He might change fuck to funk in which I wouldnt mind. Maybe then i wouldnt feel so dirty listening to it and I could actually be able to sing the whole song without having a guilty conscience.

lol Haha, I hope you are not serious with this!

If so, I really feel sorry for you. There is no need to feel dirty, fucking is just a basic need like eating and having a house. Nothing to feel guilty about.

Yeah, it's just a word. It has only as much power (positive or negative) as you give to it.

There are NO bad words. No such thing. wink

Erotic City wasn't on any of the albums so it would be very easy to omit. Plus it already got a Bsides compilation and Girl 6 soundtrack release, so he could probably avoid it altogether if he wanted.

.

Or he can just add in a disclaimer to the packaging that he's not endorsing extramarital sex.

I was brought up religious and struggled a lot with sexuality too. I also felt bad about it, but I have come to realise since that sexuality is nothing "dirty" or "bad". It is (one of) the most beautiful and most satisfying experience(s) humans can have, and a completely natural thing. I'd like to say to all (young) people to enjoy your sexuality, I have come to believe that whatever your sexual prefences are: just go out and enjoy it without feeling bad about yourself! Paedophilia not included though, I am talkig about consenting adults.

You try too hard to be negative. Give it a rest.

As for omitting songs, I willl be VERY VERY VERY suprised if he does. He's said many time that he's content with his past. Tavis Smiley and Arsenio interviews are a few that come to mind where he talks about it.

I got two sides... and they're both friends.

Expect some PGfication or omissions of raunchier non-album tracks, and pray he's contractually obligated to leave the album as is save for improved sound. He did it for Sexy MF, radio edit, he's done it for Electric Intercourse in concerts and of course lots of other songs had changed lyrics live, it's reasonable to expect he'll try to omit or censore some songs if he can, but to be honest he hasn't been that big a deal -- it's the music that makes the whole thing "dirty", whatever that is.

Not to feed the OP's troll bait but 4 those of u who actually care, let's remember that prince said in 2010, when he lied about getting his albums back after 30 years and having remastered everything up to 1984, he mentioned how great Erotic City sounded once remeastered. So sure the whole interview was full of shit and that doesn't mean he wouldn't remaster it and censor the profanities at the same time but come on... I'm gonna "I told u so" to death when the PR remaster comes out, untouched, uncensored. To DEATH.

Throwaway track? Who said that? It's one of his classics. I said Prince has reissued the single version twice, so based on that he might rationalize leaving it off a PR reissue. In your heart of hearts do you envision yourself holding Purple Rain with the Erotic City 12" version included on the track listing? Are you riding a unicorn with speakers built into the rump, at the same time?

.

"The least he could do"? On what planet does Prince think he owes fans anything?

I think main tracks on each album he cannot change/omit otherwise he risks upsetting the fans, but who knows about the bonus/unreleased stuff he might include?

.

He could monitor that alot more and hand pick what he will allow.

From The New 20th Anniversary Purple Rain Box Set:

New opening lyrics to Darling Nikki:

"I knew a girl named Nikki, I guess u could say she was pretty mean.

I met her in a hotel lobby, she was reading a magazine.

She said "how'd u like 2 waste some time?' and I could not resist when I heard little Nikki whine"

biggrin biggrin

Wouldn't it totally suck if he did something like that?

Like when he changed "The Cross" to "The Christ" in concerts and then rambled on stupidly about Jesus being impaled instead of crucified.

Let's hope he has some distance from Larry Graham and that WB has some input and won't let him do anything stupid, like change lyrics to classic songs.

It would be easy for Prince to omit it. I'm not WB or Prince, but I get how you could mistake me for both.

.

Apologies to you and your pet unicorn, but I doubt you're getting the full version either way.

how is this a bait thread??

How many threads did we get (all of them locked) about this since the remaster has been announced? 3? 5?

It's been discussed to death in every thread about the PR remaster and the only purpose of creating such threads is to try to grab prince's attention, hoping he reads this forum and naively believing that he's gonna change his plans (had he any, which I don't believe) to censor his remasters to please the fans.

Threads beating dead horses = bait.

Threads trying to grab prince's attention = bait.

Nothing new and nothing interesting to add to this forum save purposeless speculation about something we don't know anything about and can't do anything about.

If prince releases the masters censored I'll b the first one to say how outraged I am and to call boycott of the release. Until then this is bait and trolling, sorry.

Peace.
