Did Sananda free TTD the way the symbol freed Prince? Upon listening to Sananda's brilliant Wildcard Joker's Edition CD, while subsequently reading the lyrics I started to get the feel that some of the songs have double meanings. If you pay attention to the lyrics of Goodbye Diane and SRR-636, the content of both songs seems to be a jab at a former record company under the guise of a relationship gone sour. The cryptic meanings are eerily similar to Prince's metaphorical jab Dinner With Delores and countless other songs recorded about his feud with Warner Bros. If you dissect SRR-636 it seems as though Sananda is stating how the record company wanted him to become more mainstream like the various artists he mentions in the song, however he prefers to stay true to his musical vision, revisit the old, experiment, and expand his musical horizons along with his listeners. While Goodbye Diane seems like the reasoning behind leaving the major label system altogether and/or his reasoning for breaking with Glen Ballards label. Considering that Sananda was finally freed from his Sony contract a few years ago, I think it may be safe to assume that the name change may have been the vehicle to do so. All of the above is pure speculation on my part however the parallel nature of Sananda's current position and Prince's battle with Warners is strangely familiar. | |

DorothyParkerWasCool asked: Did Sananda free TTD the way the symbol freed Prince? No, Sananda Maitreya is still a lot less ridiculous as a name than  ."How embarrasing to be human!"

As much as I think that the songs you mentioned might express some feelings he has towards the record industry his name change is a spiritual re-incarnation and not a business move as it was for Prince and therefore can't be compared to Prince's name change IMO With a very special thank you to Tina: Is hammer already absolute, how much some people verändern...ICH hope is never so I will be! And if, then I hope that I would then have wen in my environment who joins me in the A.... | |

Hell yeah.youre so right on with this."Goodbye Diane' is definitly TTDs "dinner with delores".Check out tthe line that says"once upon a time i heard some pretty ugly lies,said against my brother,twas a shame it was our mother".i have a strong feeling he was talking about Prince.  "a man without enemies is a man without movement." | |
