Prince to the best of my knowledge has never said that ANY song in his catalogue was written about a girlfriend. I know in "DMSR" by Per Nilsen and "Possessed" by Alex Hahn, that certain songs was written about Susannah, Sheila E, Vanity, Anna Garcia etc., but it seems like Prince is firing a shot across the bow, that only HE KNOWS the motivations behind the lyrics of his songs. Nothing wrong with it. Associates have claimed to be the subjects of songs, and he has the right to dispute those claims.

"In This Bed I Scream" would disagree with you.

While not about a "girlfriend", the liner notes mention something about Wendy and Lisa.

So Prince says it's not about Susanah. He once said come wan't about sex.

So true, Makes you wonder though, if she will clarify if any songs he wrote, were actually written about her or if she will use her presence on the discussion panel, to get any messages she wants across to Prince. Maybe some former Prince associates from the 80s era, feel that at this point in their careers, attaching their past music/working relationship with him, to their names or newly, formed group, will help them obtain more gigs.

How can she clarify that? She didn't write the songs. She can't possibly know for sure.

No, it isn't. People write songs in that manner all the time.

Well maybe P is not one of those people. It is so obvious that is sick and tired of Susan and her nosense. Since he has never said the songs were written about her to the public we really do not know the truth and we really do not need to know the truth. Fiction or real they are great songs and nothing Susan, Wendy or any one else has to say will change that. They are all stuck in the past and gleeming on to Prince and they need to move on. He is so making it clear that he wants to go away.

I'm sorry. Didn't quite catch what was so "obvious". Care to clarify? Who's "sick and tired"? What "nonsense" is Susan Susannah on? Apparently I've missed something.

"the best advice for them because it gives their fans a chance to see their individual talent as musicians/artists, post-Prince." Exactly, The time that Susan spends going on about Prince she could be promoting FDeluxe at this point people are just going to want to hear what she has to say about P and not what she has to say about her new project. Not to mention that you are speaking about an old boyfriend from 20 years ago.
