Strangely, just this Saturday I read "pop life," a
biography of prince by some British journalist, that
came out right after LOVESEXY did. And in it, he
quotes Prince as saying he had actually written most
of this before the whole Purple Rain furor hit (though
I know he was already building his freakshow fanbase,
what with Little Red Corvette and all) and that might
be why he hadn't actually done a Purple Rain II...who
knew folks'd want another one?
On the other hand, he does seem to delight in tweaking
folks by switching horses midstream, as it were; and
having revisited the movie "purple rain" for the first
time since i was a teen, I can't help but think that
he might have believed he was going to take over the
world w/"purple rain", as it is as big a testament to
monumental ego as i have ever seen. Still a goofy
delight, though, not the least of which reason is the
vast array of horrid, horrid clothing (1983 - where
have all the shiny bustiers gone? Never mind: I don't
want to know.)
