"Others Here With Us" The line that references suicide, is he specifically talking about Bobby Z.'s uncle who killed himself? 
"Bobby had an uncle who took a string And wrapped his neck around it, a pitiful thing If only we can turn back the hands of time Except there's others here with us, life is sublime..." | |

How did he manage to wrap his NECK around a string. Bobby's uncle sho' nuff had one long neck! He coulda saved himself loads of time and energy by wrapping the String around his neck.

One of my favorite bootlegs. Haven't heard a clean version of it, though. He should release it, as long as he doesn't screw with it like he did Old Friends for Sale. | |

I remember having the Charade bootleg back in the late 80's and then LOSING IT (AAUUUGHH!!) during a move. I was so pissed off. I haven't heard that song in over a decade.
I still remember it as clear as a bell, though. I would love to hear a clean version, too. |

And of course, string would not hold up the average adult male. I know Imma gonna need some rope. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

One of the very few out-takes from the 'golden era' that never did much for me. | |

Then why are prisoners restricted from having shoe strings in their shoes...because they can hang themselves with it! I'm sure he didn't mean the type of string you use to sew up a hole or hole in a sock or something.  | |
