Didn't Prince bar Weird Al from doing any parodies of his music? Yeah, if he ever saw TAFKA Ieukea he'd probably send a lawyer to shut it down. He'd have probably sent a lawyer for that, yeah. Prince didn't legally bar him, but Weird Al has a policy of getting permission first as a courtesy. Prince wouldn't grant permission any of the times Weird Al asked. (He didn't have to ask, granted. Due to a misunderstanding, Weird Al did Amish Paradise, under the impression he had Coolio's blessing, but that unfortunately not being the case. Still, the song came out, anyway, since the permission has always been a courtesy, not a legal hurdle he needed to clear. Similarly, he never got permission to record "Live or Let Die" as "Chicken Pot Pie" due to Paul McCartney being a vegetarian, which, is strange that he'd have a bone to pick with that, but alright then. Anyway, Weird Al has performed it in concert still, I believe.) Speaking of Weird Al and Prince..Weird Al once told EW ew.com/article/2003/06/13/eminem-feud-kenny-g-hair-weird-al-comes-clean/

I think the bigger question is did Prince Iaukea ever see Prince? Did Honky Tonk Man ever see Elvis? Has anybody ever seen John Cena? 🤔

We’re talking about the same Prince who after Michael Jackson got a huge reaction performing at James Brown’s birthday party and getting upstaged, was so mad that he allegedly wanted to run over MJ and LaToya with his limo after the show. If he really wanted to settle the beef, he should have held a media scrum with Muffins and Sparking Lime Water, like a reasonable adult!

Is it wrong that I prefer the WCW ripoff of Purple Rain than the actual Prince version?

I'm of the school of thought Prince wouldn't have minded it if the gimmick was given to a better wrestler.

WHen I first started my fantasy booking of WWE around the year 2000, I repurposed the Prince gimmick for "The Artist Formerly Known As Prince Albert." You see why I was never officially hired to book anything in WWE. I do see. They are COWARDS who don't know a good idea if it bit them on their butts.

Yeah, he’d fit in with Russo era WCW constantly wrecking cars in hit-and-run assaults. I love that Michael Jackson was 100 percent aware of the acrimony, too, and he apparently was made aware of some tabloid BS claiming that Prince had cast a spell on Bubbles, and that Michael was inconsolable. He found it, especially that gossip rag bit, hilarious.
