Trust: Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast



On Episode 130 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast, I welcome Roy Turner (@TrickyKid2 on Twitter) of Tricky Kid Media on iHeart Radio back to the show to talk with me about what Prince is trying to tell us on “Trust” from the Batman soundtrack. Prince has a few relevant questions for his prospective romantic partners, and we want to get to the heart of the matter.

Check out Roy’s latest Prince-related project, The Story of Jill Jones & Prince on YouTube as well as all of the other podcasts on Prince: The Encore.

Vicki Waiting: Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast



On Episode 129 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast, Julian Long and I attempt to make sense of a song that Prince wrote for a budding ingenue but repurposed for the Batman soundtrack, “Vicki Waiting.” We toss around ideas of what the lyrics could have been in its original incarnation and debate whether this is a Bruce Wayne song at its heart or if it’s more suitable as a Joker song. The wait is over.
