I like Prince, but that's just going too far, man. It's too much. I'm sorry.

Craiglist wouldn't be the place to sell it. Given that the print run is 950, the best thing to do would be to hold onto it for a few years and send it to a rare book auction.

Really weird small press run books like this bring good cash. Check out Stephen King's My Pretty Pony for a good example.

Of course not, it's for making coffee. From tables. Duh.

I find Prince to be outrageously sexy. That is all.

in a time when i was spoon feed hard rock and metal from my older brother and some country and southern rock from my parents, i got on the coat tails of prince. in 1982 when 1999 came out i was 11 years old and cable made it to my neck of the woods. a time when mtv would show a concert each weekend(rush, ozzy, triumph to name a few). i still love prince to this day. he is a phenomenal artist. i also loved the batman soundtrack.

Oh yeah
In France a skinny man
Died of a big disease with a little name
By chance his girlfriend came across a needle
And soon she did the same
At home there are seventeen-year-old boys
And their idea of fun
Is being in a gang called The Disciples
High on crack, totin' a machine gun

Time, time

Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling of a church
And killed everyone inside
U turn on the telly and every other story
Is tellin' U somebody died
Sister killed her baby cuz she could afford 2 feed it
And we're sending people 2 the moon
In September my cousin tried reefer 4 the very first time
Now he's doing horse, it's June

Times, times

It's silly, no?
When a rocket ship explodes
And everybody still wants 2 fly
Some say a man ain't happy
Unless a man truly dies
Oh why
Time, time

Baby make a speech, Star Wars fly
Neighbors just shine it on
But if a night falls and a bomb falls
Will anybody see the dawn
Time, times

It's silly, no?
When a rocket blows
And everybody still wants 2 fly
Some say a man ain't happy, truly
Until a man truly dies
Oh why, oh why, Sign O the Times

Time, time

Sign O the Times mess with your mind
Hurry before it's 2 late
Let's fall in love, get married, have a baby
We'll call him Nate... if it's a boy

Time, time

Time, time

People used to look at me as though I had two heads when I tried to explain that Prince is one of the baddest mofos to ever don platform shoes outside of the 70's.

And then they all saw that Super Bowl halftime show.

Where is your God, now?

Whenever this guy makes fark the asinine tag comes out.
So much so, that by now I'm beginning to think it's his first name.
Asinine Prince. No wonder he wanted to be formerly named.

Funny, Powell's bookstore just sent me an email about that book.

FlashHarry: this is the most expensive coffee table book i've ever bought. worth every penny.

I forget where I saw it (friend's house or bookstore) but I just remember being completely and totally enthralled for about 75 minutes.
