But all I see in here are interpretations and allegations because NO ONE was actually there to witness it. All I see is personal interpretations about things written in the media like you were there and witnessed it all. Reading an article or watching tv doesn't make you a connaisseur. It's almost pathetic to see how certain people in here still try to get into his bedroom. The man is dead. Period. No one's spoken to him personally, so nobody knew him. So nobody can interpret what was serious, what was just fooling around and what was upholding his image. And for those having issues with P's attitude and waving the bannner of women's liberation and/or emancipation. Stop being on the barricades. You're in the wrong online community and certainly on the weong message board. You will see once you reach intellectual maturity. Oh, really? Well I didn't have the slightest interest in getting into his bedroom as it was a bit crowded already. And just because a woman (myself included) would find it a turn off that any man was having sex with multiple partners over the same time period is hardly "pathetic". Dont get preachy. The whole anonymous message board aggression tactic like your remark about intellectual maturity is so tiresome. [Edited 9/13/16 8:44am] It's a hurtful place, the world, in and of itself. We don't need to add to it. We all need one another. ~ PRN | |

This. I believe that this is likely very true and yet many of us think we will be "the one" who will change that. It's happened over and over forever it seems, not just with Prince but people everywhere. Prince grew up when I did...we dated people, played the field, not with just one but as many as we wanted to date. Nowadays, people think they have to tie each other up in a "relationship" after the first date! Ridiculous, my dating days were just wonderful, I loved going out and having a good time with different guys, there was always something exciting to look forward to because they were all different from each other. I wouldn't change any of that for anything! I'd be bored to death if I was in my late teens, 20's, maybe into 30's now. Oh, you looked at me????? Okay, now you're MINE and you can't see anyone else!!!!!! [Edited 9/14/16 13:00pm] Welcome to "the org", Mumio…they can have you, but I'll have your love in the end  | |

Also, to me 'Rainbow Children' is one of his most revolutionary moves. Truly, game changing music. But don't listen too closely to the lyrics - which, poetry aside, are repugnant. I remember Alan Leeds wrote an on point article about this at the time. Anyone got a link? |

Just tried to listen to it today. Absolutely beautiful musical compositions. Could not take the 'spooky voice' at all. What makes it even harder is that he bled that voice into songs I'd LOVE to put into my own personal compilations. Can't get past it. Welcome home class. We've come a long way. - RIP Prince |

I have no problem at all with the voice over stuff. It's the content behind the poetry, which is sexist and narrow minded. Beneath him. |

Prince was no different than any other rock star when it came to women, so that didn't bother me so much. The religion got a little too preachy for me..don't get me wrong I believe in God and Jesus is totally cool with me..but..u do u and I'll do me..Thanks but no thanks
..Hello, who is it?
Yes, this is a prettyman, Princey! | |

His homophobia and lack of acceptance twoards gay and lesbian fans. This ties in too with his adherence to extreme evangelical Christianity (Hate and money church dogma). Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name | |

A few years ago I would have said something similar but now I'm not so sure he was homophobic. There were a few songs he did that could be seen as being quite open minded with regards the sexualitiy of others, even in his later life. Listen to the lyrics of Live Out Loud. Obviously, like a lot of Prince songs, they're open to interpretation but I don't think they came from a homophobe. Likewise, his affiliation with Janelle Monae, who must be at least bi. He was also very friendly towards Ellen when he was on her show. If he was truly homophobic, he wouldn't have done these things. | |

I hate gum, the sight and sound of it. I'm not sure that he completely stopped chewing it because he loved that wacky stuff, but I didn't notice it for years.  What? | |

Back in the day I have to say I kinda agreed with the reporters view about him being so evasive: . http://www.newsnet5.com/news/news-archives/throwback-thursday-in-the-video-vault-bodyguard-for-prince-attacks-wews-cameras-at-agora-in-1984

The man was not properly exposed to suitable women.
He deserved better, and they were out there.
But not within reach of his class of handlers.
SUCKS.
