Whofuk is prince?

Long before Al Gore became the bullhorn for global warming and environmental issues, Prince had attempted to raise awareness of self-sustaining living. Where Al Gore’s motivations may not have been completely altruistic—after all, there is a Democratic Party benefit to someone who campaigns for causes that are in stark contrast to some of the more seedy policies of the Clear Skies act, his contrived attempts to bring them to light did actually cause some dialogue. It’s just that Al isn’t really quite as commanding as Prince on stage. Moreover, Al Gore’s relatively less-than-uplifting persona simply dulls the message of what he’s trying to convey…He’s just not likeable, and his message, though worthy of a bit of attention, is mired in political mumbo jumbo.

Prince on the other hand, had gone through a spiritual rebirth during the 90s, and this lead to a new sense of consciousness. He stopped cursing (Tipper would be so proud of him if her tin-case of a frame only had a heart), he started supporting causes to prevent cruelty towards animals, and he started to live a life more in line with a quazi-hippie-meets-JW-mish-mash of spirituality. Discounting the environmental toll that his hair relaxers, mac makeup, and trips (unproven) to the plastic surgeon must of wreaked on our fragile planet, Prince was actually quiet pious towards his newly embraced quazi-religious green revolution.

But, this rebirth of the flesh so to speak had affects on his artistic statements post-release. That is to say, his older material was rearranged and changed on stage to match his new found beliefs. This is both expected (and not out of line with what Prince has always done), and a bit …unnerving.

“23 scriptures and a one night stand.”

Really? 23 scriptures and a one night stand? And what exactly does that even mean? Are we expected to believe that somehow 23 scriptures applies to a one-off fucky-sucky moment? Are we supposed to believe that somehow, a song titled “Gett Off” can actually spiritually uplift us? I just don’t know.

If one thing has proven true throughout the years, it’s that Prince is obsessed with ass and vaginas. I mean, OBSESSED. Little Red Corvette, girl U got an ass like I’ve never seeeeeeeennn….. Now move yo big ass round this way ….. She had the cutest ass he ever seen…he did too, they were meant to be….

It’s not hard to imagine Prince’s early life being a buffet of ass…. Shiela E., Vanity, Cat, Mayte, Morris & Jerome…Prince has plundered many a hole in search of the holey and profain. And he’s attempted to mix his ass with his spirit as well. LoveSexy is really nomore than an attempt to mix TONS of ass with TONS of spirit. Shit, I’d call that album SpiritAss if based soley on content. But it was done right.

Reenventing to past with spiritual updates to songs that don’t actually lend themselves to such is just not advisable.

Would Eazy E say, “I like sweet black scriptures, on my script? Word to the mother Teresa DJ Quick?”… No! Because it’s sweat delicious black pussies on his dick,…Not armaeic/greek/Hebrew texts written by sexually frustrated old men on his penis.

What gets me is that Prince has been so fascinatingly good at times with allegory, that I don’t understand why he doesn’t just employ that with his catalogue. I wouldn’t mind something like, “23 expressions and a happy ending” or something to that affect. At least it still remains true to the original intent without the strangely dreaded curse words. Just a dose of allegory and we could have Darlin Nikkie again. Why couldn’t he just replace “I met her in a hotel lobby masturbating with a magazine” with “I met her in a hotel lobby asphyxiating a chicken holding an issue of Bon Appetite with one hand.” People, I’m telling you, that SHIT WORKS.

Look, Prince may have found a new religion. And he may be a respectable musican now, but you better bet your ass he’s looking for an opportunity to get you both naked underneath the sheets…even if you peeked underneath to reveal that at his age, the liver spotted skin on his buttcheeks is starting to resemble that on his testicles; but that’s a subject for its own thread, really.

The fact of the matter is this: Your past happened. It’s up to you whether you want to remember the past or not. But reinventing it publically when other people lived it with you is strange. Either leave those songs alone and truly move on, or go back to the songs on stage, but don’t be so clumbsy lyrically about it—23 scriptures indeed!

So to wrapup, we’ve discussed Prince, all things anal, Al Gore, and allegory, and how each is related to the other in Paisley Park.

Thank you, and I’d love your input.

Prince, Anal Stimulation, Steve Jobs and Secrecy

Prince is secretive. There is no doubt about this. I’m not sure if this works in his favor or against, but it certainly makes his music more alluring at times.

But lyrically, he’s also amazingly candid. While Micheal Jackson was singing “Say Say Say what you want to say” you bet your ass Prince was doing just that; with lyrics like “I sincerely want to fuck the taste out of your mouth.” Could you imagine Prince's peers saying that? Madonna wasn’t even using lyrics that daring. Of course, it would be technically difficult for Madonna to do such a thing, lacking a penis herself unless she were to pull a 'Rosie O’donnel' kinky strap-on type of thing--but, singing those kind of high concept lyrics off can loose an audience, and Madonna was all about having a big audience.

Prince, on the other hand, during the 80’s, didn’t really care if he was selling records or not. Rather, he had something to say, and he said it. He’s wildly innovative lyrics allowed us to ponder both the spiritual and the anal. The holy and the profane. The church of the divine, and the temple of vagina. And he wasn’t going to give to flying fucks if Rolling Stone magazine recommended you buy his record or not.

Where Madonna was the flamboyant slut , boasting about her conquests, Prince was like the quiet little nympho that would pull your knickers and panties down, rip that punani apart, and run off wearing the afore mentioned knickers and panties. This. man. was. fierce.

In many ways he’s kind of like Steve Jobs, the CEO of Apple Co. Jobs is wildy innovative, prone to strange and frightening temper tantrums, and very prolific with new ideas. Owning far less market share than Microsoft (we can think of them as Madonna), Apple’s products are if anything, more innovative and higher in quality on average. Like Prince, if you’ve come into contact with Jobs, it’s likely you’ve been fucked hard. These men are both extremely driven.
But lastly, they are both secretive. Jobs has been known to leak false information and to withhold information from his own staff about upcoming products. The secrecy upon which they all work is astounding. One doesn’t have to think too hard to see the parallels with Apple and Paisley park.

The difference between Prince and Jobs though is that the secrecy around Apple builds up anticipation because Apple consistently delivers new and innovative products. It becomes a game to wonder what new features they’ll ull.

Prince has gone from innovation to a sort of cruise control. Albeit, his newest offering lotusflow3r is highly regarded, and in my opinion joining the ranks of some of his top 10 albums, his secrecy over the website and such didn’t help him in this case. This is due to the fact that when new Prince releases we literally have no clue if we’ll receive a quality product anymore.

Although I feel it hurts him by records sales, I have to admit, I like the fact that with Prince you never really know if genius is around the corner, or if he’s gonna drop something as ugly as a bucket of assholes. You just never know.

One thing is for sure; Prince takes chances.

Prince, Anal Stimulation, Sperm, and denial of the mutually exclusive forces of sex and God.

Prince is a genius. Forever will he be defined as a genius. There is no stupid slip up over gay-marriage, women’s rights, or self-describe slavery, that will ever dampen the fact that he is a musical force to be contended with now and for many future generations to come.


But long before the eagle eye of his lyrics turned to corporate manipulation of the record industry or the evils and perils of straying from God’s will in a dogmatic sense, Prince’s genius also expressed itself lyrically.

Where the rest of the world sought to make distinctions between the divine and the profane as diametrically opposed values, the Prince of the 80s said they were part of the same sexual-God energy. He even coined a phrase for it--LoveSexy.

The current day Prince may appear to be the preacher who summons God’s will through his preaching, but the old Prince was the preacher’s daughter who still believed in god, but snook out of the house every chance she got so she could give you some seriously mad-crazy cock suckin fun behind the skating rink on a Saturday night--But you knew damned well she’d be wiping her chin and hands clean at church the next morning without so much as one ounce of guilt. You go girl!!!! Or should I say, you go Prince!!!

In songs like , Get Off where Prince said, “Move you big ass ‘round this way so can work on the zippa baby![/i], Prince wasn’t saying it just for sake of shock value. Indeed in the chorus to this booty-lovin athem, Prince says “Let a woman B a woman and a Man B a man!”--he’s not just saying it as a matter of sexual preference. He’s talking about Gods divine design for male and female--don’t drown in guilt over it. Don’t be repressive to it. Revel in it, but in a mature, respectful way. He’s talking about a pecking order handed down from Jesus W. H. Christ himself. What Prince is saying is that the sexual play, so long as it is consentual and uplifting, is very much in line with God’s plan for men and women. He even states “I’ll only call you after if you say I can” bringing home the point that all things should be consensual and mutually respectful--but at the end of the day, it’s perfectly ok to bury your trimmed beard and typhoon do in some seriously delicious ass.

Not even sperm excaped Prince’s determination to bring together the supposed opposing forces of sex and the Divine. In Glam Slam Prince says, “Cum a butterfly straight on your skin. You go for me and come again!”. Again, this is not Prince being nasty to just be nasty. He’s trying to point out how spiritually uplifting sex can be if it’s done in a loving, non-selfish manner. In a sense, one could even picture that their skin is the church, and sperm is holy water--showering you with spiritual energy.


I know this quazi-philosophical elements may be too much for some, and to others, a bit amateurish and not well thought-out. But like John Lennon’s Imagine the beauty and genius of his lyrics isn’t in how well thought out they are, but in their idealistic purity--in their...dare I say it, Innocence.


And if that doesn’t make your butthole pucker up, and your hands reach towards heaven at the same time, I don’t know what will.


Viva la Prince!

connorhawke, your signature makes about laugh for days every single time I read it

I think we could start one of those money gathering webpages to support Imago writing the definitive Prince book with expressive photos, charts, scratch n sniff, and diagrams.

Thanks. I don't think I'll ever lose it. It should be a book.

On a completely related note, flickr has converted all my gifs to jpg. Not happy.

Same here. Sometimes I'll end up looking through them and wonder about possible tenuous links in current threads I can use to work them in there. There aren't many things in my life I'm more proud of.

It's just about the greatest thing ever written on the org. It's an impossible sequence of pure, distilled hilarity.

And what makes it better is it was completely and utterly hearfelt.

what thread did she post it on though?

I really need to know!

The fabric was heart felt? I didn't know there was such a thing.

dude, you created an identical thread in the correct forum?

Yes, there is. It's made from the heart valve walls of Prince's ex girlfriends Tame has stalked and murdered.

Dan, I have absolutely no idea. One of the many vomit-inducing pillow-hugging teen angst fests of devotion. I wish I knew too.

Tame wasn't one of Dan's alters?

You've crossed the line there! For comparing me to someone who doesn't even flirt with reality, I can never forgive or respect your point of view!

However, I would still gladly sleep with you.

You've got it all wrong. It's a measure of how brilliant I think you are that I believe you could pull the Tame alter off for years and not slip up. That's some Kaiser Sozay genius shit right there.

I will gladly explain this to you further when we sleep together.
