    Mayor Cass, this might be the greatest thing you ever do, until the day that you join Twitter.

    Bless you, my royal son.

    Nay to Twitter! Nay!

    But thanks for reading it.

    People ask me on Twitter: "ATV, I see everyone else from Popdose on here, except for Mayor Cass. What is he, too good for Twitter?"

    I tell them "He's the goddamn mayor of Bootleg City. Any more stupid questions?"

    Tell everyone on Twitter to leave me and my Argentinean mistress alone!

    I did that. Their reply was "What about the pictures?"

    Fine. Here's one where she's doing her impression of a goalpost:

    Sublime. Prince at the peak of his powers. For my money, Prince's true purple reign was the '87-'88 period in which he put out the masterpiece Sign O' The Times, the Black Album (OK, the bootleg until it was officially released in '94) and Lovesexy.

    I have this show and love it. The "Sign O' the Times" shows were really tight and some of his best. If you've never seen the concert film from this tour (which was, admittedly, mostly filmed on a soundstage at Paisley Park), watch it now.

    You stole my schtick!
  • rwcass · 4 months ago
    But you died in 1989, Dickie. I thought your shtick was fair game at that point.

    Excellent post! For the technically challenged among us, could someone point to directions that will allow us to download this material? (Or is it un-downloadable? Because while I can hear the material just fine, I can't seem to save it...)
  • rwcass · 4 months ago
    Hold down the "control" key while right-clicking on the song title and you should get a "Save File" prompt.

    Much obliged!

    Hello there. Downloaded all of the songs but had trouble with the lead track, "Sign 'O The Times." For some reason, only 25 seconds of it shows up when you try to download it. Tried doing this a couple of times but had the same result. Is it something with that particular MP3 file?
  • rwcass · 4 months ago
    It downloaded fine for me. Try it again, and see if it works. I know that on my previous computer, when I used Firefox, my first try with a download on Popdose would usually fail. But once I tried again, it would work fine. Let me know if it doesn't work, though; I'll be taking down these MP3s a little later today.
