Time Magazine article error

Hey,
not sure if this has been posted, probably has, but Time ran an article on Musicology in their April 12th issue.

In the article they quote lyrics from the album, claiming Prince cant stay clean for long.

I'm paraphrasing here.

...Although being Prince he can't stay clean for too long. By thew second track "illusion, Coma, Pimp & Circumstance" he sings of a giggolo and his unattractive fare
"Ugly/ She was so ugly/ The Bitch beyond compare"

I'll admit I used to hear that for a second before the reallyrics became evident, but you'd think they'd read the book first!

Yeah, it was mentioned. I never thought the line was "the bitch beyond compare", but I know a lot did.

So, the more important question here is: Has anyone contacted Time and let them know of their error?

LOL

yeah Time Magazine hasn't made any important mistakes lately!

It's funny I never read Time (guess it shows eh?) but I was at the doctor's office and picked it up.

The cover read: Why did Jesus have to die?

lol

If i were to start a complaints letter...

Well, it just seems to me that while we're all here (many way too damn much), how little time it would take out of someone's day to enlighten Time about their error, as well as request an apology (open forum) to Prince and his loyal fams for such a mistake.

However, I put my money where my mouth is always and I wrote Time a letter myself. worship

As soon as I remember where I put my life, I'll let you know. call

I believe Time did correct their mistake the following week.
