Pretty funny story about Prince:
Prince doesn’t like the funny painted men with rubber noses and big feet, so word is he wouldn’t play on the Superdome stage last month unless Ronald McDonald hit the road first. What Prince wants, Prince gets. [read the rest}
On a related note, big up to EJ (the DJ) for hooking a brotha up with a ticket to the Prince show on Monday. Look for his concert recap any day now. (I assume it’s coming because he was taking copious notes during the show.) This must have been my lucky week because I also came up on an opportunity to go to Tuesday’s show. I didn’t want to be greedy though, and deferred to somebody else.
It was a great show as always by Prince. My only beef had to do with his Puritanical versions of old songs. He jacked D.M.S.R. all up by changing lines like ‘work your body like a whore’. WTF? He may as well not even sang the damn song if he was gonna butcher it like that.
Isn’t he a Jehovah’s Witness now? My guess is you can’t sing as bluntly about Darling Nikki if you’re spending your spare time knocking on folks’ door with copies of the Watchtower, you know?
Yeah, his religious beliefs are what’s caused him to go rated PG. So why even sing DMSR? 🙂
yeah i always roll my as on those “work it like you want some more” type edits..
That’s why I was shocked when he did “Bambi” in its entirety at the MSG show I caught.
Figures EJ would be note-taking at the concert. I knew I wasn’t the only one!
If you want the dirty version, listen to the CD… 🙂
clowns were created to mock African ( Black) people. Look it up. For people who understand this, it can be very offensive.
