the US - worse even: most probably the twin towers!- would one day soon be attacked by a terrorist network, led by Osama bin Laden.

OBL had OPENLY DECLARED WAR ON THE US and on top of that, there was great evidence, given by Ramses Yousef among others, that the threat was VERY REAL.

EVERYBODY PAYING ENOUGH ATTENTION BACK THEN KNEW ALREADY OSAMA BIN LADEN WAS GETTING READY TO BOMB!

Prince did pay attention, unlike many / most others. And decided to sing about it.

lol I know.

For a FUNK JAM with so much TRUTH in it, those words were more than enough, I would think.

Real question is : are you all going to read that Time article?

No of course not

I will after work.

Having said all that, there is ONLY ONE thing I find intriguing and that it is the choice to say these words on the tune of '2001: also sprach Zarathustra' by Richard Strauss.

Could be 'coincidence'.

Could also be the 'subconscience'...
