I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Saw that in a theater earlier this year. It's... odd. Basically an oral history as told by fans, some famous, some not. The band doesn't appear in the film, nor does any of their music. It was well put together, but I couldn't help thinking that it would have worked just as well as a book.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Quick survey: if you were to choose one song to represent Prince's 80s oeuvre, which one would you pick?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
My first thought was Purple Rain, but I think When Doves cry might be my real answer.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I'm trying to think of something everyone would recognize and that unites party/sexual Prince and spiritual/serious Prince. "Let's Go Crazy," probably. (Although "1999" works, too.)

I'm tending towards "Let's Go Crazy" too. "When Doves Cry" would be my other choice.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
"When Doves Cry" or "Kiss."

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen
I think "When Doves Cry."

Not apocalyptic enough.
