Billy Jack Bitch OK, I know that I have already read the back story on U tube somewhere on What or rather Who this song is referring to. (Prince's friend, TVR, Nightchild probably)
My question is this... what is a Billy Jack bitch? I am thinking back to the movie "Billy Jack" where the hero of the movie is a real tough guy. You think he is saying she is not just a bitch for saying such bad things about him, but a Billy Jack Bitch? (even worse...) Or, is Prince saying he is going to take the higher ground on this and right all the wrongs like the guy in the movie?
I have always like this song, I guess I just have a little bit too much time in my work commute, and these crazy ideas come to me.... Good morning children...take a look out your window, the world is falling... | |

And yes, CJ is black. word?...i never knew this...i knew the song was about CJ, but i never knew Billy Jack Bitch was code for Silly Black Bitch .. not sure how or why a black man would refer to a black woman as a Silly BLACK Bitch...but otherwise it kinda makes sense [Edited 1/22/20 10:18am] | |

Wow, I did not know that, figured someone would know the answer. Is this common knowledge, or am I just stupid? Good morning children...take a look out your window, the world is falling... | |

The name she called him was Symbolina, a portmanteau of Thumbelina and Symbol (referring to his small size). He even mentions CJ near the end. Read rhe lyrics and listen to it. Welcome to "the org", laytonian… come bathe with me. |

"Billy Jack Bitch" is the type of pejoratice you hear Prince do in his jams with Morris (like Cloreen Bacon Skin). | |

Well, some Controversy here, but it has been enlightening. So I was not the only one who was not sure about this. You all a crazy bunch, but fun. Funk on.....🧞♀️ Good morning children...take a look out your window, the world is falling... | |

i need a tangible witness from inside Prince's family to confirm that Billy Jack Bitch = Silly Black Bitch was what P had in mind...im sorry, i cant buy that... this is the first i heard that story in the 26 years since the song was released | |

Right. I can't imagine it is code for SBB. Seems it is just Prince putting a unique lyrical spin on calling someone a bitch. It goes with the beat of the song, and is catchy. He did this many times with his songs. | |
