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 /><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 /><br /><br />The balloon boy up close:<br /><br /><br />The weeping woman : (She's the one with the airplane above her head!)<br /><br /><br />Here is also an earlier album from Prince from 1981 with messages for us. "Controversy"<br /><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 />

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:) -->
I LOVE this video!! Yes, Prince made a TOTAL a$$ out of himself!! <!-- s --><!-- s -->
I do think the 2 of them have always been in a "Brotherly Love" type of competition!!
Yeah...me too...only in the earlier years I think it was more serious.
Yep, I know....so wierd. Fashion statements or something more serious?? <!-- s:?: -->:?:<!-- s:?: -->
