New Releases: Prince Offers Lessons In Musicology

Prince

In the past we haven’t always understood what Prince was on about in his songs. Why, for instance, did the girl in "Little Red Corvette" carry around used Trojans? Why is Tennessee the furthest, hottest place to drive the girl in "Alphabet Street?" And why does he think that girlfriends — as in best friends, not Sapphic buddies — wash each other’s hair, as he sings in "If I Was Your Girlfriend?"

In spite of not always understanding his references, most Chart editors still love the little purple guy, even if he has made a pretty misguided move in releasing an album, Musicology, that concentrates partially on 9/11. Now, we understand that just about every creative person felt the need to respond to that traumatic day, but most people did it a couple of years ago. Surely there’s been more in Prince’s life since then that’s worth discussing. Even if he’d chosen this topic, but avoided all the sappy ballads, it would’ve been OK. But he didn’t, so it’s not

If they can't understand the "Trojan and some of them used" line, then the "chart staff" is too clueless to assess Musicology... and probably Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.

I sent this e-mail to Chartattack:

"Your Prince review is the most laughable thing I have read... You guys need to get educated about Prince and soon!"
