Minneapolis’ own Prince is pulling lyrics from the headlines again, particularly in a new song he performed on Jay Leno’s TV show last week. “Ol’ Skool Company” references America’s financial bailouts, with a local angle: “Fat cats on Wall Street, they got a bailout, think it was the AIG — $700 billion — but my old neighborhood, ain’t nothing changed but me.” (Prince’s “old neighborhood” is North Minneapolis.) But today it’s another, 20-year-old Prince song — “Sometimes It Snows in April” — that’s most timely. Videos after the jump.
