I find it curious that he was reading/read a book about Osama bin Laden, he never professed to have much interest in politics, didn't vote, never commented on 9/11... Just seems a curious choice and like it really sticks out among all the other titles

I don't know, I think he kind of did, through the music:

• Ronnie talk to Russia before its 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
• How you gonna make me kill somebody I don’t even know... You're gonna have to fight your own damn war 'Cause we don't wanna fight no more
• Does anybody hear us pray For Michael Brown or Freddie Gray? Peace is more than the absence of war
  
• A sister killed her baby 'cause she couldn't afford to feed it and yet we're sending people to the moon
  
• I was born and raised on the same plantation In the united states of the red, white and blue I never knew that I was different Till Dr. King was on the balcony lying in a bloody pool
  
• It's time for new education the former rules don't apply we need a power structure that breeds productionInstead of jacks who vandalize
  
• Upload: a 2-party system The lesser of 2 dangers Illusion of choice Download: a veiled form of fascism Nothing really ever changes U never had a voice
  
• Everybody’s got a bomb. We could all die any day.
  
• Tax dollars build a plane drop a bomb
  Supposedly to keep us all safe from Saddam
  

Awesome...he was definitely interested in politics and admitted to watching news all the time

• Section one, the fourteenth Amendment says:
  No state shall deprive any person
  Of life, liberty, or property
  Without due process of law
  
• Ain't no point in voting. Same song with a different name

Obviously the latter is the most true statement

I totally agree about the 2 party system. Interesting quote from a Gemini. Still it's very weird to see the word fascism on a Prince poster.

As far as voting, no. Where we are in the US right now is from people not voting. The perfect IS the enemy of the good.

PERFECTLY stated.

He had a wide eclectic mix there! I had to laugh at the title "Someone to eat cheese With", I have never heard of that, lol.

Nicely eclectic movie tastes. But his book choices look depressingly iffy. They're wacky, underground bunker, conspiracy, maniacal drawing books. Stuff that would definitely NOT get a man laid.

Sorry, you're wrong. You would be surprised how many sexual people are into "wacky, conspiracy, underground bunker" stuff. Not to mention, that Prince could sit and count to 20 and recite the alphabet and somebody would want to sex him; afro, socks with flip-flops, eyeliner and all

I have neither the time nor inclination to untangle your sloppy response. What I do know, though, is that you completely pulled it out your ass.

“Genesis 6 Giants” by Steve Quayle was in his briefcase/travel bag

A few batshit crazy woo books there, disappointingly.

What rhymes with minnesota? Hmmmm.... let me see.... ah yes.... Purple Yoda.

Purple Yoda,
junk drink soda,
gift card holder,
when I'm older,
let's be bolder,
drink turned colder,
find a folder,
no hard shoulder.

Somewhat elegiac.

i heard one of the most obvious things was a vhs of elvis' 68 special, i always claimed that he was a huge elvis fan although most people couldn't see it.

P was a musician and a performer. Of course he would've appreciated Elvis.

I dont like Elvis that much but even I have greatest Hits CD's and Live performances, for musical educational purposes.
.

He covered Elvis songs over the years so he had some sort of influence on him.
