SO ON THE DRIVE HOME I PUT ON THE WENDY WILLIAMS SHOW ON 107.5 WBLS. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME "MUSICOLOGY" WAS PLAYED ON THE RADIO HERE IN NYC.

THIS GUY "BABY PAUL" FROM SONY WAS IN THE STUDIO AND GAVE WENDY A CHANCE TO PLAY THE NEW SONG.

IT WAS OKAY. SHE DIDN'T CARE FOR IT MUCH. I AGREE WITH HER WHEN SHE SAID "IT'S NOT SOMETHING I'D WANNA HEAR WHEN I'M DRIVING OR IN THE CLUB. SHE SAID IT'S MORE LIKE MUSIC YOU PLAY AT A FUNCTION WHERE THERE'S NO DANCING JUST PLEASANT BACKGROUND MUSIC."

I THINK SHE PRETTY MUCH NAILED IT.

I REMEMBER WHAT THE IMPACT HIS LEAD SINGLES USED TO HAVE ON ME. I CAN PRETTY MUCH REMEMBER WHERE AND WHEN I FIRST HEARD A NEW PRINCE RELEASE. THIS DIDN'T HAVE THAT FEELING.

SO WENDY ASKED HIM IF IT WAS POSSIBLE TO GET PRINCE IN THE STUDIO FOR A SIT DOWN AND HE SAID YEAH. BUT SHE SAID HE HAD TO BRING THE WIFE. THE GUY WAS PROBABLY TALKING OUT HIS ASS, BUT YOU NEVER KNOW.

ANYONE ELSE LISTEN TO WENDY?

Something about her really bugs me. She has a strange sour edge.

your right about that. sometimes you just wanna smack her.... well... most of the time. but my cd player is buggin and i just happened to turn to that station when P came on. wasn't she taken off the radio back in the day?

Me and my shorty heard it, too here in Chicago. I was suprised that my nine year old liked it and I called the radio station so she could give them her feedback. It was so cute.

I still say they shoulda given her a prize for calling in.

I had an accident last April 1st on my way to that radio station to pick up concert tickets I won. No "can we help you", no "can we give you a ride home", nothing. So them not giving her a prize does not suprise me.

Fuckers.

Want me to break some legs?

Please?

FunkMistress said:

Nah, that's alright. It was just one of those moments in life where I realized folks just don't give a fuck.

TheOrgerFormerlyKnownAs said:

Yeah, but I could make 'em be givin' an insurance copayment, though.

Please?

FunkMistress said:

Whenever I'm up there and hear the Wendy Williams show, I too want to reach through the radio and pimp slap the woman. But for the most part, I agree with her assessment of this track.

all this negativity around musicolgy is making me think something is wrong with me.. i absolutely love every song i've heard... i'm so excited i feel he is really onto soemthing and has a good vibe aroudn this record... i think people just hear the name prince and expect soemthing else...


i can't get musicology out of my head!

There's nothing wrong with you. I love the song. And the video.

I could sure use my 500 bucks right now.....

Don't let what people say get to you. I have always said Graffiti Bridge is my favorite Prince album and it's not gonna change because a lot of Orgers don't like it.
