Lovesexy concert snippit. I don't think Prince.org ever publised this, since it came from 1988. This is a snippet describing a scene at the LA Lovesexy show. It was written for Rock and Rap Confidential,. Strangely, it is what Prince used to stand for spiritually, unlike the hard-line preacher of today.
"DRAGGIN' THE LINE... It was just before intermission at Prince's November 6 show at the Los Angeles Sports Arena. The band was moving through "Anna Stesia" when Prince stepped to the mike and began preaching forcefully, describing his need to finish the show on a different plane than the sexually-charged first half. "You know, God isn't going to come down out of the sky and make things right for you You've got to get things ready for Him. You've got to make things right so God will want to come out and play...Now, put your hand over your heart. Look inside yourself. God is in there." Softly playing a guitar figure of almost unbearable beauty, Prince paused, then said: "Take your hand away. Let him out." Then, almost whispering, "Cross the line, Los Angeles, cross the line."  All you others say Hell Yea!!  | |

I was at this show but don't remember this! Each show he slightly varied the "sermon". How can people say ONA is a better tour. There never will be anything like that tour again. (I hope not!) | |

So what are you saying now? That was 1988. Prince has gone through alot since then marriage,death of a child,his parents deaths,loss of friends. Where it was the Happy Free-Spirited Preaching now Heavy Duty Preaching? What are you getting at now? What point do you wanna raise? Cause I can discuss things for a long time. Are we gonna talk about his music also? The topics? | |

Yeah, I remember that. He also said "now put your hand in your pocket and give me all your money". Just like these days, just incredible. Ha! | |
