In the song The everlasting now, P talks about Sly Stone , but at first who is he talking about ? Himself or Little Richard ? What do you think ?

I think he is talking about himself.

Come on orgers, you could at least answer...
Where are your manners?

...i'll give my opinion..i thought he was talking about himself..
he may be talking about larry graham tho rather than sly...i don't know..but i didn't wanna be rude....

I'm with Rio.

I took the song to be about himself. All verses. Only Prince knows for sure and even he may change his mind.

I think he is talking about himself!

"Himself or Little Richard ?" ...
BOTH. There are A LOT of similarities. Same experiences, different time period. Don't think so? Talk with an African-American 50+.
I learned A LOT within the past year from an elder e-mail buddy who had me RESEARCHing "African Americans" in music history. Regardless of what many would have you believe, very little has changed and P ain't just talkin' out the side of his neck!
Visit the library people ... the media would discredit a musical pioneer's work and TRY to have you believe he's a joke because ...? (Simultaneously, many new jacks are trying to - forcefully, and pitiably I might add - emulate him and, as a result, are being compared to him left and right; but, yet and still, he's "unpopular," in every sense of the word?)
Prince should do this ... Prince could have done that ... but, one thing's for sure ...
Play by the rules or get s****ed on. "... and you laugh at my man Little Richard when he says you ain't gave him nothing!" LAAAWD, I need to listen to Tony M get his piece in at the end of Jughead ... now, you KNOW Sirnose done got me fired up! I'M OUT.
"Sir, you got a librareeee?"
RESPECT.
