Muslim American leader expresses admiration for Prince

Long article but here are the relevant excerpts:

:It is the face of a bearded and balding father of 9 and grandfather of 10 who has been married four times, loves to cook and putter around his modest south suburban home--and professes a surprising admiration for the music of Prince, the sexually charged rocker. "He's cleaned up his act," he says. "Now I don't have to go sneak to see him.":

:A few years ago, he and NGina attended a Prince concert together. He greatly admires the rock star. "I've been following Prince since he was outrageously nasty," he says. "I was able to see past the nastiness. I saw him as a very intelligent man with a cause. He was in a spirit to lead people away from the grip of the world and free their minds.":

Nastyness? What nastyness?

There was nothing to clean up. The move from sexual to spiritual explicity is nothing but a shift of passion.

I hate to say this, but I hate it when people say stuff like "now I dont have to go sneak to see him". Because its kind of thinking that gives Prince and even bigger guilt complex. I mean, I know it may be true, but...why say that? What's the point? Anyway, I'm glad the brother digs his music.

That's is great, Prince is able to bring diffrent religions with his music together. This is reason to love him.
