I am certain He is Elekey. When you're heart has been through every angle, and down every weary road,
And a miracle is you're only option, Believe.~T | |

nurseV said: Flowerz said: he has donated to an 'elephant' in the past.. dunno what he is now He donated something like 2k to Rudy Boswitch (a MN Republican senator) during his reelection campaign in 1990(?). I don't think Prince actually knew who the guy was. I think Boswitch just hit him up for a donation as a fellow Minnesotan. Prince took some of shit for it at the time but most people concluded that it was probably an accident on Prince's part and that he didn't actually know that Boswitch was republican. | |

that would be dumb and that's a mild statement If memory serves...Boswitch ran into Prince or Prince's people in Cali and introduced himself as a Minnesotan running for reelection. I think Prince just had his people cut him a check to make him go away without giving it much thought. I believe even Prince's publicist said it was an accident of sorts. Some people spray painted "Doves Cry 4 Boswitch" on Paisley Park as a protest to Prince's donation. [Edited 5/9/08 20:16pm] | |

All these years I´ve been thinking that the Boswitch donation had something to do with property tax laws and that Prince, as a resident of Chanhassen , somehow benefitted from that donation but I guess that info was just gossip. By the way, didn´t he also give a concert at Paisley Park in 1995 for a Democrat? I think Prince´s political views are everchanging, he´s a wild mix of a liberal, conservative, libertin, hippy and religiously conservative person.Remember that Ronald Reagan remark he made in the early 80s and his quite conservative patriotism from the mid80s to the mid 90s, which only changed in recent years ( after the Gold Experience days). | |

The Reagan quote is always taken out of context. In an interview (1980) he sarcastically talked about Americans liking Reagan because he had "bigger balls" and projected militarism and strength. P has always been anti-war and he viewed Reagan as the opposite. He responded to this misinterpretation in Paisley Park when he sang, "whoever said elephants were stronger than mules." It's interesting that since the misquote P has never talked specifically about electoral politics and prefers to comment on bigger themes like ideology. | |

Some people also suspected that Prince maybe mistook Rudy Boswitch for the "other Rudy" as in Rudy Perpich - a long time MN democrat who was also running for reelection (governor). I don't remember Prince holding a dem fund raising concert in 1995 at PP... But I think Prince's comments at Coachella about being "sick of debates" and "ready for a new golden era" speak to his current political views. | |

Dear Mr. Man was a swipe at the Bush administration IMO. So I would guess that he is Democrate or atleast leaning towards that way.

It's quite possible that he's neither a Republican nor a Democrat. You don't necessarily have to be one or the other.

He has an elephantine-ego, but usually behaves like a jackass. | |

I´m familiar with that lyric but I never knew that it was some sort of response to that misinterpretation. Thanks for the info | |

I would hope that Obama gets 99% of the Prince fanbase vote! Who would vote for McCain after 8 years of Bush misery? Open the floodgates! | |

based on his little speech during Come Together at Coachella , I'd say he's a donkey. | |
