Bob George - Why? Spooky Electric Must Die.

“Camille set out to silence his critics. No longer daring - his enemies laughed. No longer glam, his funk is half-assed... 

Tuesday came. Blue Tuesday. His canvas full, and lying on the table, Camille mustered all the hate that he was able. Hate 4 the ones who ever doubted his game. Hate 4 the ones who ever doubted his name.

Tis nobody funkier -- let the Black Album fly. Spooky Electric was talking, Camille started 2 cry. Tricked.

A fool he had been. In the lowest utmostest. He had allowed the dark side of him 2 create something evil. 

2 Nigs United 4 West Compton. Camille and his ego. Bob George. Why? Spooky Electric must die.”

.....some years later stories started to emerge about Tuesday December 1st, 1987 and the preceding evening when Prince went to the club Rupert’s. He asked the DJ to play the new album and observed the responses of the people in the club.

The same night he met Ingrid Chavez. She is a poet, singer, songwriter and nowadays wife of singer David Sylvian. The two went to Paisley Park and had an intense conversation. Apparently Prince already had some doubts about releasing the album. Somewhere that night he decided against it’s release. The decision appeared to be made after experiencing some heavy hallucinations when using the drug Ecstasy. In what he has called a vision the letter G O D were hovering over a field. It made him realise that it was his responsibility not to release this dark and negative album to kids. 

He also didn’t want this album to be his legacy in case he died after the release.....

" MILLIONS NOW LIVING MAY NEVER DIE "

"So let’s kiss our dark sides; let’s f**k our dark sides. 

Get him down there where he belongs. 

And he can tell us stuff. 

Y’know, that thing’s useful."

GET BEHIND ME, SATAN

"I got 2 sides,

and they're both friends"

Prince,

My Name is Prince

Eye No

Rain is wet, and sugar is sweet

Clap your hands, and stomp your feet

Everybody, everybody knows

When love calls, U gotta go

(I Know) 
[repeated in the background]

([Listen, the soul of this song belongs 2 God])

Welcome 2 the Nu Power Generation

The reason my voice is so clear

Is there's no smack in my brain

Hundalasiliah

Ha na na-sha na na na na na na

I know there is a heaven, I know there is a hell

Listen 2 me people, I got a story to tell

I know there was confusion lightnin' all around me

That's when I called his name don't U know he found me

No! Is what Spooky Electric say, it's not OK

But I know love is the only way till my dying day

No - til my dying day I'll be OK

Cuz Lovesexy is the one til my day is done

Hundalasiliah

I know there is a devil because he talks so loud

He makes U do things that your friends do, hang out with the crowd

But my Lord he is so quiet when He calls your name

When U hear it your heart will thunder

U will want 2 hear it every day

No! (people) Is what Spooky Electric say (everbody say)

But don't U know that I know

Love is the only way, til my dying day

No - Til my dying day I'll be OK

Cuz Lovesexy is the 1 til my day is done

Hundalasiliah

Alright y'all, everybody in the house 

(serve it up, Frankie)

Here's what I want U 2 do:

Raise your hand up, straight in the air

Swing it 2 the right, savoir faire

Up on the 2, swing on the 4

Everybody on the dancefloor

Sha-ho, sha-ho, sha-ho, sha-ho

Sha-ho, sha-ho, sha-ho, sha-ho

Y'all ain't got it together

Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead

Raise your hand up, straight in the air

(let's get it up, let's get it up)

Yeah

Say no

(say no) No - if U can't find your way - everybody say

(say no) No - if U're afraid, everybody ain't got it made

(Say no) - if U want a drug other than the God above

No - if U need a drink every single day...

Blow that devil away!

Say 'Yes'

Yes - if U want this feeling called love

(come on 'ya, say)

Yes - if U want it now raise your hand 2 the man above

(Yes) Up on the 2, swing right on the 4

We want everybody 2 open this door!

Say 'No' - if U don't wanna live life under the gun

(I know) We know a better way 2 have some fun

(I know) I know - there is a heaven and a hell

I know there is a heaven and a hell

[song breaks down into a crowd noise...]

Tell ya what...

Man, are we on the guest list?

Guest list? Guest list?

I don't see no 5 dollars U owe...

Ok

I'm gonna go to the car

I'm goin' home.

I'm gonna have one of them sandwiches.

[sleep] sandwich, that's right

I need the green three sheets.

That's right. (that's what I'm talkin' about)

A peanut-butter sandwich (her and her girlfriend)

(the one that was standin')

[D] (right next to my woman...)

(right next to my woman)

Let us praise God [E]

With the fruit of the vine ((My name's Andre Crabtree III))

Our [innocent] symbol of glory ((I've got more holes than a golf course))

And thank him 4 lessons

Of the past, for life, Prince...

Me, Marvin Gaye & The Kidzz

Dig if U can a picture,

of Me, Marvin Gaye and The Kiddz... :

I was just spellbound by this - I just  could not turn away.

And at a certain way in, just listening to his voice and his humulity and humour and joy of love as he opened up his heart... Once you're into him and everything he is saying and what he is about, at one point, almost out of no-where, he says something right out of the blue that  just blew my mind right out the top of my skull when I heard it...

Ivo Shandor

You 

Egon Spengler: 

The structure of this roof cap is exactly like the kind of telemetry tracker that NASA uses to identify dead pulsars in deep space.

Ray Stantz: 

Cold riveted girders with cores of pure selenium.

Peter Venkman: [to jailbirds] 

Everyone getting this so far? So what? I guess they just don't make them like they used to.

Stantz: [slaps Venkman up the head] 

No! Nobody ever made them like this! The architect was either a certified genius or an authentic wacko!

Venkman: 

Ray, for a moment, pretend that I don't know anything about metallurgy, engineering, or physics, and just tell me what the hell is going on.

Stantz: 

You never studied. The whole building is a huge super-conductive antenna that was designed and built expressly for the purpose of pulling in and concentrating spiritual turbulence. 

Your girlfriend, Pete, lives in the corner penthouse of Spook Central.

Venkman: 

She's not my girlfriend. I find her interesting because she's a client and because she sleeps above her covers. 

Four feet above her covers! She barks, she drools, she claws...

Spengler: 

It's not the girl, Peter, it's the building! 

Something terrible is about to enter our world, and this building is obviously the door. 

The architect's name was Ivo Shandor. I found it in Tobin's Spirit Guide. 

He was also a doctor. Performed a lot of unnecessary surgery. 

And then in 1920, he founded a secret society.

Venkman: Let me guess: Gozer worshippers?

Spengler: Right.

Venkman: [to Stantz] 

"No studying"!

Spengler: 

After the First World War, Shandor decided that society was too sick to survive. 

And he wasn't alone; he had close to a thousand followers when he died. 

They conducted rituals up on the roof, bizarre rituals intended to bring about the end of the world, and now it looks like it may actually happen!

Venkman: [singing] 

So be good, for goodness sake! Whoa! Somebody's coming! Somebody's coming!

Ray Stantz: 

We have to get out of here. We've gotta get a judge or something.

Zeddemore: 

Hey, wait a minute! Hold it! Now are we actually gonna go before a federal judge, and tell him that some moldy Babylonian god is gonna drop in on Central Park West and start tearing up the city?!

Spengler: 

Sumerian, not Babylonian.

Venkman: 

Yeah. Big difference.

Zeddemore: 

No offense, guys, but I gotta get my own lawyer.
