careful with the pictures! the royal jackass will hit u with a take down notice. there was a time when i thought he would b 1 of the pioneers bringing music 2 the internet masses. boy was i wrong.

The soundtrack might have been good for it's time, but the movie blows. fwiw the production on his new album also blows. i bought it, but i can't stand 2 listen 2 it.

call me 4mer prince fan.

I'm one of the biggest Prince fans around -- and while I think that Purple Rain is one of the best albums ever, I actually disagree that it's the greatest soundtrack (go figure).

There are so many other classics in this genre, competition is fierce.

Is it really difficult for you to write complete English words and not crap like "4mer", "b 1"?

Lighten up man! (As any fan knows) one of Prince's many quirks, which he started using consistently b4 anyone else i believe, is daft letter/number substitutions in song titles and lyrics.

Ah, right, I totally missed that. Sorry!
