the CON thing

We all know mr Prince has thing thing against a CONtract.

But what about CONfidence, CONnection, etc?

Does mr Prince lack these? Or does he feel unsure about these?

It was probably just some silly nonsense he had picked up from Larry G.

I mean, this "CON" nonsense wouldn't have even made any sense when these concepts were thought up, most definately in a language other than English.

Reminds me of the Larry King interview. Prince started the CON-babbling, and Larry King asked him if he had a contract with the payperview-channel that would air the "rave un2 the year 2000" concert. The look on prince's face was priceless.

Here's a transcript of the interview:

http://tonio.lagoule.free.fr/prince_interview_larry_king1999.html

"KING: But you want people to tune in New Year's Eve. You would like to have a lot of people call In Demand and order to see you. You're want -- you are an artist, you want to be seen.

THE ARTIST: Yes, but if it's an auditing situation where I don't know how many people are actually tuning in, it's not something I can control. They can actually say anything to me, right?

KING: Correct. And you go -- you have to go -- trust?

THE ARTIST: Oh, that's why contracts don't work. They're not based in trust.

KING: Do you therefore -- have you lost, even as a spiritual person, lost trust in people?

THE ARTIST: Oh, no, no. I have lost trust in contracts. I don't believe in contracts.

KING: Do you have a contract for the pay-per-view night? Or a shaking hand, or...

THE ARTIST: I'm not certain. I can go check, but..."

the CON element of those words doesn't mean the same thing

we know that prince looks at dictionaries, as there is one in one of the 90s tv shows

you can't simply take similar letters at the start of different words and apply them to having the same meaning

what prince thinks is what he thinks, but you can google up the meaning of those words and look them up in dictionaries and look at latin meanings and you will see the first three letters can be unrelated

I CONdem this nonsense unCONditionally. It CONtains absolutely no validity and should be CONsigned to the trash where it can CONverse with all the used CONdoms and other such CONtents.
