I think the Prince Jedi Question is Valid

Why would you lock that?

The question completely fits in with the Prince mythology--Temptation, The Black Album & Lovesexy, Gemeni, The Symbol Album, The name change, etc...

I think Prince would have struggled with it, but ultimately chosen the light side--so far.

It's just a metaphor for good vs. evil. I think it's the same themes Prince has used, and both Star Wars & prince can be very cheesy & brilliant at times.

And I just don't understand why the other thread on the subject was locked. It's not hateful or offensive.

Right.....it wasn't hateful or offensive.

I guess maybe if it would have been worded w/out the Star Wars metaphor it wouldn't of been locked. Guess some people would view the thread as a waste of space.....

Yeah what is up? I see a hell of a lot more "stupid" topics being posted and left up. I've personally posted worse shit than that question. Locking it was a bit harsh. Of course, you knew I'd say that. Abuse of power anyone?

Prince would say that the days when he looked like a Romulan (93-97), he was a Sith Lord of the dark side, completely fallen, and then Larry (yoda) put him back on the noble path, and now he is a Jedi and can play guitar and keyboards at the same time.

It seems pretty straightforward:

Rules of the discussion forums:

    Don't post ... other junk.

....If you want to start a new thread, make it worthwhile. Don't be lazy and give a 1-sentence "what do you think about X?". At least explain your position, why, etc... make it interesting to read; you're more likely to get quality responses.

    Moderators have final say.

prince.org administrators and moderators reserve the right to edit, relocate and/or remove any message, at any time, for any reason. Consider all editing decisions final. If you don't agree with a decision, you may discuss it with the moderator who made the judgment in private. If you cannot reach resolution with the Moderator in private, contact the site administrator via e-mail (ben@prince.org), explaining the entire situation, with all relevant links/excerpts/emails, etc. Under no circumstance attempt to start a 'debate' about specific moderation decisions in a public forum.

I think you'll see if you read this thread that the question (dumb as it may seem) actually has relevance. They're 2 major forces (no pun intended) in pop culture that concern themselves with specialized religion, and the battle between good & evil. I don't think it's a coincidence Sam Jackson carried a purple lightsaber!

Perhaps I should have asked the Mod directly--I'll do that next time. But maybe the fact this second thread hasn't been locked is an answer of sorts.

And this thread attempts to do what the other thread didn't ... as suggested in the Rule:

"Don't be lazy and give a 1-sentence "what do you think about X?"... explain your position, why, etc... make it interesting to read; you're more likely to get quality responses."

Jedi Master Larry: A hit album you will make.

Padawan Prince: Ok I'll try.

Jedi Master Larry: No, do or do not. There is no try!

Padawan Prince: I have to go to the studio.

Jedi master Larry: A place of evil it is.

Padawan Prince: Whats in there?

Jedi Master Larry: Only what you take with you. So you better leave Kirky J out here. And by the way, I AM YOUR FATHER!

Larry: Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Russell, the judgmental?

Prince: ....No.

Larry: I thought not. It's not a story Wendy and Lisa would tell you.It's a JW legend. Darth Russell was a Dark Elder of the JW, so powerful and so wise he could use the dogma to influence the weak minded to create...fear. He had such a knowledge of the cult side he could even keep the ones he cared about from having fun.



Prince: He could actually....save people from fun?

Larry: The cult side of religion is a pathway to many beliefs some consider to be...retarded.

Prince: What happened to him?

Larry: He became so judgmental, the only thing he feared was being judged. Which of course he was. Unfortunately, he taught his disciple everything he knew, and then his disciple judged him in his sleep. Ironic, isn't it? He could judge others, but not avoid being judged himself.

Prince: Is it possible to learn this power?

Larry: ...Not from a free thinker.
