Do you think Prince comes across as a miserable, annoying person these days?

Honestly?

Especially in concert I find him a bit preachy and he does seem to talk down to people (if they don't share his opinions or philosophies) through a lot of his work these days. Am i alone in this opinion?

Kind of bugs me, do we really need education from someone who is only a musician/performer when all is said and done?

It's not only Prince that is guilty of this. i love him to pieces, but he surely needs to realise the majority of fans are just here for the music.

So what if we like chicken, drinking or the occasional smoke? confused

He doesnt come across as miserable to me. And fo' damn sure not annoying
We do need education from some people some time. Whether musician or not. He is still a person. And we can all learn from one another

My opinion

really? i tend not to have a problem with one expressing their beliefs. you could either listen or ignore it. I could listen and not believe it.
i never felt he was talking down to me. i'm very anemic so i have to include meat in my diet so when he starts talking that stuff, i don't get offended, i just ignore it.

he was preachy for like 30 seconds in Vegas earlier this summer....talking about Jehovah, The Devil, Sin City.....etc. which gave me the idea that he might be coming here to save us sinners or something....on a mission perhaps?
but it was only like 30 seconds and the rest of the show was awesome

Not annoying. Conscious. batting eyes
The man still got the groove, and I'd love to hear him preach all day, all night.

He can't force anything on anybody. I think the people who complain about him and then still come to his websites and complain are really the miserable, annoying ones!

he probably made a deal with his kingdom hall, that if he preaches for 30 secs
he won't have to do his door to door routineslol

But Prince doesn't force his beliefs on anyone. People do have a choice whether or not to see him if his preachiness bothers them that much.

No I don't. He seems rather happy to me.

The miserable annoying ones are those that can't show the man who has given so much of himself to us through his incredible music, just a little bit of compassion and tolerance because they're too narrow-minded, short-sighted and selfish to see past their own insecurities. hrmph

Did you go to the Celebration, when the rainbow children was out?
I did...
the man was insane!
sure it was fun, i didn't take him seriously
but the things he said were so.... primitive....
i mean a belief in god is one thing, but this dude would be happy if their was a JW caste system in the world,

but i still respect his opinion, no matter how wacked out it could be,
but he def was trying to force christian propaganda back when TRC was going on
not with TRC persay, but at the celebration,
he had a *jesus is lord, let em deal with it* kinda attitude

I did not.

But were you forced to attend the celebration? Once you were there, did he strap you down and force you listen to his preaching?

Prince is a miserable prick, even more so these days.
News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so.

Prince has always been preachy, just not always preachy about the same things. He seems to change his mind a lot, and when he does he gets stuck on the idea like he's found the Holy Grail...until the next idea strikes his fancy, anyway.

I don't pay it a whole lot of attention, mostly. shrug
