There was an article/post like this about a year ago. I believe it was prior to April 21st 2016, but it could have been after(when everyone was trying to use his name to get traction for their 'writing' career... where the 'author' was trying to push Prince's Under the Cherry Moon as a significant movie of 'homosexual love' or something like that. And the person was really reaching, and not putting anything together to bring their thesis together.

.

The author here, doesn't seem to be 'really familiar with Prince's work.
.
To title #2. Prince highlighted issues of race and supported the Black Lives Matter Movement.

and then post lyrics/songs from 1995and 2009, is just extreme reaching.
.
Similiarly, when Questlove(huge Prince fan) tried to say "Prince is Hip Hop". I would think someone who is this deep into Prince would not try to lock Prince into a genre that he clearly resisted, did not get and made fun of for a period of time. He should know Prince music is 'purple music' period. Questlove was reaching... but I digress.

ok, um really?

The song definately fits with a New Wave rebellious drive... and definately fits in his Bohemian Apocalyptic world vision. But hardly doing what the author is saying. And it is still one of my fav to listen to.

. Prince used his songs to speak on serious social issues.

Prince called out President Ronald Reagan’s foreign policies and America’s involvement in the Cold War in his 1981 song, “Ronnie Talk To Russia.”

Ronnie talk to Russia before it's too late
Before it's too late
Before it's too late
Ronnie talk to Russia before it's too late
Before they blow up the world
You go to the zoo, but you can't feed guerrillas
Can't feed guerrillas
Left-wing guerrillas
You can go to the zoo, but you can't feed guerrillas
Who want to blow up the world

Ronnie if you're dead before I get to meet ya
Before I get to meet ya
Before I get to meet ya
Ronnie if you're dead before I get to meet ya
Don't say I didn't warn ya

Ronnie talk to Russia before it's too late
Before it's too late
Before it's too late
Ronnie talk to Russia before it's too late
Before they blow up the world
Before they blow up the world
Don't ya blow up my world
Don't you blow up my world

How Prince Became An Enduring Political Symbol

It is a nice gesture, but Prince:An Enduring Political Symbol, is not realistic.

Prince right now is still a hot topic, and coming up to the anniversary of his death, well see more 'props' to Prince, even if they don't really highlight or enlighten his artistic career.

Seriously? I just learned 2 things.

1: some1 really wrote an article saying UTCM was basically a homosexual film? I mean I've heard the debates of what Tricky and Christopher's relationship was in that movie but I never heard that some ppl think it's a full out gay film. Even if it was who cares, but it isn't.

and 2; that Quest said Prince is hip hop. I don't even know how 1 comes 2 that conclusion when P spent his whole career making the point that he play's whatever he wanted and didn't want any genre/labels put on him.

Personally I don't think P can be called a "Political Symbol". I think it's more that this person used P's name 2 push an article that would get attention 4 their self. P didn't like labels. Period. It seems this person is projecting their own beliefs on P. IMHO

yeah people project or overemphasize things that concern them the most

I have to find that thread about UTCM
