I think it’s strange that Susan references “It” as being one of his deeper songs. Am I missing something here?

Deeper thrusts?

One could learn a lot about how someone expresses their affection from it's lyrics I suppose. I think the key is the line "I gotta tell you what you mean to me" when the entire song is about having sex. Kind makes you think, well, why not just say you love her? lol. What does the urgent and constant sex have to do with it?

I mean she compares It with Sign O The Times, The Cross, and Adore. Definitely a head-scratcher. Or maybe she meant the secret first version that was too personal, and was subsequently destroyed.

did Prince know that Susan Rogers was his pshychiatrist and guidance counselor?...i thought he hired her to connect wires and push buttons...she's so presumptuous and obnoxious, and arrogant...with her fake accent [Edited 9/24/20 5:06am]

Ain't nothin arrogant or obnoxious about Susan, if anything you're obnoxious. Be glad that there was people around that knew Prince inside and out. He should've been grateful for that. It's not good when nobody, not family, not friends knows you.

This was supposed to be a discussion on the episode. Why all the negative comments?! And it has nothing to do with the episode.

Here's my two cents.

Anyone who thinks 'Camille' is a female persona isn't paying attention. If Camille was supposed to be female then the song 'If I Was Your Girlfriend' no longer makes any sense.

"Will you remember, and tell me all the things you forgot WHEN I WAS YOUR MAN!"

Its sung from the pov of a trans woman remembering when she was a man

the lyrics suggest more a possessive part of someone in a relation who wants to control all of its ,in an area where he can not and doesn't understand. There seems to be a need to connect, been seen and especially been heard in it.

for it reflects a part of Prince who was quite controlling In his own relations with woman.

It was interesting hearing Warner Bros perspective. I didn't know he submitted the triple album Crystal Ball for release and was really mad they wouldn't release it. They were only interested in commercial success. Thats probably why he went back in the studio and recorded U Got The Look. Zappa went through the same thing when he submitted the triple album Läther and they wouldn't release it.

Yep and that's what makes super deluxe so disappointing to me that the TITTLE TRACK opus was relegated to a 7" edit. After all of these years with a commemorative release they still chose to edit down his work. To me that is so disrespectful and what makes it such a disappointment.

Unless there were indeed legal issues with the full version due to its inclusion on CB '98? None of the tracks that were on that release are on this release with the exception of a shortened edit, and a different version of Crucial from that release

Yes apparently there may have been rights issues, but still, if you're going to do this right you iron them out and not go on to a half ass release.

.

Ultimately I need to walk away from this discussion becasue the more I think of it the more disappointed I get. There is a lot to be happy about this release so i need to exit this discussion and not spoil other's enjoyment of it.

Awww, don't be jelly that you did not get to spend 24/7 with our purple maestro!! I would say, considering Prince called Susan to PP the night of his "X" trip (which has been confirmed by multiple sources) to tell her he loved her, I think she's got some credibility in knowing certain things about what was going on in his life at that time.

Oh, and she literally never speaks any other way, so I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that she is not speaking with a "fake accent"

Wrong on all accounts. Educated doesn't mean arrogant.

BOOM!!! Exactly. She's highly educated, smart, and eloquent. However, haters gonna hate, so they twist that into "arrogant" in order to be critical. It's okay though, because unlike anyone commenting here, SHE worked with Prince for 4 years.
