Prince did write Manic Monday, but none of the rest of that is true to my knowledge. He had already been familiar with the Bangles first album, and had written the song a few years prior for Appolonia 6. Prince contacted them when they were working on their next album and Manic Monday came up.


I heard the story told by a friend of Prince's on Fox News earlier. I do realize these Hollywood stories get embellished over the years so I wouldn't be shocked if it's bullshite.

I remember going to see him in the Superdome---it was in the middle of an ice storm. I think it was 1984

They found Prince in an elevator. I don't think you die of the flu in an elevator.

Nancy Grace coverage is a fricking disaster. Why she feels she needs to go right to the macabre wanting 911 tapes, who was there, who this who that...

I can only imagine the shock & mind blowage of an entire generation tuning in to MTV right now & watching actual music videos.

THE WAY THAT IT WAS ALWAYS SUPPOSED TO BE!!!

Fresh Prince just came on. You can tell MTV doesn't play videos often.

I'm loving the videos. Seeing ones to songs I totally forgot about(ex: Thieves in the Temple).


I'm used to the old way MTV showed what video it was though(the white text at bottom left or right of the screen).




The large text at the beginning is throwing me off. Anyone else feel that way as well.

Kanye and Gaga that are chasing these guy


Unlike Kanye, Gaga too has real talent.

YouTube her stuff before she was "Lady Gaga".

She is a classicly-trained pianist. Her talent is unreal.

She all but admitted years ago she had to "dumb down" her music for the stupid American populace in order to become popular.

Several of her pop "hits" were written a completely different way originally, taken to the studio, dumbed down for the modern idiocracy, and became hits.

Gaga is an amazing talent, but again, nothing on the level of Prince.
