The 1985 "The Ladder"Press Statement-Now Aren't You Glad He's A Liar?

Remember back in 1985 after the PR tour, LIL MAN shocked the music world when he gave a press statement that he was "retiring" from touring and "was going to look for the ladder"? I remember REALLY believing it..back then{But as I grew older with him, his quirky ways and his music, I LEARNED BETTER}.

Just think ORGERS and ESPECIALLY OLD Prince fans, imagine {like John Lennon says} a world with no Prince live shows...no legendary after shows...NOTHING, but Prince albums and videos. That means no SOTT Tour...No Lovesexy Tour...none of that.

Normally when someone tell you lies, it's a bad thing. But in this case, being lied to was definitely a GOOD thing.

Beautiful strange.


Well, if he would have stopped then and there. At least I could have said I witnessed him live during the Purple Rain Tour.

when asked why, didn't he respond, "Because sometimes it snows in April." ???

I remember believing it at the time too.

I think he means it when he says this stuff. He just has a bigass case of ADD and changes his mind quickly, and frequently.

let me come over it's a beautiful day to play with you in the dark

Yes! I remember this. In fact alot of people were saying it was true because of the way Temptation ends:

"I'm sorry.
I'll be good.
This time I promise,
Love is more important than sex.
Now I understand.
I have 2 go now.
I don't know when I'll return.
Good-bye..."

I LOVE how this song ends!

Yeah, I remember this, I never took him seriously though.
BUT, all the other prince fans I knew at that time were like freaking out, I kept saying "he'll be back".
