The Morning Papers, yea or nay! Rock and roll glory or a rip of Purple Rain? You make the call. I think it is a very good song, one of the better ones from Lovesymbol, a very underrate album.
Nice chorus, nice solo, singable lines. Just an overrall wonderful song.
Still in shock this was not a big hit. All you others say Hell Yea!!  | |

I've always thought it was cool. Not sure what's up with that plaid vest he was rockin' at the time, though... | |

I don't hate it nor do I love it and I am not suprised it was not a big hit. The song did/does nothing for me. | |

Definite yea all the way!! This song has really grown on me over the years after hearing it first when was only pretty young, around 9/10 yrs old. At first I thought he was trying to write something with that real New York David letterman band kind of sound with the horns n the arrangement and found it kinda average but alas time and repeated listens have revealed it to be an absolute gem. Crank that shit up!! one of his finest songs for sure |

My guess is since Grunge was really popular at the time, some stylist probably suggested he wear Flannel. JERKIN' EVERYTHING IN SIGHT!!!!! | |

Yes!
This lyric is such a stand out to me ~> "Should we ask the moonlight on your face or the raindrops in your hair?" Prince & his way with words | |

I like the song though. Good sound, great guitar & drums, horns anre nice. A pure Prince song I'd say. "Hyperactive when I was small, Hyperactive now I'm grown, Hyperactive 'till I'm dead and gone"

I've always liked that one too "Hyperactive when I was small, Hyperactive now I'm grown, Hyperactive 'till I'm dead and gone"

Love it. I always imagine it in a less polished sound, quite like he would do it in atwiad and parade era. My Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/tundrah | |

Yea.
Don't dig it as much as I used to though. | |
| - E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
it's okay but it's not one of my favorites from that album. | |
| - E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
Yay. | |

of course yes! One of the few songs with a really great vocal performance. There arent that many where he sound that great. We have Thieves in the temple, Call my name, Most beautiful Girl (Mustang mix), I love u in me, shhh (live-the beautiful Experience)........At the moment i cant think of any other songs... | |

I thought I'd see a bunch of haters. Thanks guys for seeing the beauty in such a simple little chunk of rock heaven.
I did hear Roadhouse Garden yesterday, so let's not forget our priorities, this song is really good, but songs like RG are godly. lol All you others say Hell Yea!! | |

It almost makes up for what he did to Love 2 The 9s. Almost...but not quite. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

Yea, The Morning Papers is a great song | |

Yea! I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

I think that might be his comment on the grunge scene based on what was happening in the biz during those years. | |

Love it! And the guitar solo was one of the highlights from the Act II show that I saw. Occupy Alphabet Street!

Oh, I like The Morning Papers fine. Love 2 The 9s is just more bad than The Morning Papers is good.  We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |
