Prince: Love Symbol
built 125 days ago
In 1990, Prince released the film Graffiti Bridge, a sequel to Purple Rain that performed poorly at the box office. The soundtrack to "Graffiti Bridge" featured Prince along with artists such as Tevin Campbell, Mavis Staples of the Staple Singers, and Morris Day with his other band and project, The Time. It would peak at #6 in the US and reach #1 in the UK. He ... collaborated with Madonna on her Like a Prayer album for the song entitled "Love Song".

All you throwing out your old Prince stuff -- don't. He's got your money, and throwing that stuff out won't hurt him. It's a feel-good symbol, sure. But hit him where he feels it. Sell all of your old Prince stuff, from vinyl to CDs to posters, as used. That way, when people who actually want to listen to the braying ass spend money, he doesn't get it.

The 1988 album Lovesexy is considered Prince's "spiritual" answer to the "dark" The Black Album. Lovesexy performed disappointingly on the US charts, reaching only #11 on the Billboard 200, but it reached #1 in the UK. (One track from The Black Album, "When 2 R in Love," ... appeared on Lovesexy.) The US leg of the Lovesexy World Tour also proved to be commercial disappointment: Prince lost money as dates failed to sell out. He did balance this poor performance with the European and Japanese legs of the tour.
