I heard a rumor that the song Dinner With Delores was about Madonna. It kinda makes sense - Prince sings about Delores eating like a Brontosaurus (Madonna was a big eater) and showed dirty movies (Madonna was into spanky films and books and showed such stuff to her "friends").

What do you think?

Madonna does dance like a white girl.

I thought it was about a manager he had 'round about that time

I remember in 1985,there was a rumor that "Raspberry Beret" was about Madonna (who Prince was seeing at the time)

I would think it was acombination of individuals who thought of Prince's music as only as good as Purple Rain album and didn't move on musically with Prince. And throw in some infamous CJ esque atitudes from various critiques and you get dinner with delores. (Of course just guessing.)

I think Prince was answering all his critics and their thought process.

not sure he'd waste such a sweet guitar solo thinking about Madonna.

Madonna was a big eater and showed fetish movies to her so-called friends? Have you been watching MTV News re-runs from 1992?

I thought Dinner With Delores was a metaphor, with "Delores" having an insatiable appetite for sex, not actual food.

Why not? He wasted his time making fun of madonna in the love4oneanother special, or maybe, TBE special, where her video came up on their studio TV and he made that priceless face.

lol

Initial tracking took place in early April, 1996,

Prince actually respects Madonna and has spoken well of her in interviews

there is no way he wrote this about her. I don't know why people think Prince doesn't like her

And how could Madonna dance like a white girl.

I always thought she danced like a gay black man

I always thought he said "this girl was eating all but the TIN" like a tin fork or something

I always assumed Primce went back in time and the song was literally about a whorish brontosaurus he met. But I guess there was no carpet back then, so that doesn't make much sense. It's probably about Madonna.

Sizes of respective brains being somewhat the same, I would leave that option opened.

No, but I've heard Love Bizarre was. Specifically the line "it gets kind of rough in the back of a limousine"

Unless Prince said what it was about, I cant give a damn about what anyone else speculates or claims it is about. Call me old fashioned - I believe in the horse's mouth in this sorry ass, fake ass, lying, social media-driven perversion of reality that has contaminated everyone on the planet.
