That's a pretty good theory.

Prince is a genius though - he gets a free pass from me on his fashion decisions.

That's on the Valley Girl soundtrack, featuring a young, pre-breakdown Nicholas Cage.

[Alas Babylon!]

Of course! Don't get me wrong. I really like Prince. In the late 70’s/early 80’s, his music transcended so many genres. Hell, I even liked Sheila E. and the rest of the Minnesota Sound.

But if there's one thing I heard back then, it was that Prince was gay.

For some reason, I had a flash of ‘Faulty Towers’ ;...”whatever you do, don’t mention the War!”.

[Iron Munro]

That's on the Valley Girl soundtrack

Thanks - I wasn't aware of that.

[AppyPappy]

The line referred to Boy George.

Funny thing is, I usually skip that song when playing Brothers in Arms, it’s the weakest song on the entire album.

They would like this even less: Warning Adult Language and Content.

Meat Loaf, Cheryl Crow, also did it, the original group was the best.

[Iron Munro]

Thanks but no thanks - I can tell by the url.

[ConservativeStatement]

I hope you don’t do the same with “Ice Ice baby.” :-)

Yo so I continued to A1A Beachfront Avenue

The Song “Black Betty” popularized by Leadbelly in a blues song is actually a British marching song - an ode to their firearm - a rifle they called “Black Betty” forged in Birmingham England.

She's always ready. She keeps me steady.

Whiny do-nothing rich c-words bitch about how they are underappreciated by people who work for a living. Ruling remains that the song still sucks.
