Why All The Hate

After reading some of the comments about Prince's interview on Tavis, I noticed that some of you have come close to calling Prince an idiot. Some of you believe that Prince is only smart when it comes to his music and ignorant about every other aspect of his life. I'm sorry but Prince would not have gotten this far in hs life and career being a dummy. There have been a lot of talented musicians who hve fizzled out because thats all they knew. Why can't some of you just disagree with his views on religion and politics without attacking his intellect?
Prince believes he is a musical prophet that has been chosen by Jehova to guide his fans to the "truth".

Prince does have some fucked up shit going on in his mellon. That isn't hate, it's just an observation.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

when people listen to prince speak and then assume that he's an idiot, it's probably very similar to the way you read various posts here at the org and then assume that those people hate prince.

i think one difference between the two examples of people making assumptions is that someone posting at the org can talk back to you and say that they don't hate prince, while prince basically just says what he says. i don't think prince would try to argue with you or tell you that you're wrong about him.

Prince isn't wholly informed and needs to debate with those who do not share his views, that's all. Quoting a conspiracy theorist and non-scientist to validate chem trails (!?) is intellectual suicide. Also, seeking to inject religious morality into politics is just misguided (and a little reactionary). After all, what kind of morality is he talking about exactly? Only in the bible to do you get the warrants for genocide, racism and slavery. Think it through Prince, please!

I agree, 'There have been a lot of talented musicians who hve fizzled out because thats all they knew' , you can include Prince in this catagory now.
Prince didnt climb to the top by himself, he's had a ton of help...mainly
the most important people he 'left behind'...in search of his 'religion and fate'. LOL!....$$$$$, sorry could'nt resist!

In a lot of ways Prince clearly is, at best, seriously misguided, at worst, well, an idiot.

Usually you get a musical shield that tempers the idiocy, but occasionally, i.e. the Tavis program, The idiocy is on show for everyone to see. ....with no protection. It's like looking at the face of the sun!

TBH I find it funny; and reconcile this behaviour as being part and parcel with being a musical genius.

Genius' though-out the ages have all been whack-jobs.

...@ least that's his excuse..... nutty

A lot of pots calling the kettle black here..

In my opinion.

(..and I don't agree with everything I saw tonight either, but to react in ways that I've seen here, is very bad.)


The years of not doing interviews seem to be showing..

That's about it.

hummmnnn, let's see:

Prince spends his time making love and music, travelling the world with good friends, looks great and lives in a beautiful home in one of the most sought after locations in the world.

You, spend your time on the internet, playing with yourself, talking about and wishing you were Prince.

9 out of 10 mortals agree that it's not Prince that's the idiot; its you.

Wow, great guess. That's me to a T! You're not a clairvoyant by any chance?

Hey let's see how good you are; what am I wearing? (....I'll give you a hint. My ass cheeks are getting a little cold.)

you stopped coming on prince forums? when? you've been doin this back and forth stuff for a while now. I mean okay you're not a hater because there are some things Prince has done you like but to keep pushing the "WE're NOT HATERS WE JUST EXPRESS OUR VIEWS" attitude is just as tired as the "WHY ALL THE HATE" folks. why even waste your time you've clearly shown your feelings and where you're coming from. just sayin doesn't it get old for you?

I'll tell you why...

Because "most" of the people on here need vindication for feeling and thinking the way they do; and they seek it through Prince. It's called idol worship, and it's the very thing that Prince himself has warned against.

Famous or not, Prince is just a man like half of us. He is entitled to the same rights and liberties as the rest of us. Sure, we spend our hard earned money to gain access to his art, but NO ONE is holding a gun to our head when we do. Yes, we are entitled to your opinion, but most on here (and elsewhere) are incapable of exchanging productive dialogue, as well as the kind of constructive criticism that P. himself spoke of on Tavis' show.

So what you end up getting are pseudo-intellectuals who try and justify their opinion with a pitiful attempt at sounding profound. Of course this doesn’t apply to everyone… But it does apply to many; and they know who they are.
