			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The show opens with with the new theme song for ECW: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeCQUSh1Pyo as Josh Matthews and Matt Stryker recap a video of last week&#8217;s controversial main event: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AnhAzKzLSoE4vQQdaKBOiiHsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20091103143038AA5wvLn They also would like to welcome the ECW Hardcore Champion, Christian. </p>
<p>Promo: Christian comes to the ring limping to the ring selling an injury well.  He grabs a microphone. &quot;Last week, well last week wasn&#8217;t one of my most favorite moments in ECW as you just saw. I think that all of you in the arena and the millions watching around the world as well as myself deserve an explination from Tonny Dreamer don&#8217;t you all?&quot; The audience claps in approval. Tommy Dreamer&#8217;s music hits and he gets heat. He grabs a mic. &quot;Well Christian, you think you deserve an explination? You think that you&#8217;re the victim? No I&#8217;m the victim! I have been playing 2nd fiddle while I watched you at the top of the ECW locker room. Well, that stoped last week! And tonight, I talked to Tiffany and it&#8217;s official: next week at Backlash, I face you for the ECW Hardcore Championship in what else? A Hardcore Match. I think it&#8217;s about time for ECW to get a little extreme!&quot; &quot;Tommy, I know your a little old and you mind is going but listen to me-&quot; Tommy wacks the crap out of Christian with the microphone and Dreamer ambushes Christian until Tiffany comes out. &quot;Tommy, I order you to leave the ring or I&#8217;ll take you out of the match at Backlash!&quot; Tommy walks away and begins toward Tiffany. &quot;Tommy, tonight I am putting you in a match against Yoshi Tatsu in the 1st main event. And Christian, you will have a rematch against William Regal after the way it ended last week. And Tommy, your match starts next.&quot;</p>
<p>Match 1- Tommy Dreamer vs. Yoshi Tatsu. Dreamer is in the ring and Tatsu comes out. Dreamer starts to really hammer down on Tatsu and he hits a clotheline. Dreamer goes for the pin. 1, 2, kickout. Yoshi kicks up like Shawn Michaels and gets renergized. Yoshi, out of nowhere, kicks Dreamer knocking his lights out. Yoshi goes for the pin. 1, 2, kickout. Yoshi looks at the ref in amazment and disbelief. Christian comes to the ring with a chair then and hits Dreamer. DQ!<br />
&quot;Here is you winner as the result of a disqualifacation, Tommy Dreamer!!!&quot;<br />
Post Match: Christian goes to town on Dreamer and beats him down really well. HE then hits the &quot;KillSwitch&quot; on Dreamer on the chair. He then grabs a mic. &quot;Well Tommy, it looks like this friendship has reached it&#8217;s limit. You want to get extreme at Backlash? I&#8217;M GAME!!!&quot;  Christian leaves. </p>
<p>Match 2- Shelton Benjamin vs. Paul Burchill. Benjamin comes out 1st followed by Paul. Benjamin attacks Paul after the bell sounds and really brings the hammer down. He nails a spinning dropkick and goes for a pin. 1, 2, kickout. Benjamin then irish whips Paul and he counters into a dropkick of his own. Paul then takes control for about 5 minutes and Shelton begins to regain momentum. He sets up Paul for the Paydirt and hits it. He goes for the pin. 1, 2, 3.<br />
&quot;Here is your winner, Shelton Benjamin!!!&quot;</p>
<p>Promo: William Regal is seen backstage and he cuts a promo on his opponent at Backlash, Yoshi Tatsu. &quot;At Backlash, less that a week away, I defend my ECW Championship against Yoshi Tatsu, who earlier tonight, won his match. Of course, it was via dq. But tonight, I will run through Christian like I&#8217;ve done in the past and at Backlash, I will do the same to Yoshi Tatsu.&quot;</p>
<p>Main Event- Champion vs. Champion rematch from last week: Christian vs. William Regal. Regal comes out 1st followed by Christian. Christian makes his way to the ring and is met up with Tommy Dreamer. He beats up Christian until they get to the ring and Dreamer &amp; Regal begins a 2 on 1 assault. They continue to beat down Christian until music hits. It&#8217;s Yoshoi Tatsu&#8217;s music but no one comes to the ring. Another superstar&#8217;s music hits and it&#8217;s Rob Van Dam!!! He comes to the ring to save Christian and separates the ambush. Christian gets back up and he beats on Dreamer while RVD beats up Regal. Christian hits the &quot;KillSwitch&quot; on Dreamer at the same time, RVD hits The 5 Star Frog Splash on Regal. They celebrate after with hugs and poses. </p>
<p>Card for Backlash on Sunday:<br />
1) Triple Threat Match for the WHC: John Cena vs. Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels (c)<br />
2) Triple Threat Tag Team Ladder Match for the WWHF Unifies TT Titles: Primo &amp; Evan Bourne vs. The Hart Dynasty vs. The Legacy (c)<br />
3) Single&#8217;s Match for the WWHF United States Championship: Kofi Kingston vs. Jack Swagger (c)<br />
4) Hardcore Match for the ECW Hardcore Championship: Tommy Dreamer vs. Christian (c)<br />
* 5) Triple Threat Match for the ECW Championship: Rob Van Dam vs. Yoshi Tatsu vs. William Regal (c)</p>
<p>BQ1: Was this week&#8217;s ECW good?<br />
BQ2: Will you tune in for Backlash?<br />
BQ3: Are you surprised that RAW was below average last night?<br />
Another promo: After Yoshi Tatsu&#8217;s music hits, Tiffany comes out again. &quot;Mr. Regal, I am highly disapointed in you for taking part in this onslaught. So as a result of you actions, I have decided to go along with the theme of Backlash: Triple Threat Matches. You will defend your ECW Title against Yoshi Tatsu, and this man. RVD comes out.<br />
<br />Hey am i RVD?I am already Orton but i asked for RVD aswell last ecw.<br />
Please answer.</p>

<p>Fiddle Player</p>
<p>On a frigid day, you could hear his tunes,<br />
On the corner of beginning and end.<br />
That fiddle a sorrowful pair eyes,<br />
Tears it will always descend.</p>
<p>His normal crowd shuffling in,<br />
When all light turns to dark.<br />
The notes he plays,<br />
Your dreaded sins<br />
Waiting to leave their mark.</p>
<p>The identical years, passing by,<br />
Bringing change upon us all.<br />
But that fiddle player always there<br />
Reeling you in with that same old trawl.</p>
<p>Telling the story of his childhood,<br />
Everyone begins to relate<br />
Because the music he plays, all night and day,<br />
Is the exact thing everyone hates</p>
<p>And as the beloved towers burned<br />
We fight an unnecessary war<br />
The once upon time audience<br />
All seeking to find more</p>
<p>Myself becoming an unwanted soul<br />
Driving everyone out of my life<br />
Isolated from all humanity,<br />
The only thing certain, that sorrowful fife</p>
<p>My friends all joining the army<br />
Their biggest fear as kids<br />
Growing up and changing<br />
They now honor those camouflage lids</p>
<p>And at the end of the day, with nothing but nothing<br />
We weep under the midnight moon<br />
With the only thing from being alone,<br />
The sound of that familiar tune<br />
<br />sorry Bobby&#8230;I have to agree with the rat&#8230;..try redeveloping your thoughts a little clearer&#8230;..organize a a structure that has flow&#8230;it&#8217;s not that bad&#8230;&#8230;needs more clarity and less abstract.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Where do I begin? I&#8217;ve had online &quot;flings&quot; before, where we chatted on IM and said we liked being together ect in the past. But thats as far as they went. Those usually always last just about a month then die.</p>
<p>Well Dec 5th I started talking to a guy. I live in Florida, him in California. We met off of Youtube of all websites. I made a comment on a Bing Crosby video that I was born in the wrong era. He replied to my comment saying &quot;I feel the same way&quot; I didn&#8217;t think anything of it then. Then I saw his screen name had the word Fiddle in it. I&#8217;m mostly Irish and the Fiddle is a big thing to me. I clicked on his screen name thinking I&#8217;ll see a middle aged gray haired man&#8230;but no, it was a guy in his mid 20&#8217;s about my age. I left a comment on his page, saying it was so cool he played the fiddle. The next day I got a personal message on Youtube from him, first we talked about his Fiddle playing, and that we both liked the same style music. 1940&#8217;s big ban, crooners, and old Country like bob wills, Eddie Arnold, and even Woody Guthrie. It was so cool to talk to someone my age, throw these names out and they actually knew who they were. We both also love the old Black &amp; White Movies and like the same Actors like Jimmy Stewart, and John Wayne, and Gregory Peck. After a week of this, he asked if I had a myspace. After just one day of emailing on myspace, he asked if we can chat on the phone.<br />
That First 2 weeks we would talk on the phone every night for 2-3 hours and never run out of things to say. We&#8217;d text each other like 20 times a day&#8230;never would 2 hours go by without one texting the other. The chemistry was just amazing, and we even had a few telepathic moments. Like I suggested he should see the movie Shop Around the Corner. The night he watched it, I got off work, I waited patiently for him to finish the movie. When I couldn&#8217;t wait any longer I called him, I was gonna ask &quot;how much longer?&quot; instead he says &quot;how did you do that?? I just finished the movie like 10 seconds ago!&quot;<br />
Another one..when I think of our future together for some reason the walls in our house are red..don&#8217;t know why&#8230;so after 2 weeks of this I told him, and he said the hair on him stood up because he wants red walls.<br />
We wanna live in the same part of the country, like to do the same stuff. We both used to be runners, I started running again, and so did he. If there was a such thing of a perfect match for me&#8230;he is it! After the first week he was set on using his next vacation time to come to Florida in April, and as of last night he still is.</p>
<p>That first month was great, every single morning he would text me good morning beautiful, and go to Youtube and share songs with me. He still texts me goodmorning..but its not goodmorning beautiful andf he doesn&#8217;t send me videos on youtube anymore. He used to text me back right away. now not so much. he went from texting me 20 times a day to more like 5 times now. Saturday he recieved a card in the mail from me. It was the first thing I ever sent him. He said he got misty eyed and read it over and over. He really liked it!! Monday was the very first night we didn&#8217;t talk on the phone since this started, because he was sick. Didn&#8217;t talk Tuesday either. Last night we talked but for only 30 minutes. I am really worried that he&#8217;s losing interest, and I&#8217;m trying to not text him all the time and look like I&#8217;m desperate. As of 3pm my time 12 noon his he text me once..I&#8217;ve text him 3 times. He went from texting me saying how much he missed me, and saying he loves me&#8230;to well hasn&#8217;t done any of that in 3 days. I said I loved him yesterday and he said he loved me to, but its not the same as him saying it first. I expressed my concern about him waiting 4 months for me, but he asured me &quot;Don&#8217;t you worry about me&quot; like he was for real.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve never been this serious in a LDR or online relationship before so I&#8217;m not sure if this is a sure sign that its going down hill or just calming down? how do I get him interested in me again?<br />
<br />Don&#8217;t worry, we cancers are very loyal and hardly ever lose interest in someone. Unless they do something mean. But even then, if they apologize, we&#8217;d still be likely to give them many more chances. Seriously, when they say Cling, they mean Cling! We hardly ever let go, unless there is rational reason to. We are quite rational actually. they say we go on feelings&#8230;but yes, ok what we do is that we give our feelings lots of importance. We&#8217;re always aware of how we feel. But we can also ignore our temporary, fleeting feelings for the sake of common sense&#8230;.aka IT&#8217;S TIME TO MOVE ON. So we do know when to move on. We just have strong feelings and strong attachments, so as long as the person is not horribly evil or has too much drama that we is making us drown in it, we will stand by you and always forgive you. (until it gets to be too much of coure. There should always be a line there, right?)</p>
<p>Remember, Cancer&#8217;s teaching is &quot;Love is devotion.&quot; Haha! so there&#8217;s nothin&#8217; we do better!</p>
<p>Ok, I have a capricorn best friend, so I see the resemblance. She gets very sad and worried that i dont call her enough or hang out enough, and I just need some space and some time by myself. I really like spending time with myself. heehee. So she holds her feelings from me and one day explodes about them when we have a tiny misunderstanding about something insignificant, and I tell her, where did all this come from, you know? I had no idea she felt that way, and i if i had known, i wouldve done something about it a long time ago.</p>
<p>To us cancers, there is nothing, sweeter, nothing nicer, nothing that feels better, than to make someone ELSE feel better. So, yeah, now I&#8217;m calling her more, hanging out with her more. just because she needs it, you know? That&#8217;s what makes her happy, and it&#8217;s simple for me to do so it couldn&#8217;t be any better than that.</p>
<p>What you really, urgently, desperately need to do..is tell him about it. That&#8217;s what I would have given 100 dollars for my friend to have done for me, tell me sooner! So she wouldn&#8217;t have had to suffer for so long. (Lol.) that&#8217;s just terrible! Alright, so please, go ahead, tell him about it&#8230;he will probably be like, really i had no idea..i&#8217;m so sorry. Just be nice about it don&#8217;t accuse him of anything like &quot;you did this this this and this and you never do This. WHY?!&quot; lol. Instead try &quot;Listen I&#8217;ve been very worried lately that you&#8217;re losing interest in me. This thought has been killing me! Will you please tell me if I&#8217;m worrying about absolutely nothing?! Please, it&#8217;s really really killing me.&quot;</p>
<p>We respond very well to vulnerability. To asking for help, admitting feeling bad about oneself, admitting feeling worried, sad, hopeless desperate pathetic. Haha. We do respond very well to someone admitting their own vulnerability, being very honest about it. It&#8217;s very attractive to us. We like to nurture! Remember! so let yourself be nurtured, and enjoy the ride <img src='http://acmestringensemble.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>Well Dec 5th I started talking to a guy. I live in Florida, him in California. We met off of Youtube of all websites. I made a comment on a Bing Crosby video that I was born in the wrong era. He replied to my comment saying &quot;I feel the same way&quot; I didn&#8217;t think anything of it then. Then I saw his screen name had the word Fiddle in it. I&#8217;m mostly Irish and the Fiddle is a big thing to me. I clicked on his screen name thinking I&#8217;ll see a middle aged gray haired man&#8230;but no, it was a guy in his mid 20&#8217;s about my age. I left a comment on his page, saying it was so cool he played the fiddle. The next day I got a personal message on Youtube from him, first we talked about his Fiddle playing, and that we both liked the same style music. 1940&#8217;s big ban, crooners, and old Country like bob wills, Eddie Arnold, and even Woody Guthrie. It was so cool to talk to someone my age, throw these names out and they actually knew who they were. We both also love the old Black &amp; White Movies and like the same Actors like Jimmy Stewart, and John Wayne, and Gregory Peck. After a week of this, he asked if I had a myspace. After just one day of emailing on myspace, he asked if we can chat on the phone.<br />
That First 2 weeks we would talk on the phone every night for 2-3 hours and never run out of things to say. We&#8217;d text each other like 20 times a day&#8230;never would 2 hours go by without one texting the other. The chemistry was just amazing, and we even had a few telepathic moments. Like I suggested he should see the movie Shop Around the Corner. The night he watched it, I got off work, I waited patiently for him to finish the movie. When I couldn&#8217;t wait any longer I called him, I was gonna ask &quot;how much longer?&quot; instead he says &quot;how did you do that?? I just finished the movie like 10 seconds ago!&quot;<br />
Another one..when I think of our future together for some reason the walls in our house are red..don&#8217;t know why&#8230;so after 2 weeks of this I told him, and he said the hair on him stood up because he wants red walls.<br />
We wanna live in the same part of the country, like to do the same stuff. We both used to be runners, I started running again, and so did he. If there was a such thing of a perfect match for me&#8230;he is it! After the first week he was set on using his next vacation time to come to Florida in April, and as of last night he still is.</p>
<p>That first month was great, every single morning he would text me good morning beautiful, and go to Youtube and share songs with me. He still texts me goodmorning..but its not goodmorning beautiful andf he doesn&#8217;t send me videos on youtube anymore. He used to text me back right away. now not so much. he went from texting me 20 times a day to more like 5 times now.

<p>I&#8217;ve never been this serious in a LDR or online relationship before so I&#8217;m not sure if this is a sure sign that its going down hill or just calming down?<br />
<br />In any relationship, you can&#8217;t expect the same things done over and over again. I think you just hit a plateau between both of you but that does not mean that it&#8217;s over. </p>
<p>Try something different. It&#8217;s your turn now to let him feel special. It&#8217;s much more of a challenge because he&#8217;s far and he&#8217;s only limited to text, chat or call. But it&#8217;s better than waiting for him to do the things he did before, or for just hoping that both of  you to get back to that same intensity on the start of your relationship. Believe me it would only make you sad and frustrated.</p>
<p>How about sending him something that he might like? It doesn&#8217;t have to be expensive or over the top. At least make him feel that you love him and express it in a new way.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>John Nelson turns sixty-nine today, and all the semiretired piano man wants for his birthday is to shoot some pool with his firstborn son. &quot;He&#8217;s real handy with a cue,&quot; says Prince, laughing, as he threads his old white T-bird through his old black neighborhood toward his old man&#8217;s house. &quot;He&#8217;s so cool. The old man knows what time it is.&quot; Hard time is how life has traditionally been clocked in North Minneapolis; this is the place &#8216;Time&#8217; forgot twelve years ago when the magazine&#8217;s cover trumpeted &quot;The Good Life in Minnesota,&quot; alongside a picture of Governor Wendell Anderson holding up a walleye. Though tame and middle-class by Watts and Roxbury standards, the North Side offers some of the few mean streets in town. The old sights bring out more Babbitt than Badass is Prince as he leads a leisurely tour down the main streets of his inner-city Gopher Prairie. He cruises slowly, respectfully: stopping completely at red lights, flicking on his turn signal even when no one&#8217;s at an intersection. Gone is the wary Kung Fu Grasshopper voice with which Prince whispers when meeting strangers or accepting Academy Awards. Cruising peacefully with the window down, he&#8217;s proof in a paisley jump suit that you can always go home again, especially if you never really left town. Tooling through the neighborhood, Prince speaks matter-of-factly of why he toyed with early interviewers about his father and mother, their divorce and his adolescent wanderings between the homes of his parents, friends and relatives. &quot;I used to tease a lot of journalists early on,&quot; he says, &quot;because I wanted them to concentrate on the music and not so much on me coming from a broken home. I really didn&#8217;t think that was important. What was important was what came out of my system that particular day. I don&#8217;t live in the past. I don&#8217;t play my old records for that reason. I make a statement, then move on to the next.&quot; The early facts, for the neo-Freudians: John Nelson, leader of the Prince Rogers jazz trio, knew Mattie Shaw from North Side community dances. A singer sixteen years John&#8217;s junior, Mattie bore traces of Billie Holiday in her pipes and more than a trace of Indian and Caucasian in her blood. She joined the Prince Rogers trio, sang for a few years around town, married John Nelson and dropped out of the group. She nicknamed her husband after the band; the son who came in 1958 got the nickname on his birth certificate. At home and on the street, the kid was &quot;Skipper.&quot; Mattie and John broke up ten years later, and Prince began his domestic shuttle. &quot;That&#8217;s where my mom lives,&quot; he says nonchalantly, nodding toward a neatly trimmed house and lawn. &quot;My parents live very close by each other, but they don&#8217;t talk. My mom&#8217;s the wild side of me; she&#8217;s like that all the time. My dad&#8217;s real serene; it takes the music to get him going. My father and me, we&#8217;re one and the same.&quot; A wry laugh. &quot;He&#8217;s a little sick, just like I am.&quot; &quot;That was the church I went to growing up,&quot; says Prince. &quot;I wonder who&#8217;s getting married.&quot; A fat little kid waves, and Prince waves back. &quot;Just all kinds of things here,&quot; he goes on, turning right. &quot;There was a school right there, John Hay. That&#8217;s where I went to elementary school,&quot; he says, pointing out a field of black tar sprouting a handful of bent metal basketball rims. &quot;And that&#8217;s where my cousin lives. I used to play there every day when I was twelve, on these streets, football up and down this block. That&#8217;s his father out there on the lawn.&quot; These lawns are where Prince the adolescent would also amuse his friends with expert Prince is fiddling with the tape deck inside the T-Bird. On low volume comes his unreleased &quot;Old Friends 4 Sale,&quot; an arrow-to-the-heart rock ballad about trust and loss. Unlike &quot;Positively 4th Street&quot; &#8212; which Bob Dylan reputedly named after a nearby Minneapolis block &#8212; the lyrics are sad, not bitter. &quot;I don&#8217;t know too much about Dylan,&quot; says Prince, &quot;but I respect him a lot. &#8216;All Along the Watchtower&#8217; is my favorite of his. I heard it first from Jimi Hendrix.&quot;  He turns onto Plymouth, the North Side&#8217;s main strip. When Martin Luther King got shot, it was Plymouth Avenue that burned. &quot;We used to go to that McDonald&#8217;s there,&quot; he says. &quot;I didn&#8217;t have any money, so I&#8217;d just stand outside there and smell stuff. Poverty makes people angry, brings out their worst side. I was very bitter when I was young. I was insecure and I&#8217;d attack anybody. I couldn&#8217;t keep a girlfriend for two weeks. We&#8217;d argue about anything.&quot; Across the street from McDonald&#8217;s, Prince spies a smaller landmark. He points to a vacant corner phone booth and remembers a teenage fight with a strict and unforgiving father. &quot;That&#8217;s where I called my dad and begged him to take me back after he kicked me out,&quot; he begins softly. &quot;He said no, so I called my sister and asked her to ask him. So she did, and afterward told me that all I had to do was call him back, tell him I was sorry, and he&#8217;s take me back. So I did, and he still said no. I sat crying at that phone booth for two hours. That&#8217;s the last time I cried.In the years between that phone-booth breakdown and today&#8217;s pool game came forgiveness. Says Prince, &quot;Once I made it, got my first record contract, got my name on a piece of paper and a little money in my pocket, I was able to forgive. Once I was eating every day, I became a much nicer person.&quot; But it took many more years for the son to understand what a jazzman father needed to survive. Prince figured it out when he moved into his purple house. &quot;I can be upstairs at the piano, and Rande [his cook] can come in,&quot; he says. &quot;Her footsteps will be in a different time, and it&#8217;s real weird when you hear something that&#8217;s a totally different rhythm than what you&#8217;re playing. A lot of times that&#8217;s mistaken for conceit or not having a heart. But it&#8217;s not. And my dad&#8217;s the same way, and that&#8217;s why it was hard for him to live with anybody. I didn&#8217;t realize that until recently. When he was working or thinking, he had a private pulse going constantly inside him. I don&#8217;t know, your bloodstream beats differently.&quot; Prince pulls the T-Bird into an alley behind a street of neat frame houses, stops behind a wooden one-car garage and rolls down the window. Relaxing against a tree is a man who looks like Cab Calloway. Dressed in a crisp white suit, collar and tie, a trim and smiling John Nelson adjusts his best cuff links and waves. &quot;Happy birthday,&quot; says the son. &quot;Thanks,&quot; says the father, laughing. Nelson says he&#8217;s not even allowing himself a piece of cake on his birthday. &quot;No, not this year,&quot; he says with a shake of the head. Pointing at his son, Nelson continues, &quot;I&#8217;m trying to take off ten pounds I put on while visiting him in Los Angeles. He eats like I want to eat, but exercises, which I certainly don&#8217;t.&quot; Father then asks son if maybe he should drive himself to the pool game so he won&#8217;t have to be hauled all the way back afterward. Prince says okay, and Nelson, chuckling, says to the stranger, &quot;Hey, let me show you what I got for my birthday two years ago.&quot; He goes over to the garage and gives a tug on the door handle. is a An &quot;That. &quot;We used parts of my past and present to make the story pop more, but it was a story. My dad wouldn&#8217;t have nothing to do with guns. He never swore, still doesn&#8217;t, and never drinks.&quot; Prince looks in his rearview mirror at the car tailing him. &quot;He don&#8217;t look sixty-nine, do he? He&#8217;s so cool. He&#8217;s got girlfriends, lots of &#8216;em.&quot; Prince drives alongside two black kids walking their bikes. &quot;Hey, Prince,&quot; says one casually. &quot;Hey,&quot; says the driver with a nod, &quot;how you doing?&quot; Passing by old neighbors watering their lawns and shooting hoops, the North Side&#8217;s favorite son talks about his hometown. &quot;I wouldn&#8217;t move, just cuz I like it here so much. I can go out and not get jumped on. It feels good not to be hassled when I dance, which I do a lot. It&#8217;s not a think of everybody saying, &#8216;Whoa, who&#8217;s out with who here?&#8217; while photographers flash their bulbs in your face.&quot; Nearing the turnoff that leads from Minneapolis to suburban Eden Prairie, Prince flips in another tape and peeks in the rearview mirror. John Nelson is still right behind. &quot;It&#8217;s real hard for my father to show emotion,&quot; says Prince, heading onto the highway. &quot;He never says, &#8216;I love you,&#8217; and when we hug or something, we bang our heads together like in some Charlie Chaplin movie. But a while ago, he was telling me how I always had to be careful. My father told me, &#8216;If anything happens to you, I&#8217;m gone.&#8217; All I thought at first was that it was a real nice thing to say. But then I thought about it for a while and realized something. That was my father&#8217;s way of saying &#8216;I love you.&#8217;&quot; A few minutes later, Prince and his father pull in front of the Warehouse, a concrete barn in an Eden Prairie industrial park. Inside, the Family, a rock-funk band that Prince has been working with, is pounding out new songs and dance routines. The group is as tight as ace drummer Jellybean Johnson&#8217;s pants. At the end of one hot number, Family members fall on their backs, twitching like fried eggs. Prince and his father enter to hellos from the still-gyrating band. Prince goes over to a pool table by the soundboard, racks the balls and shimmies to the beat of the Family&#8217;s next song. Taking everything in, John Nelson gives a professional nod to the band, his son&#8217;s rack job and his own just-chalked cue. He hitches his shoulders, takes aim and breaks like Minnesota Fats. A few minutes later, the band is still playing and the father is still shooting. Prince, son to this father and father to this band, is smiling. THE NIGHT BEFORE, in the Warehouse, Prince is about to break his three-year public silence. Wearing a jump suit, powder-blue boots and a little crucifix on a chain, he dances with the Family for a little while, plays guitar for a minute, sings lead for a second, then noodles four-handed keyboard with Susannah Melvoin, Wendy&#8217;s identical-twin sister. Seeing me at the door, Prince comes over. &quot;Hi,&quot; he whispers, offering a hand, &quot;want something to eat or drink?&quot; On the table in front of the band are piles of fruit and a couple bags of Doritos. Six different kinds of tea sit on a shelf by the wall. No drugs, no booze, no coffee. Prince plays another lick or two and watches for a few more minutes, then waves goodbye to the band and heads for his car outside the concrete barn. &quot;I&#8217;m not used to this,&quot; mumbles Prince, staring straight ahead through the windshield of his parked car. &quot;I really thought I&#8217;d never do interviews again.&quot; we drive for twenty minutes, talking about Minnesota&#8217;s skies, air and cops. Gradually, his voice comes up, bringing with it inflections, hand gestures and laughs. faced icons of Yahweh or Lucifer. &quot;We&#8217;re here,&quot; Monroe to talk to. Indeed, if a real-estate agent led a tour through Prince&#8217;s house, one would guess that the resident was, at most, a hip suburban surgeon who likes deep-pile carpeting. &quot;Hi,&quot; says Rande, from the kitchen, &quot;you got a couple of messages.&quot; Prince thanks her and offers up some homemade chocolate-chip cookies. He takes a drink from a water cooler emblazoned with a Minnesota North Stars sticker and continues the.&quot;This place,&quot; he says, &quot;is not a prison. And the only things it&#8217;s a shrine to are Jesus, love and peace.&quot; Off the kitchen is a living room that holds nothing your aunt wouldn&#8217;t have in her house. On the mantel are framed pictures of family and friends, including one of John Nelson playing a guitar. There&#8217;s a color TV and VCR, a long coffee table supporting a dish of jellybeans, and a small silver unicorn by the mantel. Atop the large mahogany piano sits an oversize white Bible. The only unusual thing in either of the two guest bedrooms is a two-foot statue of a smiling yellow gnome covered by a swarm of butterflies. One of the monarchs is flying out of a heart-shaped hole in the gnome&#8217;s chest. &quot;A friend gave that to me, and I put it in the living room,&quot; says Prince. &quot;But some people said it scared them, so I took it out and put it in here.&quot; Downstairs from the living room is a narrow little workroom with recording equipment and a table holding several notebooks. &quot;Here&#8217;s where I recorded all of 1999,&quot; says Prince, &quot;all right in this room.&quot; On a low table in the corner are three Grammys. &quot;Wendy,&quot; says Prince, &quot;has got the Academy Award.&quot; The work space leads into the master bedroom. It&#8217;s nice. And&#8230;normal. No torture devices or questionable appliances, not even a cigarette butt, beer tab or tea bag in sight. A four-poster bed above plush white carpeting, some framed pictures, one of Marilyn Monroe. A small lounging area off the bedroom provides a stereo, a lake-shore view and a comfortable place to stretch out on the floor and talk. And talk he did &#8212; his first interview in three years. A few hours later, Prince is kneeling in front of the VCR, showing his &quot;Raspberry Beret&quot; video. He explains why he started the clip with a prolonged clearing of the throat. &quot;I just did it to be sick, to do something no one else would do.&quot; He pauses and contemplates. &quot;I turned on MTV to see the premiere of &#8216;Raspberry Beret&#8217; and Mark Goodman was talking to the guy who discovered the backward message on &#8216;Darling Nikki.&#8217; They were trying to figure out what the cough meant too, and it was sort of funny.&quot; He pauses again. &quot;But I&#8217;m not getting down on him for trying. I like that. I&#8217;ve always had little hidden messages, and I always will.&quot; He then plugs in a videocassette of &quot;4 the Tears in Your Eyes,&quot; which he&#8217;s just sent to the Live Aid folks for the big show. &quot;I hope they like it,&quot; he said, shrugging his shoulders. change clothes.&quot; He comes back a couple minutes later wearing another paisley jump suit, &quot;the only kind of clothes I own.&quot; And the boots? &quot;People say I&#8217;m wearing heels because I&#8217;m short,&quot; he says, laughing. &quot;I wear heels because the women like &#8216;em.&quot; A FEW MINUTES LATER, driving toward the First Avenue club, Prince is talking about the fate of the most famous landmark in Minneapolis. &quot;Before Purple Rain,&quot; he says, &quot;all the kids who came to First Avenue knew us, and it was just like a big, fun fashion show. The kids would dress for themselves and just try to took really cool. Once you got your thing right, you&#8217;d stop looking at someone else. You&#8217;d be yourself, and you&#8217;d feel comfortable.&quot; As we pull up in front of First Avenue, a Saturday-night crowd is milling around outside, combing their hair, smoking cigarettes, holding hands. They stare with more interest than awe as Prince gets out of the car. &quot;You want to go to the [VIP] booth?&quot; asks the bouncer. &quot;Naah,&quot; says Prince. &quot;I feel like dancing.&quot; A few feet off the packed dance floor stands the Family, taking a night off from rehearsing. Prince joins the band and laughs, kisses, soul shakes. Prince and three of Family members wade through a floor of Teddy-and-Eleanor-Mondale-brand funkettes and start moving. Many of the kids Prince passes either don&#8217;t see him or pretend they don&#8217;t care. Most of the rest turn their heads slightly to see the man go by, then simply continue their own motions. An hour later, he&#8217;s on the road again, roaring out of downtown. Just as he&#8217;s asked if there&#8217;s anything in the world that he wants but doesn&#8217;t have, two blondes driving daddy&#8217;s Porsche speed past. &quot;I don&#8217;t,&quot; Prince says with a giggle, &quot;have them.&quot; He catches up to the girls, rolls down the window and throws a ping-pong ball that was on the floor at them. They turn their heads to see what kind of geek is heaving ping-pong balls at them on the highway at two in the morning. When they see who it is, mouths drop, hands wave, the horn blares. Prince rolls up his window, smiles silently and speeds by.<br />
<br />Interesting, never knew very much about Prince, even though I grew  up listening to his music and watching Purple Rain a million times.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>2 of the songs I recorded at my debut session were written by Williams, &quot;Six More Miles&quot; and &quot;When God Comes and Gathers His Jewels&quot;. My band of fiddle, dobro, rhythm guitars, &amp; bass had the same melancholy as Hank&#8217;s Drifting cowboys. I was a 23 yr. old mountain girl at that time.Some one says I really sounded like a female Roy Acuff. I disapproved of honkytonk music &amp; the world it belonged to.  I told my listeners &quot; Don&#8217;t forget the Family Prayer&quot; &quot;Don&#8217;t sell daddy anymore whiskey.&quot; I started out at WCHS in Charleston, W. VA. at age 16. I am the younger sister of Cecil  &quot;Skeets&quot; Williamson and played the banjo.  I did such things as &quot;Too Late&#8212;Too Late&quot;, &quot;The Tramp on the Street&quot;, &quot;The Black Sheep Returned to the Fold&quot;, and &quot;The Drunken River&quot;.<br />
I could have been country music&#8217;s biggest heart throb and maybe even sex symbol if only I&#8217;d more flexible, more worldly.</p>
<p>Hint: I was married to Lynn Davis ,also known as &quot;Dixie Lee&quot;.<br />
