In 1985 Prince released his 7th album "Around the World in a Day"<br />I couldn't help but notice some of the strange artwork on this album....Looks like an<br />album full of future premonitions to me! <br />Prince and Michael. 2 great musicians and artists of our time who always seems to be <br />trying to warn us of government and media control through their art. How did they know???<br /><br /><br />Here is 'Around the World in a Day ' album art circa 1985: Left side <br />Notice the airplane in the sky (911!)  the weeping woman, a stray dog, and birds flying astray.<br /><br />aroundtheworldinadayleftside250.jpg<br /><br /><br />Now here is the right side of the album:<br />Notice the "boy with the balloon" (remember the balloon hoax??) We also have an old man with a cane <br />(another old man!) a man with a surgical mask (kind of Michael's trademark look) and a mysterious figure <br />in black! (Reminds me of Janets look lately??)<br /> SO much symbolism here. To top it off we have a ladder leading to the sky which represents going<br /> to a higher place.  The message:  "Life is going to get bad people!" Keep in mind, this was 1985!<br /><br />aroundtheworldinadayrightside250.jpg<br /><br />The balloon boy up close:<br />boywiththeballoonatwiad.jpg<br /><br />The weeping woman : (She's the one with the airplane above her head!)<br />theoldwomanweepsatwiad.jpg<br /><br />Here is also an earlier album from Prince from 1981 with messages for us.  "Controversy"<br />prince-controversy-album-artwork-15650.jpg<br /><br />So do the artists of our time have privy to information that the general public never get until its too late??<br />Remember Prince's words about Michael??  <br /><br />"He may know something none of us know....just wait it out...."<br />

  • Balloon boy hoax video: Check this out!! haha!<br /><br />
  • This was interesting artwork and maybe a way of Prince warning us of what is to come or to get our attention at least. This information has always been available, in the Bible, but many people choose not to read it, to understand it or believe it. We read it but we don't know what it is really teaching us.
    I agree with Prince, yes this world is going to get bad !! I think everyone would agree that things are only getting worse. The bible prophesied this would happen before it gets better. I am not preaching nor do I want to offend anyone...just my thoughts.

    I agree and it is so strange how alot of the artwork makes sense now more than ever.
    I remember looking at that album as a teenager and thinking that it looked very religious to me.
    Had no idea that I would be witnessing this art come to life some day!

    Thank you for your input! <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) -->

  • Well.....<br />Prince and Michael were the same age and always competing with each other.<br />SoOoooOoo it isn't surprising to me.<br /><br />Have any of you ever seen the youtube Vid where Prince makes an a$$ out of himself at the James Brown concert where Michael dances ...then James asks <br />Prince to come on stage....man..I was embarrassed for Prince....bet he is still <br />mentally living THAT one down.<br /><br />
