Let's go Crazy..Lyrics and Chris Rock Interview

I may be way off here, but after listening to Let's go Crazy, about 100 times now since April 21st...Some of the lines in that song and the "meaning" behind it, is very eerie.

"So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
You know the one, Dr. Everything'll-Be-Alright
Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Ask him how much of your mind, baby"

Granted, this Kornfeld doctor wasn't from beverly hills, but they did call him up seems to be as an "dr. everything be alright".

"Dr. Everything'll be alright
Will make everything go wrong
Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill
Hang tough children"


"Are we gonna let de-elevator bring us down
Oh, no let's go!
Go crazy"

And in his interview with Chris Rock, he explains this song as Heaven being the "lets go crazy" part ....and the elevator being the "hell" part.

Maybe this is all in another thread and I missed it! Sorry if that's the case.

I'm going to link the Chris Rock interview on here. Also, if that's not ok, please edit it and take it out.

Chris Rock/Prince interview. And at about the 13 min. mark, he discusses the heaven/hell/elevator part. Makes me sad he died in an elevator sad
