First, I'm sure you realize there is some exageration. But I got that from listening to them. And on average his songs last forever! Especially his 80's music. It must have been the cocain.
Forever? Purple Rain is 8 minutes and 45 seconds long, that's one of his longer songs.
Unless, of course, 8 minutes is "forever" to you.

Which isn't that much worse then Don McLean's American Pie. Now that song seemed so much longer then it actually is.
Still, I give it kudos as during my High School grad I asked a girl I liked to dance next song (naturally she accepted)... which just happened to be the full American Pie. Close slow dancing for 8 minutes. Ahh, memories.

His longest song is The war which is 26 min., which I doubt this person has ever heard. The longest song he must have heard then must be Purple rain which is 8 minutes.
And overall his 90's songs last longer than his 80's songs.
In the 80's u've practically only got Purple Rain, in the 90's u've got The War, Gold, Come, Cloreen bacon Skin, Crystal Ball etc.
The only Prince songs I think is 2 long is Cloreen Bacon Skin which lasts 15 minutes.

Well technically Lovesexy was intended as one song, at around 45 minutes.

Well, plenty of other nations have banned, or heavily censored, or put a watershed on other shows and the Simpson's. Certain Middle Eastern countries spring to mind.And then there are nations that simply never imported them to begin with.
I agree. Its not like China is the only or the first country to do so. Meh, what you never had, you can't miss.

Yeah, but the most recent CD-release of LoveSexy is a 9-track album.
" Eye No"
"Alphabet St."
"Glam Slam"
"Anna Stesia"
"Dance On"
"Lovesexy"
"When 2 R In Love"
"I Wish U Heaven"
"Positivity"
So China only lets shows be shown on certain times because they want people to watch Chinese TV. Doesn't Canada do something similar (networks must show x amounts of Canadian television)? I know that China is an evil dictatorship and we're supposed to hate all their policies, but really, who gives a damn?

It wasn't intended as that. I don't have that one, I have the one song one.

I thought every nation had a provision as such. Australia has things in place to try and insure we aren't totally drowned by shows from the US and England - that is protecting Australian content, and insuring it has a chance to get to the screens. As it is it has been poorly done. So many bad US shows get in. Terrible sitcoms. Terrible reality TV. Fortunately youR Fox News is regulated to 4am on one station in the dead zone with TV evangelists and telemall shopping.
I think it is a good thing to, to try and protect local content from mass produced, cheaply attainable television. I mean, sure, a little is good. But how many more versions of CSI and Law and Order can we possibly buy from the US and put on? How many more "smash hits in the US!" do we have in us? I mean, it seems as changable as the sun - is every show in the US a smash hit, or do people just move on quickly over there?

Did you people even read the article?They're not banning these shows, but rather limiting the times in which they can be shown. It's just a lame attempt to help out their poor animation studios do better, restricting viewers at a certain time to only native-made cartoons. This only side steps the real problem though--that these animators suck, and TV stations will suffer the consequences when viewers change the channel to something else. Without any real competition for prime time positions, these shows will become even worse because they have a monopoly for specific times. Though to be frank, it's not really a big deal and considering what the cartoon viewers prefer, foreign-made shows, this ploy will backfire and it'll most likely be back to the old ways.
Sorry no I did not.
