The first cd that came to mind was Sirn o the Times. This
might be because
he mentions her in Dorothy Parker and this is also my favorite
Prince cd.
Before I comment on Dorothy Parker, I want to thank all of you for
responding, privately and publicly to my one and only post. :) Dorothy
Parker was an amazing woman and Gloria Steinem did her Master's thesis
on Parker. Steinem told a great story about Parker who was a member of
the Algonquin Round Table discussion group. Whenever they met they
would play a game whereby a person was given a word and they would have
to use that word in a sentence.
Parker was given the word "horticulture". She said "You can lead a
whore to culture but you can not make her think"
