I remember the first time I heard the Do Anything Demos and heard the song "My Little Pill"

I thought this was a tell tale sign that prince was delving into Pills. Eventhough some wrote it off and tried to tell me "its for the movie" I did not go for that. Even then I said "Something is up cuz this song is too odd."

~I just cant go for that no I just can't go for that

But if you really think about it...
He told us in his own little way. And then he released it on "The vault" I always liked that song. I wish it had a extended version. I like it's offkilter melody and time signature.






He probably popped the pills in his microphone gun.
He probably pulls the trigger and out shoots a percodan bullet when the New power fam wasn't looking.

Not that I blame him though. He suffered a leg injury on stage and those suckers are addictive. So says Liza Minelli



What's a single woman with no real man 2 do?
Tryin' 2 raise your kid when he couldn't give a damn about U
All my cares and troubles dive right off my window sill
Everytime I pop my little pill

A pixie does my laundry and the universe my will
All my cares and troubles dive right off my window sill
All my cares and troubles dive right off my window sill
Everytime I pop my little pill

No can do...

You know, now that I think about it, do you think maybe when he did that song Electric Chair for the Batman soundtrack he really wanted to be executed in that manner?

...and The Future. Do you think maybe he really DID see the future and that it really WILL be?

I think we need to reexamine all his music again. Maybe we're not reading enough into things?

Jeeez. Someone writes that Prince ALLEGEDLY tried Ecstacy ONCE, and people make him into Courtney Love. So he experimented! He's an experimental guy. I seriously doubt that he made a habit of it, if indeed he even went back for seconds - he seems like too much of a control freak to enjoy mind-altering substances on a regular basis. Speculation, of course - but I just don't see the guy as a pillhead. Why?

Exhibit A: Michael Jackson.

so in head he really gave head? And he really drank razor blade from a paper cup? He really mixed elephants and flowers?

Listen to the story of a man he is not!!!

Then that means he really raped that girl in the back of the cab in Lady Cabdriver.

All Trickology said was that it made sense now..that Prince felt a little piece of himself be known in a song althopugh veiled of his own personal thoughts on pills. If it wasn't for Trickology, and a few others, Prince would not have toured for TRC last year. Be cool.

I guess God made him on the 7th day too - when God was trying to rest ya'll and then he heard a sound like a guitar go getting down.
Sorry if I misquoted kinda tired but u get the point he is a sexy mf though so that part was true.

What I want to know is what did he do with that ladder he went looking for?

Trickology said:

I want that gun!

rdhull said:

How so? Who's Trickology?

CalhounSq said:

He got Foley recognized etc...an his blatant review of TRC inspired you know who to get his ass up and tour with it instead of just blwouing TRC off as he might have done etc..its complex but just trust me on this. Ill explain more in a bit.

rdhull said:

I trust ya RD, but I think it's a bit over the top to credit one person's opinion with inspiring P to get up tour TRC.

rdhull said:

WHEW, kay

NuPwrSoul said:

I know it seems over the top and I don't blame anyone for thiking that..but some things just are even if it sems a tad bit out there. But not just one persons opinions..around 5-10 roughly.

npgrocks said:

Pill-popping would certainly explain 'NPS' and 'Rave'!

Has it occurred to you that if Prince was poping Percocerts it may have been due to injury to his ankle. I had surgery and had prescription for the stuff and I threw it away as soon as the recovery time was over. The stuff is very addictive.
He is not the first person to get hooked on a pain killer

rdhull said:

Ummm. I'm not as willing to say that 5-10 people posting stuff on the internet were that influential.

TRC was critically acclaimed by most music reviewers, some of whom imagined what it would be like live... then there's Prince's own circle--a bit of an indiscriminating bunch that will probably say "go with it" if they think that's what he wants to hear... so this one may just be the fluke time that having yes men worked (the way he bullied his staff into yes men'ning Purple Rain the movie).

Then there are others. I'm not saying folks like Hass don't usually have insightful commentary on Prince's music; I'm just putting it in perspective.

I know but still..why wouldn't it make sense to have a precious few who "he" or his people knows aint bullshittin? Maybe this time he didnt care what the critics said regardless of praise but went to the common man since this was sort of personal for him and he wanted that everyman feedback. I wholeheartdly believe this is what happened. It only "seems" crazy or like a stretch. It si plain and obvious that he listenszs or has foplks read up on certain things and th e current zeitgeist..hell..we were creamin for Whole Lotta Love and Something In The Water and critic all year long before and bam..what does he end up playing the following year etc? I'm just a believer in it thats all. I know its farfetched ( not really) but that is how I/We do

see that's why you expected a namecheck

no worry, when the church is built, the bishops will make sure you the first in line to get canonized.

I doubt that! They will probably continue to disrespect me and my support. As well as a security alert.
