I went to a used record store to look for audio cassettes to mess with since that's a thing I'm doing now, and I accidentally found where the image for the "It's Always Morally Correct" meme came from.

I believe this song was the best off the 94EAST productions (followed by LOVINCUP which I.always confuse in my head for HerbiHancocks MAKINLOVEINTHERAIN). Lyrics. groove.late 70early80's futuristicplayarollerskate vibe this is my earlymornig Saturday ISH. I was so hoping Uncle P would had done more with it commercially ; like Push the vocals more to the front for 1 & or just put the whole song on a solo album & do it himself. ( I like to think of This as a treasure track)

Release: February 5, 1990

Lyrics:

Once is never enough

Never is never was

Here and now is all that counts

Here and now in large amounts

Be beautiful but shut up

The going can be real tough

You can keep your fancy bars

Clubby friends and fast cars

And when the going gets hard

You can eat your credit cards

I really tried to fight it

But what the hell I like it

There is always room at the top

Don't let them tell you there is not

Made in England born and bred

An eighteenth century brain

In a twenty-first century head

Room at the top - so eighteenth century

Room at the top - so eighteenth century

Room at the top

There's always room

Songwriter:

If some of this fits you

Or like the things that you might do

It's the pleasure and the pain

That makes us do it all again

They say

Be beautiful and shut up

The going can be real tough

Prince was 19 years old.

It is called Loring Park Sessions ’77, a series of free recording sessions in the studio of Loring Park (Minneapolis) owned by Owen Husney, Prince’s first manager. Eight tracks, all instrumental and untitled, realized with the participation of bassist Andre’ Cymone and drummer Bobby Z, who will soon become members of Prince’s first band.

Being familiar with BrownMark I immediately requested the ARC of My Life in the Purple Kingdom from NetGalley. I received this copy in exchange for an honest review with no promise of writing a positive one.

This is the story of another person from Prince's bizarre court. Mark Brown was a young naive musician who became enthralled with an individual he viewed as a musical genius. Once he discovered his love for the guitar it compelled him to not only master the instrument but to pursue a career in a city where venues were primarily segregated.

After being taking through a strange audition Mark replaced Andre' Cymone as the bass guitarist in Prince's band. He is then renamed BrownMark and subjected to physical, financial, and psychogical abuse by a man that he still considers a brother.

It's amazing to me that there is another account in the world detailing the bizarre behavior of someone who was clearly an insecure narcissist who only cared about making money. I really loved the details about Mark's childhood and family life. I admire his ability to forgive Prince for his irreprehensible behavior. Mostly I am impressed at the fact that he learned from his mistakes and went on to establish a career in spite of being cast into the shadows.

Prince's high school report.

FACT:

(Living with his closest friend and bandmate Andre Cymone and his mother Bernadette Anderson Cymone's house after being kicked out of his father's place for bringing a girl in house, after living with his aunt unfortunately she couldn't handle Prince playing instruments for long hours, after living with other relatives around every area, etc.)

Prince claimed that "She would let me do anything I wanted to” as long as he finished school. Graustark gamely asked how much one can do in a basement; “Well, it depends on how many people are there,” came the deliberately eyebrow-raising reply. He then went on to vaguely describe a scenario where Bernadette “came down and saw a lot of us down there, and we weren’t all dressed, and stuff like that. It kind of tripped her out, and we got into a semi-argument, and whatever, but it was… you know…” (Graustark 117). In her introduction to the interview, Graustark added fuel to the fire, referring to Prince’s “sexual excesses in a dank, dark Minneapolis basement with his confidant and companion André Cymone and a host of neighborhood girls” (110).

"Did you really hitchhike to this meeting place?” I ask in an attempt to find out exactly how he got to his destination without accepting a ride from a friend and without driving a car.

"Yeah. It only took 45 minutes. That was fast. What’s wrong with hitchhiking anyway? You must come from a rich family. I didn’t. I ran away when I was twelve. I went to my father’s house since he wasn’t living with us at the time. Then I ran away from him a year later. Guess how many times I’ve change addresses. Twenty-two times!” he exclaims proudly

Right On! 1979 Interview With Cynthia Horner.

My face colored with embarrassment as I realized what a fuss I had made over his hitchhiking earlier. My concern for his well-being and safety had fallen on deaf ears. “Well, if you’ve done all that, you must have laughed when I was worried about your hitchhiking.”

"Not out loud, I didn’t. I was respectful. Don’t worry: it’s not my time to die.”

"When did you decide to stop running away and stay put?"

"I haven’t yet. I told you I’ve moved three times since last year. It makes me feel older when I run away, like I’m achieving something.”
