No Picture Dan Average	#1 by Dan Johnson at Mar 9, 1973 at 12:52 AM EST
	OldSkool, I heard it does. Prince has made music also for other artists under several pseudonyms. I heard once that Christopher Tracy was one of these, and this song was done when Prince stopped using that name. I understand that he was also in court with a record company on Tracy's songs. Hence, "Tracy died soon after a long fought civil war" :-) Unverified rumour, mind ya... a masterpiece nonetheless.

	it does snow in april. it snows in april all the f--king time.

No Picture Cory Wanna Be	#3 by Cory at Sep 11, 1976 at 6:17 AM EST
	thanks for that profound dissescion, pat. cough I've heard the same story about this referring to his legal battles with Warner. His identity shift, designed to circumvent legal entanglements, may very well have felt like a death. Any way you slice it, that unpronounceable glyph was certainly a killer in its own right.

No Picture Mr. Always Mezm Average	#4 by Mr. Always Mezmerized (o)(o) at Oct 22, 1976 at 1:54 PM EST
	when i hear civil war i feel like he had a fight inside with himself and he ended up killhimself.

No Picture James Wanna Be	#5 by James Pigott at Jan 16, 1991 at 2:47 PM EST
	Anyone think that perhaps maybe it's got a much deeper meaning to it (other than being the song from the movie)?

No Picture ian Average	#6 by ian mckinly at Nov 30, 2006 at 5:40 PM EST
	one of my all time favourites. such meaning in the lyrics and the way they are sung. one of prince's finest moments.

No Picture Matt Rhythm Player	#7 by Matt at Apr 16, 2007 at 3:45 AM EST
	I always thought he was referring to a friend (fictitious or not) that had died of AIDS/HIV (long fought civil war reference) .... i may have read too literally ....
