Yes? WoW! I do see more a place as the Taj Mahal.

Well, the Taj Mahal aint defenetly not on top off the world.
It's on a river side in a valea !!

Did you know the storry behind that building ?

I DO! I DO!

It has to do with DEATH...


That's correct. The Taj Mahal is part of a grave it's only half finished 'cause in mirror Image the same building would be built in Black Marble.

The White grave known as Taj Mahal was built as a grave for just 1 Queen.



Well, they cut off the hands of most of the builders once
the Taj Mahal was built to prevent them from ever creating
any other building as beautiful as that one.

At least, that's what Salman Rushdie states in his novel
"The Moor's Last Sigh".

I suppose it's right. Rushdie usually knows his facts,
especially since I likes to revell in showing them off.



PS: Best song on Emancipation is "My Computer".

White Mansion at the top of the road...
Eye'll b happy don't cha know...

that is a euphemism 4 heaven...

1rst time eye heard it eye thought prince was contemplating suicide.

eye still dig the song 4 what it is, moving and thought provoking."


I really dig this song too, but I think you are reading far too much (or, simply, mis-interpreting) in to the meaning of the lyrics. The White Mansion is Paisley Park and the song is essentially dealing with Prince's early moves, ideas and aspirations with the music industry and summarised how these ideas and his circumstances have changed. It also deals with the trappings and mis-advice given to artists ("Sell my publishing, what a laugh! I don't know Bo, but I do know math!"). The whole song adresses how he realises that he needs to get out of this mire and, one day, will be independant of this beurocratic nightmare, and be happy in his own white mansion, in the snowy climes of Minneapolis.

I don't think he is singing about ending it all, or his path to heaven.
