Whole of the Moon

So according to previous .org treads, this Waterboys song was written partly about Prince.

And a quick google brings up a Mojo music book that says 'Old England', a track from the same Waterboys album, features crowd noise from a Prince bootleg.

...The set included a surprise cover version of The Waterboys' 'The Whole Of The Moon'. The song – originally released in 1985 – is long rumoured to have been written about Prince. The band have denied this but singer Mike Scott told Uncut that the sound was inspired by Prince. (continues...)

I thought this song was "about" a famous author?
