It just seems maybe instead being innovative, its more routine. Used to be a time where most of the songs on an album were good to great and then he would have B side that would be killer, now its maybe two songs and the rest are fillers.

Regardless of what musical style made the term iconic in music; we know Prince is just using religious imagery in the same way he's done countless time. I mean how is this any different than the song "7"; which is full of religious imagery. As for it being used for something trivial; I don't know. I read the lyrics someone transcribed and while I'm not exactly sure what he's singing about exactly; doesn't sound trivial :) Victor NPS wrote: > Of course I understand that it has Biblical origins... still its invocation > in popular music was pretty much made iconic in roots reggae.
