WAS PRINCE EVER ON DRUGS? just looking at pictures of prince from around 1995, he was very gaunt looking, not very healthy at all...compared to how he looks now, he looks much better. so do you think he was ever on them?....or was this the start of the vegan diet hitting him hard? | |

I remember seeing him perform "Endorphinmachine" on VH1 Honors that year and thought he looked very thin also. I just thought it was because he was wearing that black outfit. I guess that's why black is my favorite color, it makes you appear thinner. Andy has spoken dammitt. | |

This is just my humble opinion but Prince was right in the middle of his legal battle with Warner Bros.

There have been a few people surrounding him that claimed he's done extacy. Its also been mentioned that the reason he pulled the Black album was because he had a bad trip (reaction). | |

I think the vegan diet was the reason he looked like that. "There's only three things for sure in life. We're all born, we all die, and Prince will make another record on of these days." - Alan Leeds | |

I think the stress was getting to him during 94-95. I agree Hes probaly one of those people that do not eat right when stressed | |

It could just as easily be an undereating thing as much as a drug thing. People being people will usually go for the drug option. The enemy is not the other, the enemy is you. | |

I've tried changing the font or putting it italics to separate it from my posts but I can't figure out how to do it. As far as the truthfulness of my signature, I've always heard that a president can only serve two terms. For the sake of anyone that is not a rich white heterosexual male, I hope I heard right.

hmm prince on drugs. Well he's confirmed anorexic, he hears voices apparently so at least minorly schizorphrenic, possibly triggered under stress. I would guess that the medication alone that he's been on is enough to make any normal person high as a kite (think thorazine). Now not only that, he's a millionair and he's an artist. So here we have a man with a lot of cash to blow, nothing to worry about in terms of living well financialy, that has a habbit of getting too friendly with his guitar on stage every now and then. I would say he's definitely done drugs or been on them, even alcohol is a drug; it just happens to be legal, though its more harmfull than some illegal drugs. | |

Prince has been on Thorazine? That is for psychotic behavior. "Remember, one man's filler is another man's killer" -- Haystack | |

Prince has been on Thorazine? That is for psychotic behavior. Not saying he's been on it, but with those sort of mental illnesses (and no, anorexia is not just some rumour, one look at his pictures and you can tell his BMI must be so low that kermit the frog out weighed him at one point) and the way he acts, I wouldn't be supprised if he went through an episode at one point. Its not a big deal realy, a lot of naive people think drugs aren't something *their* favorite artist could do hehe. But the fact is, not all drugs are life destroying demons, and most people at some point in their life use them in our current society. | |

I´ve always wondered about that line "U´re like a good pill" on "Tick, Tick, Bang". I´ve read about Prince poppin´ pills as early as during the Purple Rain period (wasn´t "Tick, Tick, Bang" originally written for Vanity?), and he certainly hit the medicine bottle big time during the late ´90s.

Off topic: but not true. after sitting out one term, a 2 term president can run again. 
Simply untrue. The 22ND AMENDMENT limits a president to two four-year terms. It does not matter if they are consecutive or not. The limit is two four year terms. Why didn't Reagan run again? Or Bill Clinton? Don't you think Bill Clinton would have won if he ran this year? Tehy did not run or even consider running because they couldn't. Hillary's name was brought up a lot this election cycle. If Bill Clinton could have run again, his name would have come up on a regular basis also, but he was not even mentioned once..

As for P trippin´ on E´s, well, that sounds plausible enough to me, all things considered. Still, I think his public anti-drug stance is what counts - after all, I don´t think he has claimed in any of his lyrics that he never did any drugs... Karri I thought "Tick, Tick, Bang" was written around the Controversy period? "Always blessings, never losses......"

This year, I don't know. In 2000, yes. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

Another reason behind this thin look is prolly the fact that he was on a "slave" trend. It is not believable to have a healthy looking slave on the radio claiming to be "paid" for his work (his back catalogue).

regarding this topic, i do agree that his period between 93-96 prince looked very sick and unhealthy. this was also a time when he obviously juggled women (nona gaye, carmen electra, mayte). the stress of it all probably took a toll on him. I personally don't think it was drugs, maybe he missed a few days worth a meals at periods but heavy drugs no. "Who gonna check me boo?"

) and i read some of it already and apparently he had a rough time around the whole warner dispute and he becoming vegan -- he started taking aspirins like 4 @ a time and at one point had a bottle of wine 2 himself and was then hospitilized because it took a big toll on him
