If J. Edgar were still around, I am sure Prince would have been classified as a "potential messiah figure" or "charismatic leader" and thus wiretapped for decades. Are we sure we want to see those files?

Not sure I trust the FBI after four series of Kevin Spacey's House Of Cards. If anything needed to point out how all future present time is deliberately stretched to fill content hours per subscription fee.

"Oh ouchy I need a new liver lets have a giant dream sequence for twelve hours."

Is what your imaginary friend at the FBI would say. Hang on, this report has been filed in a sequence of Supertab instructions that can only be read when the band plays at the correct tempo next to this portable ice chiller.

Etc razz

i wish i'd never kissed your lips, bearded lady

he might, don't really see why, after the early rockers, nothing the later guys did could really be considered subversive, or rather, not anything different or more subversive than what came before. The early rockers deserve credit, they were legit threats.

Just so folks know, I believe about 0% of what any government agency tells me. The interest would be in what, if anythig, the FBI built a file on regarding Prince, Michael Jackson, etc. I mean, when you see the propaganda that Nixon put together about Cuba - and realize he wasn't the only one, the story from the FBI about Prince would be fictional gold.

After all of Tipper Gore's shenanigans in the 80s? Of course, he does.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

From what I understand, everyone had a file. It may not containe much. Birthdate, parents, HS grad. Stuff like that. Some have larger files though if they draw attention, or associated with others who may have been under investigation.
