Bill just played Sinead O'Connor doing Prince's song 'Nothing Compares 2 U' Reminded me of a story I heard/read long ago Prince was a tad upset when O'Connor did his song He invited her over to his place when she was in town He unloaded a verbal berating and destroyed just about everything in the room to get the message across that he didn't ever want her to do any more of his songs As long as he didn't lay finger on her I'm okay with it because Princce was always overly dramatic drama is a fullfilling drug O'Connor is tough, I'l bet she took care of herself
I'd forgotten about this... I lived in California at the time or I would have gone over the hill to witness it...
A crowd gathers outside the Centennial Theater in Sheridan for the 1986 premiere of the Prince film “Under the Cherry Moon.” The town was selected to host the premiere in an MTV contest.

I remember the hype surrounding the movie Purple Rain...my friends and I could hardly wait and had a plan to go on opening night. Everyone showed up decked in purple...and ended up standing and dancing to most of the songs. What charisma. I remember listening to some of his songs on alternative college radio before he hit the Top 40 big time.
When you were mine I gave you all of my money Time after time You done me wrong It was just like a dream You let all my friends come over and meet And you were so strange You didn't have the decency to change the sheets
Oh girl, when you were mine I used to let you wear all my clothes You were so fine (so fine) Maybe that's the reason that it hurt me so
I know (I know) That you're going with another guy I don't care (don't care) 'Cause I love you, baby, that's no lie I love you more than I did when you were mine
When you were mine You were kinda, sorta my best friend So I was blind (so blind) I let you fool around I never cared (didn't care) I never was the kind to make a fuss When he was there Sleeping in between the two of us
I know (I know) That you're going with another guy I don't care (don't care) 'Cause I love you, baby, that's no lie I love you more than I did when you were mine
When you were mine you were all I ever wanted to do Now I spend my time Following him whenever he's with you
I know (I know) That you're going with another guy I don't care (don't care) 'Cause I love you, baby, that's no lie I love you more than I did when you were mine
When you were mine, yeah, oh no Love you, baby, love you, baby When you were mine
All the radio stations here have been playing him off and on all day. I just danced my heart out to "Let's Go Crazy" and turned it up to 11. I'm sure my neighbors understood.
