The title track "3121" reminds me of the kinda crazy gate music MJ wud have playing at the doors of the now extinct "Neverland"
Sounds freaky don't u think?

havent heard it - but seems to me he's headin in the same direction as Michael -
hard to take seriously .

LOL so true

sacredwarrior said:

Why should anyone be taken 'seriously'? What does that mean? Isn't life all a bit...odd and strange and unknown for anything to be, well, 'serious', however you define it? I don't understand what you mean, man. I mean, I dig some of your posts, but nah, this one means nothing. Who do you take seriously? At face value, you mean? Believeable? Not conceited, a liar? Whose words do you take to heart and live by? Who do you trust? Jesus? Michael Moore? Saul Bellow? Fredrich Neitchze? Britney Spiers? Who, sacred warrior? Who?

Funny you should say that, coz it`s love that reminds me of jacko, espec the opening , reminds me of jam!!!

3121 is his most pop sounding record i think, so the comparisons to jacko are to be expected. Also , why is Neverland "extinct"?? Its still there and will remain there for a very long time.

out of the ones u mentioned
Jesus and Fredrich Neitsche
which i'm really glad you mentioned

this piece of his comes to mind
its called Flies in the Market Place
http://www.luminary.us/nz...a.html#A12

mayb ur familiar with it



MJ was the guy I had on my walls when I was younger
I loved that guy to absolute death
but he's a perfect example of how fame can totally warp a persons sense of stability
its so sad
dangerous?
Dangerously Naive

and when that naivety and self-absorption completely took him over
he dun lost the plot
of course - all the parasites didnt help any
in fact they probably caused most of it


alls im really sayin is that when you got guys out there
who act like they want to be taken seriously
who are obviously serious about their own careers
but then blow it completely with contradiction after contradiction
for whatever reason
is that mindful people find it a little hard
to take them seriously

they become bits of pop fluff
for people to laugh at
make jokes about
sneer at

and its all totally self-inflicted

it'd b nice if all their 'fans' had the compassion it takes
to understand their loopiness
but they dont
and these guys gotta realise that

what they are doing is not about them
its supposed to be about music

thats just my take on it anyway

I appreciate ur candid insight. X

sacredwarrior said:

And I appreciate you taking the time to answer my rabid inqusition. Jesus and Neitchze were hardly on the same page, though.

Number23 said:

yeah lol they are kinda like polar opposites .
interesting huh ?
x

sacredwarrior said:

Oh, everything's interesting. That's why people get bored.

Number23 said:

really?

at least the women Prince fucks, are at least 18 n over.

IAintTheOne said:

yeah...and not still in elementary school, eating paste n'shit.

IAintTheOne said:

I wouldn't bet your life on that one

heff heff heff

And they don't wear Peter Pan underoos either.

and the walls of Prince's mental prison close in even further ..

sacredwarrior said:

It's funny you mention that because this was actually the original cover of 3121...



But seriously, I get what you mean and agree wholeheartedly that 3121 sounds very Michaelish. I played the "whose gonna save us when the spiders get next to you etc." bit from "The Word" to a friend and she said, "is this Jacko?" I've always thought Prince gets Michael inspired from time to time (e.g. "Thieves In The Temple" video)

omg face down just like michael

FunkyBrotha said:

Yeah, it's quite 'pop' in places which compares with MJ's take on 'pop'. However, MJs done it to death whereas Prince doing it is refreshing to hear. I mean, I like MJ but he's been repeating the same grooves, yelps and human beatbox for a long time now.

Neverland is 'extinct' because just the other day the authorities moved in to shut it down, as the employees insurance hasn't been paid:

That's a horrible thing to say!!! Even the worst Prince album is head and shoulders above anything that transvestite paedophile drug addict could muster

sacredwarrior said:

LOL thanks for the laughs!

Somewhat JEALOUS? I'd understand that...

SenseOfDoubt said:

of?

sacredwarrior said:

... of the fact that P has a new album.

SenseOfDoubt said:

no. wasnt talking about the music .
is this gunna turn into an inquiry?

sacredwarrior said:

yes, SPANISH INQUISITION was never gone... lol

SenseOfDoubt said:

oh I like Te Amo Corazon even though I havent heard that either
