Manhattan DA rejects GOP demand for info on Trump case
"The district attorney for Manhattan, New York has made clear. He will not be sharing documents surrounding the hush money investigation into Donald Trump with members of Congress. House Republicans had sought documents and testimony about the case. Calling the grand jury investigation into Donald Trump, quote, an unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority. In a letter obtained by The Associated Press, the general counsel for Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg slammed the congressional request as an unlawful incursion into New York's sovereignty, adding that Donald Trump's lawyers reportedly urged three House committee chairman to intervene after Trump created a false expectation. He was going to be arrested this week and says that is not a legitimate basis for a congressional inquiry. The 5 page response from Bragg's office marks a public acknowledgment, a grand jury is currently investigating Trump, although there appears to be a pause this week in his case. I'm Jackie Quinn

Biden approval dips near lowest point: AP-NORC poll
"A new poll finds president Joe Biden's approval rating dipping slightly. The new poll by The Associated Press and the norc center for public affairs research finds Biden's approval rating at 38% this month as the president and his administration confront two bank failures and inflation that remains stubbornly high. Biden's approval rating in February was 45% at in January 41%, just 31% approve of Biden's handling of the national economy about where it's been over the course of the last year. The difference between Biden's approval overall and his approval on the economy is driven largely by Democrats, 76% say they approve of how Biden is handling his job as president, while 63% approve of his handling of the economy few Republicans approve of Biden on either count.

What's Wrong With Gavin Newsom?
"Gavin Newsom is an absolute disaster when it comes to California. I was sitting there thinking, listen, Gavin Newsom is going to challenge Biden. He's going to be the guy most likely, you know, God forbid of Michelle Obama or somebody pops up on the scene, but I don't really foresee that leaving all of her income and all that kind of stuff behind. Is Gavin Newsom still looking towards The White House? It's really seems hard to fathom. Given how disastrous he is, but maybe people don't understand how disastrous this guy has been. I think they don't. And the press just completely plays along with it. And sadly, even our conservative press over the last month or so, I was basically screaming my head off about something happening here in California. We all know he took off to Mexico when we had these snowstorms about what God ignored was that there was this mountain community outside of Los Angeles, big bear Lake arrowhead area San Bernardino mountains, 21 days these people were snowed in under 12 feet of snow. They normally get maybe 6 feet in a winter. So they have some equipment, but not for 12 feet that fall within 7 days. And people were snowed in. Even when they got the main roads, plowed up there, but then within the communities they couldn't get around. I talked to people who were trying to do relief flights out there like helicopter flights of supplies because grocery stores roofs valid so they couldn't get the supplies from there. And the sheriff wouldn't let them land because it was a disaster zone and they weren't government helicopters, but the government wasn't doing anything. Why? Because San Bernardino county voted to study seceding from California and didn't forget it.

Is It Racism If It's Black People?
"All right, so again, I was talking about racism and racism is not a huge problem in America, Carl. Why are you talking about this stuff? Because it's so important for us to deal with all of this woke crap that is going on. In the United States and how the left is trying to usher in a lot of their Marxist ideas through using critical race theory by using trans people by using gay people by using diversity, equity, and inclusion. By using SEL, if you teach children like these children at this particular school that they are oppressed and that there are oppressors and that they should be so hyper focused on race, what do you expect them to become? They're gonna start behaving like victims and that's exactly what I hate to see. So when I see headlines like this, they do grab my attention. So again, here's a quote from Mark Harris. The Sacramento attorney and he's the district DEI inclusion monitor only in California. Only in California. Well, I take that back. Maybe in New York as well. All right, but it says here in and I'm quoting from him. I've been on an emotional roller coaster today. This is the third time we've had perpetrators of a racially motivated incident. Identified as African Americans. Question is it racism if it's black people? That's the question I'm throwing out there. It's pretty bad when our kids, for whatever reason, think that it would be popular for them to have a negative depiction of our own. Is it possible they have a negative depiction if indeed they do, is it possible they have a negative depiction of our own as you say mister Harris because they've been taught that we're pressed that we're victims by people on the left.

Don't Rely on the Boomerang Effect
"The more we think that there is some sort of a boomerang effect, the less we fight. I think that actually it is dangerous and deeply unhelpful. In fact, I think it is damaging to our movement to act as if things will automatically kind of come back in our direction. The crazier the new cycle is, the less likely a boomerang is possible. There's too many different stories, the cycle is too quick. Social media, viral videos. People that are scandalized one month just kind of come back onto the scene the next month. We're like, well, I guess they got through it. And so therefore it takes work. You might say, well, Charlie and what's going to take. It's actually going to take us less about thinking that the news cycle is going to determine and dictate political outcomes that we find to be favorable. And we have to do the work to build the infrastructure. Long-term infrastructure. And that's what the left has done. The digital age, especially with the mainstream press and this nonsense that they're peddling has the ability to kill the boomerang. Where was the boomerang against masking children? Our movement is more aware and awake, but we need a channel that information into action, I'll be honest, I used to believe in the promise of the inevitable boomerang. I'm like, oh, people aren't going to take this. They're going to reach a boiling point. And there's a little bit of that, but basically people vote on inflation, economy, maybe abortion, if you're an upper middle class woman, maybe the border is kind of abstract to most people, there is some boomerang on the trans stuff, but it took a ton of effort and it just doesn't happen. That's the point.

Army of lobbyists helped water down banking regulations
"Recent bank collapses that prompted a federal rescue are a reminder of the power still held by Washington lobbyists. It seemed like a good idea at the time, in 2018 Republicans working with president Trump to slash bank regulations joined forces with red state Democrats facing grim reelection prospects. The group passed a bill that rolled back portions of the 2010 Dodd Frank law. The bill was marketed as a form of relief for overburdened community banks, but it also lifted the threshold for strict oversight and mandatory stress testing of large mid sized banks, it is now being blamed for contributing to the collapse of Silicon Valley bank and signature bank whose executives lobbied for the Bill, the effort drew an army of more than a thousand lobbyists, companies and trade groups specifically mentioning the legislation spent more than $400 million in 2017 and 2018, according to an Associated Press analysis, Americans for financial reform, a watchdog group says we can draw a direct line between the deregulation driven by the bank lobby, and the chaos of the last few weeks.

Ignoring experts, China's sudden zero-COVID exit cost lives
"When China suddenly scrapped onerous zero COVID measures in December, the country wasn't ready for a massive onslaught of cases. The abrupt turn led to hospitals turning away ambulances, crematoriums burning bodies around the clock and relatives hauling dead loved ones to warehouses for lack of space, state media had claimed opening up was based on scientific analysis and shrewd calculation and was by no means impulsive, but in reality The Associated Press has found the ruling Communist Party ignored repeated efforts by top medical experts to kickstart exit plans until it was too late. The reopening coming suddenly at the onset of winter when the virus spreads most easily, many older people weren't vaccinated, farmers is like antivirals and hospitals didn't have adequate supplies or staff.

Bitcoins Operation Chokepoint With Doomberg
"Yeah, we put out a piece this morning called Don Jerome, where we compared the events of the past week to the epic final act of The Godfather where Michael Corleone takes care of all of the family business in one fell swoop and it felt like that, especially on Sunday, when we saw this almost matter of fact, oh, by the way, we shut down signature bank as a throwaway paragraph in a fed press release about the resolution of Silicon Valley back. And lest anyone had any doubt what this was all about, a headline just crossed as we started to hit record here that one of the conditions of buying signature from the FDIC will be that the buyer ceases all crypto activities. And so that was very clearly a shot across the bow against the crypto world, which is something we had predicted and warned about for many years, of course, not alone. Many people thought the same thing. But to see that play out so brutally and so coldly and black and white and the speed with which both of the major payment rails into the crypto universe were blown up, the analogy is sort of like what happened to the Nord stream two pipelines. You know, you wake up one day and they're blown to smithereens. And so it's been fascinating. Well, it's quite interesting because it's also happening over here in the UK at the same time. So I've just got up here. And that west limits cryptocurrency transfers over scam fears, I know that I got an email from Gemini saying they've moved banking partner and binance pulls theirs as well. So it's not only happening in the U.S., but it's starting to feel coordinated over here as well. I don't know if you've seen this

UBS to buy Credit Suisse for $3.2 billion to rein in turmoil
"A global financial disaster may have been averted with the news that banking giant UBS is buying Credit Suisse for $3.2 billion. With two U.S. banks failing and concerns over Credit Suisse on the verge. After its largest investor stepped away, the president of Switzerland announces an emergency deal for UBS to buy up its troubled rival. UBS CEO Tom Kelleher. We are committed to making this deal a great success. There are no options in this. This is absolutely essential to the financial structure of Switzerland. And at the risk of being somewhat global, I think, to global finance. In the U.S., members of Congress are looking for ways to shore up the banking industry. Senator Elizabeth Warren on NBC's meet the press. Says the guardrails put into place after the 2008 meltdown have been repeatedly weakened. She says bank executives took advantage of that.

Pro-Moscow voices tried to steer Ohio train disaster debate
"The U.S. government is alleged that Russia interfered with the last U.S. election by spreading false information on social media. Now it seems Russian voices are commenting on Ohio's toxic train derailment. A London based nonprofit called reset detected that some two weeks after the February train derailment in east palestin, Ohio, anonymous pro Russia and social media accounts started spreading misinformation. They used Elon Musk's new blue Czech verification system on Twitter. To expand their reach, creating the illusion of credibility. These accounts echoed Kremlin talking points, claiming authorities were lying about the impact of the chemical spill. And criticizing President Biden for offering food and water to Ukraine, but not to the people affected in Ohio. While some comments may have originated with Russian back groups, there were anti American posts from Americans. When The Associated Press reached out to some of these Twitter authors. One responded shut up, and then blocked their reporter. I'm Jackie Quinn

That's right, dude. How great was that? And also prince than the other day, which I hate to cheer for woke schools, but you are a big guy you guy, though, aren't you? Yeah, I grew up. Starting at age four, we had a 6th row seats behind the bench. When we moved to Bloomington. Wow. In the early 70s, bob knight had just taken the job at IU after having come from West Point. And he accumulated this group of four or 5 doctors who were all about night's age. And a weird little side story. So these are doctor surgeons, radiologists, anesthesiologists with full practice with full practices and night would demand that they attend the IU basketball practice every day. I kid you not. For two and a half hours. And yeah, anyway. So yeah, you know, I'm a believer in the hoosiers. All schools are woke, so I don't hold that against Princeton. And that was, that was a heck of a game yesterday, for instance. There was some awesome games. So we're going to get a lot of hate mail because our audience doesn't like it when we talk sports

Bob Frantz on the Epicenter of the Assault on Manhood
"So you described for us this fascinating voyage of yours after 9 11 that you kind of woke up to a new priority and then you did your own research, your own investigation of conservatives, peace through strength, the Reagan model. As such, you probably have an idea as to where the assault on masculinity on manhood comes from, where these ideas such as toxic masculinity come from. There are often options out here, so many things to choose from. The mainstream media, Hollywood, the schools, political parties, in your analysis, as you view this in the last couple of decades, where do you think the epicenter of this assault is? Where is the place where we're most of this is originating? Well, I think clearly it's the globalists. You know, it's coming from outside of this country, but with the willing assistance of those inside this country who want to see this country taken apart and who want to see it destroyed, who want to see a one world government. I'm not breaking any new ground here, especially if not for somebody like you when we talk about what it would take to destroy this country to defeat a two as what did Barack Obama call it fundamentally transform it. And as we all know, you don't fundamentally transform things, which means to change the things that you love. You want to keep the things that you love the way they are. Can you imagine trying to ask a woman to marry you and say, by the way, why don't we get married? I'm going to change you into something else that I like better. That's not going to work. You didn't love her in the first place. There are people in this country who don't love this country, who want to see a changed, who want to see it destroyed and rebuilt in a collectivist type of society, and they're working with global organizations. And I do truly believe that when you think about the Gates family foundation when you think about the World Economic Forum, when you think about the World Health Organization, all of the, you know, the usual suspects that are working to establish a one world government know that this doesn't work without the United States participation in the United States as long as we continue to remain the same civilization that we built or that we started from with again with that super strong building block of the family, we will continue to press on and we will continue to survive. We will continue to thrive.

Aaron Rodgers Emerges From the Darkness
"Who's been a top contender for Friday's finest for the last few weeks. Has been the mercurial quarterback of the Green Bay Packers. Aaron Rodgers. Now, deciding that he did not want to retire under the same year Tom Brady did, and he wanted to continue to play. He's following that great packer tradition of leaving the Green Bay Packers and going to New York. It looks like if things can get everything settled. I mean, is there ever, I mean, this is almost like the Howard Hughes of football. I mean, just this reclusive, I'm going to sit in the dark for two weeks and then come back out and talk.

Well, I loved the I don't know if I'm going to try to I think it's a direct one. He said, I came out of the darkness and something was a little bit off. Like, yeah. Okay. The real world, buddy. You know, I just, I feel like every fan of every other team in the NFC north wants to hold a press conference to thank God for getting Aaron Rodgers out of their division. But realistically, it's something that bothers me. I think this is, this goes for pretty much anything. This is not, we don't even have to keep this to just sports, but the idea that he knew that he knows that he has enough power to a if they want to get rid of him, he can take as much time as he wants. If he really wanted to stay and cause a stink and their organization, he could do that as well. But now he gets to make demands to the team that's looking to get him. Think about all the power that that one man has because he can throw a football 60 yards without blinking.

Trump Is Likely to Be Indicted Soon
"Trump is likely to be indicted soon. And we're going to have hopefully Citizen Kane from citizen free press on the program tomorrow. By the way, Susan free press does an amazing job. To talk about this. And I think we got a game it out. I think we no longer can be taken by surprise. There's a new article out today, which all basically all but says of Atlanta journal constitution that Trump is going to get indicted. That's basically what the article was saying, right? Now, look, the constitution sets restrictions on running. The United States Constitution. Constitutional experts have told ABC News that previous Supreme Court rulings hold that Congress can not add qualifications to the person running for president. A state can not bar a person from ballot access for running for federal office if they meet the constitutional requirements, so states technically can't set limits, but I've heard other legal minds and they could be just very well wrong. Say that if you are a convicted felon, you're not allowed to be on the ballot. But I just think that's based. I don't see the evidence of that. But that's an interesting question. But then why are they trying to so badly to indict Donald Trump? They think it's really going to help hurt him politically. When a Republican primary, I actually think it helps him if he gets indicted. I think that if he's indicted, it proves the point that the entire system is against me. Because I'm trying to do something that is for you and not for them.

Is Justice Being Applied Equally?
"One of the ways that we can gauge whether justice is being done is by looking to see if justice is being applied equally. And equally means that if you have two guys who do similar or roughly the same thing, they are charged and prosecuted in the same way and they receive sort of the same penalty or a similar penalty. Yesterday I went on Joe Walsh's podcast. In fact, it's out today. You can see it, you can hear it on Spotify or watch it on YouTube. It was actually a very lively and respectful conversation of a kind that really doesn't happen a whole lot today. But we were talking about January 6th and Joe was pressing me. Well, don't you agree the message was wrong for people to go inside the capitol and I go, yeah, it was. And I said that, look, there are people who committed misdemeanor as they went in there. They didn't mean to break the law, but they did break the law. They didn't do any vandalism. They were completely peaceful and they left shortly thereafter. Well, those people should get a misdemeanor, which basically means you get a warning or some community service, but you're not going to take a 75 year old grandmother. I'm giving you an actual case. In fact, I had Pamela hemphill on the show and lock them up for 60 days because they walked into the capitol for ten minutes. This is just downright outrageous. And you know it's outrageous because it doesn't happen to anyone else. If you look at the massive riots that emerged in Portland in the aftermath of George Floyd, we're now talking about from summer of 2020. Prosecutors dismissed a substantial number. I mean, they dismissed outright more than one third of the cases. Think about it. These are cases that have, in many cases, felony charges for defendants were charged with assaulting federal officers. They just dismissed the charges. They didn't even bring charges against them.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis Comments on the Russia-Ukraine War
"Here was desantis response in its entirety. He wrote, and again, this was in an essay form sort of by the the candidates. He said, quote, while the U.S. has many vital national interests, securing our borders addressing the crisis of readiness within our military, achieving energy security and independence and checking the economic cultural and military power of the Chinese Communist Party becoming further tangled in a territorial dispute between Ukraine and Russia is not one of them. The Biden administration's virtual blank check funding of this conflict for quote as long as it takes without any defined objectives or accountability distracts from our countries most pressing challenges without question peace should be the objective. The U.S. should not provide assistance that could require the deployment of American troops or enable Ukraine to engage in offensive operations beyond its borders. F-16s and long-range missiles should therefore be off the table. These moves would risk explicitly drawing the United States into the conflict and drawing us closer to a hot war between the world's two largest nuclear powers. That risk is unacceptable. A policy of, quote, regime change. In Russia, no doubt popular among the D.C. foreign policy interventionists would greatly increase the stakes of the conflict making the use of nuclear weapons more likely. Such a policy would neither stop the death and destruction of the war nor produce a pro American madisonian constitutionalist in the Kremlin. History indicates that Putin's successor in this hypothetical would likely be even more ruthless. The cost to achieve such a dubious outcome could become astronomical. The Biden administration's policies have driven Russia into a de facto alliance with China

"By nineteen eighty seven. Prince's spirituality was no longer lurking in a metaphorical shadows or hidden in lyrical double meanings. No better example of this. Moreover approach to examining religion and spirituality can be found in the cross sign of the times album. Joining me on this episode for the crosses erica thompson. Welcome back to the show. Erica it's great to be back. It has been a bit since you were on the show. You join me for temptation on the around the world in a day album and now you're back to talk across with me So the cross it is it is kind of a more. I would say. Moreover approach to spirituality than prince's really ever done before maybe with the exception of god or like maybe for the tears in your eyes what do you think about that statement erica. Yeah i mean. Of course prince has always been talking about god in one form or another since the beginning of his career. But i i really look at this as like you said a more overt approach to talking about jesus and it's really interesting how he talked about jesus up to this point so yeah like you mentioned you would get something like for the tears in your eyes. But it wasn't on one of his his albums bright. And then also you have some unreleased tracks like asong crystal ball was on unreleased at this time and jesus's mentioned on that you also have walk in glory but again was unreleased until very recently But then you you would have a song. I would die for you which is on his album purple rain but there are so many different ways that you could interpret that so again. It's not really that blatant or he might I'm just thinking of darling nikki. The lord is coming soon. But that's you know refers harder exactly. So i i really do see the cross as his first straightforward cohesive statement about jesus again. It's still very symbolic i mean. He's saying the cross and not jesus though he would later. Change it to the christ But this is definitely a step up for sure. Yeah and i do want to get to that change that. He made later in the episode. Because i think it's pretty important kind of footnote. I mean in one thousand nine hundred seven sign of the times. The album version is the cross. But it's hard to talk about the song without mentioning how he kind of flipped it. And based off of his witness religious beliefs. You know the the their belief system in why the cross isn't kind of a doesn't have the same or doesn't really have any symbolic meaning in you know in their understanding of the bible and the religion in in how jesus died so that's why he changed it and i don't want to get ahead of ourselves here but yeah i definitely want to talk a little bit about that later..

"On even when he went back to it in eighty five that was when he was working on under the cherry moon so it it's interesting that this song kind of came back you know when he was working on another movie There's a i always always reminds me of. There's a song by elton john. I've seen that movie too. Which basically is it takes those two lines and makes a whole song out of it. It's the same kind of thing about like you know feeling trapped in this relationship where you feel like you're watching it on screen you know. The pattern is so predictable than it feels like. You're watching actors acted out. I think that prince you know. I think it's probably a a common feeling that i don't necessarily think prince was given an odd elton john. It's interesting to me. Always reminds me of that song that line in particular really kind of hits close to home for me because i i've definitely been in. I been in relationships where it feels like the arguments almost become scripted. Thank you you feel like. You're you're watching yourself on stage or something. So it's that i. it feels relatable. I think in a way that maybe some of the other lyrics don't or i or i would prefer them not to be. Yeah i can. I can understand that. I think even as somebody who's married and you end up having a lot of the same fights right it does feel scripted. I can. I can relate to that for sure in the third line. I'll take the blame crate. I'm sorry okay cool but didn't like the way you are so i had to make you mine again. He's like yeah. He's taking the blame. Obviously because in the song who else will get the blame based off of what. He's writing and apologizing for the second time in the song but just not really sincerity. Just doesn't doesn't feel real here in this. Yeah i never thought about it in this terms but like you said i mean he says he literally says i'm sorry twice in the song and i do not think of this as an apologetic song. You know like It's because he because he always says i'm sorry in the second to line and then he turns around and sticks the night been deeper..

"I'll be discussing the lyrics sign of the times. Strange relationship with zachary hoskins. Welcome back to the show zak. Yeah thanks for having me. It's been a while. Yes that's my hundred episode I just fi- when mentioned that. Because i i mean i in my mind. I knew that i was going to get here. I didn't think i was gonna fizzle out before. I right at one hundred but at the same time i need at least pat myself on the back. A little bit for gig through one hundred episodes of show talking about prince lyrics. Oh yeah for a milestone. Yeah congratulations yeah took me. Let's see about two and a half years. I've been at it for a little while now. Yeah but Yeah stranger relationships the topic of the day. This is the song we're going to be talking about As i mentioned sign of the times album song wasn't released as a single but it is a a a well known song in prince's discography and history if you if you like had the cd configuration. It's the third track on the second disc. If you have the vinyl double lp it's going to be the third song on side three and it's another camille song so it's basically a third and three straight camille songs that you get offside three of sign of the times even though you got the look was never intended for the camille album but princess. The voice again and the song has kind of an interesting history. it dates back as far as nineteen eighty-three at least as far as we know and There may be people that knew about that or had some sort of calls bootleg of strange relationship to kind of give them that information but for those. Who didn't we kind of figured that out. Once we saw that there was a a version of strange relationship on the piano acre phone. Nineteen eighty-three release posthumous. Release that the state put out in two thousand eighteen right so very obviously prince had written the song at least by the time he recorded that even though that version that he played on piano for that release wasn't the full version. I mean he was like skipping around lyrics and ad-lib and stuff so who knows. I mean he even if he did have a completely written all the lyrics written by the time you record piano microphone. It probably wasn't like the intention to do a a full-fledged authentic recording of the song from beginning to end he was just kind of you know playing around on the piano which is what the whole release essentially as anyway. Yeah i really the. I know that there's an early version of this floating rot or i. I don't know that but it seems very likely that there's an early version of floating around. Because i remember reading in dwayne to dolls purple rain book. That prince made a tape of this. And i think wonderful ass the first version of wonderful for vanity in early nineteen eighty-three so i've been really interesting for one thing that he he he put this song on a date for vanity That's number one and number two like at least vanity had a copy of that early version. So i'm really hoping that it surfaces one of these days whether it's like a another prince another purple rain deluxe or i mean honestly it can. It can leak through illicit channels. For all i care i just wanted. Yeah same here. And so for the sign of the times super deluxe edition that came out last year and twenty twenty. We didn't get there but right get we did get another version. Which was the one i guess. Recorded in eighty five with a lot of Wendy and lisa input..

"I wanted to call it on if i like it or not. It doesn't really matter but the line we don't have to make children to make love and we'd have to make love to have an orgasm. I can't here. We don't have to make children big love without thinking of roddick city. Ohio if we cannot make babies maybe we can make some time. So i kind of. It's a little bit like that like. Hey you know what we don't have to have sex to reproduce. We could just do it for fun. So let's let's do it. Don't worry about the repercussions of rearing. And then of course you to make love to have an orgasm is is kind of a lead in line to the lines later about him really wanting to perform oral sex on her and then so he's kind of thinking to himself or expressing here like i can please you. We don't even have to like have traditional penetrate a sacks we can we can have you can have an orgasm ran. we don't even have to have sex. That could produce a child like we. Don't we don't have to do that. I can make you feel good a lot of ways. Let me show you. And that's what he's trying to say here with the next few lines your body's what i'm all about another common prince trope is His desire to please his his lovers his girlfriends partners and really focusing and honing in on that and he does that very strongly indus and again. It's like it's all about you. And if i was on the receiving end of these lines. I'd like whoa. Whoa whoa whoa. Slow your roll buddy. This is this is a lot will get you excited. I wanna please me. I get that but Let me let me take in a few of these things. I and let me tell you how how i feel about it and makes me wonder. Is he withholding this until he gets the sort of relationship that he believes he wants. State now you know. maybe you know. I'm only going to do this if i get what i want from the relationship like you know. Yeah maybe if you do those things. Those other things will be more available to you. Yeah yeah it's really all about him wanting her to be comfortable right but he's not really giving her the time to become comfortable yes oh he wants to get really intimate with her like talks about it in pretty graphic detail later so yeah that that requires some comfort and he just wants to go from zero to ten in the at least in the section in within minutes or seconds not really spending the time to allow her to get on his level of comfort. Right he's there. He expects her to be there as well and and he's hoping that if he was if he was her girlfriend she would be already there. She would already be at ten with him kind of like. What i'm getting out of this in line listened for you. I would dance ballet very poetic and it's very interesting visual. Yeah well and i think guys sioux city novas She studied ballet when she was young. So this is a reference specifically to her about how that's something he knows. She has an interest in because again. It's all about her. Write these lines saw about her..

"And i have to find this this you know this longer version. I even went up and like ash that. Ej showed me another gal. Keiko so i had no luck finding though any record stores or anything like that so but you know knowing it was out there radio. Obviously you know didn't really play the longer extended versions of songs a lot of time. So that was you know one one big takeaway in one you know during memory beyond even the video that always gonna stick out in my mind with this with song cool. Yeah long looks great. That's a it's a. It's my actually my preferred version of the song So i'm glad we now. I mean i had it on the twelve inch vinyl version but that was bad you know years years after the fact not in nineteen eighty seven so too but again in nineteen eighty seven. I could not find it again. You know and i would go to know sam goody or or whatever you know the the big record store chains at the time and they look at me like i had twelve heads so we'll again have this album now. It's not that album. I know that l. i. Okay fine things. Useless record store clerk thank you. Things were in quite as easy to find back then like couldn't just go on discography or ebay internet. I couldn't just google it and you'll have somebody ship at the me. Two seconds i would find it on ebay or whatever and you know the. That's not you know that didn't exist in nineteen eighty seven. Unfortunately but yeah so there you go. Yeah and another ten general a little story. I guess is more about sheena easton i remember. This was a few years later when she put out the yes. It was like the early nineties when she put out the lover in me album and song. I i think that was the. I know that was the the the the single. I'm pretty sure that was the album to My my father actually got to see her. Like live And my father wasn't like you know he was very in canada. Wants to almost not quite the the reagan republican kind of thing but he was very much of that ilk and hearing him talk about how awesome she was and they way with some day she played some corporate thing. And you know he did that that he wanted to go was just like they had some corporate events and I remember him talking about her glowing terms and you know how sexy she was. Essentially 'cause she was really special for them. Seemed to be kind of really know upping that antea bid. And you know kind of sexing up a bit If i don't know if you remember the song or the video but it's pretty You know it's definitely got that vibe takes and my father just sit there and say talk in glowing terms about sheena easton and how you know how gorgeous she was and blah blah blah and even had like that. I don't know if they just gave it to them for free but gave him the cassette now and you know he was. Even i was like dad. You know she has a great voice did you. Did she sing any of our other songs. Dino dushi he's like he's like i was just watching her thank. Okay dad yeah. so what. Are you doing these corporate retreats you scoreboard. What's going on. Where were you going with us. And just hearing that from him and talking about her in those terms and not just kind of drove home. Obviously a lot of what's going on you know at least starting with her collaboration with cranston sugar walls..

"The look was recorded to find out if the friend would dance to a similar grew. Were just chill. Because it wasn't a hit sure enough didn't like the song until ended up in the top ten so I think a little pretty much. Solidifies that whole. I wonder who the friend was. But he doesn't he doesn't say does make you wonder though does so he basically recorded it to make us mash it up at any parallels that you hear too addicted to love our intentional. Aren't you know that was another song. I mean that was you know everywhere. I mean it was you. Couldn't you couldn't turn on the radio or the tv without seeing something of that. It's you know for a couple of months. There was one of those type songs where again it was. Yeah it was just everywhere so certainly was and then how originally. It was also intended just to be a print song. He didn't write it with schinas vocals or given anybody else's vocals in mind it was originally written to just be a solo prince song but i guess He ran into sheena because of course the two he had written her a big hit back in eighteen. Eighty four with sugar walls so obviously they knew each other and They met at sunset sound studios in california. And he just like. Hey you wanna come over here and record some backup vocals or you know. Some co vogel's so she agreed and the rest is history. I guess the rest is history. Wasn't wasn't intentional. Just kind of happened. Sometimes you know those. Those happy accidents are the are the best. They're workout to your to your great advantage in this definitely In this case. I think yes. She definitely brought a lot to the song. I mean i don't think about to say it wouldn't have been a hit with without her but i think it definitely helped in a lot of ways so yeah yeah agreed agreed especially since a lot of the lyrics kind of speak to like a push pull dynamic Woman over it exactly so it it really. It really makes sense to have Another vocal on it. A woman vocal and of course that kind of really sparked the the collaboration that princeton sheena would have for the next few years with him writing songs for future album of hers and cooking the the song one which is a great song and then i of course the.

"End result was that you know this while we got was the movie instead of a concert tour which you know. It's a nice compromise. I guess because the movie is something unique that princeton do a lot of in his career to make concert films like this. So i'm glad i'm glad he did. It glad he decided to do something for his. Us fans the time sure. Yeah i mean you know. The movie has definitely grown on me. I remember you know as a kid watching a teenager and when it came out. I'm liking it. Because i like the album but it didn't you know like i just didn't seem to kinda gel. I guess in a lot of ways but now like washing it as an adult. I i do enjoy a bit more in. It's you know and you don't really speaking to the song specifically you. Don't get to see people driving down the road with a chandelier over there car all that often. So that's not always the site. I'm sure i'm sure the people in paris were like you know when they saw that they knew what had what's going here. Who does that. And you want the answers. Prince apparently answer is prince so the song is also notable i think for prince utilizing d- his camille persona Which is intriguing to me. Because the song was not the intended for the camille project that he had planned for nineteen eighty six so he recorded I think like eight songs and he had the the album pressed and ready to go. And then there was a last minute decision to to pull that project And so he had this alter ego this camille alter ego and of course he had his sped up pitched up vocals kind of were the through line for all the songs and that was already kind of come and went came and went before prince recorded. You got the look. In december of nineteen eighty. Six was technically the last song recorded for the album. Sign of the times in you know and and part of me always kind of wondered. Why why did he even record the song he had that he had. That's triple crystal ball set to pull songs off of two pair. It down to create the times. I mean he was told by his record label. You're not releasing this three album set. You got a got a pair it down so we had obviously more than enough songs to make a double album without having to record anything new but he felt compelled to get back in the studio and knock out one more one more song to put on the final configuration side of the times in that ended up being. You got the look. This is the only song that ended up on the album..

You're my hero. You're my future when i'm with you. I have no past like the when i'm with you. I have no past is a big one too because like that's what it is. It's you know when you're when you're born again or when you reclaim when you claim god is that's your one and like you devote your life to god then at that point. Nothing you've done up to that point matters you've been forgiven for all your wrong-doings and now your life is devoted to god you know so like a lotta that really and honestly the i'd rather walk walk.
