Music So, Prince Wrote a Song About the Minnesota Vikings
Posted by Mark Asch on Fri, Jan 22, 2010 at 2:37 PM
The song itself is not exactly what it sounds like when doves cry—it's sort of children's-chorus and martial at the same time, like much of the free-form-jazz-oddyssey stuff Prince has been doing since God commanded him 2 stop performing all his best songs—though the lyrics r fairly mystical/ecstatic ("raise every voice and let it b known/in the name of the purple and gold").
As 4 the Vikings, they r said 2 b delighted with the song; a team spokesman said they hope 2 have Prince appear at halftime of the NFC Championship Game, and invoke the Norse spirit of victory with his 50-foot-high electrocuted demon guitar phallus.
This concludes The L Magazine's coverage of the weekend's NFL playoff games.
