It came about when one of Tipper's daughter brought THIS album home one fateful afternoon. After listening to the fifth track (Darling Nikki), Tipper became outrage:  YES,INDEEDY, I remember it WELL!!! Tipper took it to Capitol Hill because it shocked the heck out of her when she heard Princey-Poo sing an ode to a loose woman masterbating in a hotel lobbly with a magazine  . Essentially, she and her kid bought the album because of "Take Me With You", but when she heard the the more sexually explicit fare on Darling Nikki she led the cause for warning stickers on albums, so parents would know BEFOREHAND what they were purchasing for their kids  | |

I'm mad at you now, BK  !!!!!

And neither does Dirty Mind, Controversy, or 1999. | |

That is SO typical that we would get ourselves in a tizzy about one particular song without delving into an artist's entire work! I will admit though, that I had my P.R. album before the whole political hoopla, and then later I got a cd that had the P.A. sticker...I didn't know that the earlier works weren't considered for stickering, though...that was some of his DIRTIEST STUFF ...and to be honest, when were little, my sister and I used to SNEAK and play ALL of those albums (that were purchased for us LOOONG BEFORE the P.A. Sticker Movement) only when our parents weren't around, because deep down we KNEW they would beat the shit out of us for blasting songs like JACK U OFF for the entire neighborhood to hear and adding insult to injury, when we would make little mixtapes on the family stereo, we were SOOOOO slick; we would only put Prince songs like "Still Waiting" or "Got A Broken Heart Again" on cassettes for the car , so our parents didn't know we were listening to "Bambi", "Jack You Off" and "Do Me Baby"....OH MY GOD; WE WERE SUCH BAD ASSED KIDS !!!
...Oddly enough, I am highly in favor of the Parental Advisory stickers available for parents on cd's today, believe it or not  ! | |

...snaps finger and rolls neck "Don't you say nuthin' bad about Ohfra, fool!"
It was just a joke. I have no issues with Oprah. And contrary to popular belief, not all men are intimidated by successful women. | |
