66 yes
9 no
8 maybe

no i wont join but i wll visit .org to see what people are getting then i will assess situation.

No

YES

Doubtful.

I have done no complaining to anyone but I HAVE been analyzing the situation on my own, in my own mind, and it does not make sense to renew my membership.

While there is always room for improvement, I have been 100% satisfied!

actually i have to change my answer.

i'll explain, although i doubt anyone cares. i watched leno last week and the music was smoking, but i'm simply unable to get past the confusing religious babble pervading so much of prince's music these days. prince has reached a point where one plus one plus one is three, and there ain't no room to disagree. but i disagree.

and personally, i think the air in prince's room is stifling, it reeks of conformity, suppression and mindless adherence to rigid religious concepts. it stinks of fear

i tried not to let my philosophical differences get in the way of my enjoyment of his music but there's no way i can do that anymore. receiving TRC again, in the form of the ONA live, has reminded me of how much i dislike the lyrifcs on this album. i have to skip half the songs on the ONA live CD in order not to be seriously disturbed by the lyrics.

i need room to disagree. i need to NOT be subjected to a senseless 'theocratic order'. i need to know that my church fellows won't be waiting for me to 'sin' then running to the elders with news of my supposed transgression. i want to be with the people who will love me EVEN WHEN i fuck up, instead of shunning me in my time of need. i want to be with people who will allow me to date, unsupervised. to be around people who embrace sexuality and its many forms. i want to be around free thinkers who are openminded about religion and the possibility that no one religion has all the answers

prince used to be all that and i used to really admire him for that reason. now, his lyrics simply scare me. if he were still propounding a message of love that is universal and accessible to ALL people of the world, i would buy his music again.

but he's not

it makes me really sad and i'm sorry prince, i'll always wish you well. but i have to say no i won't join again.

Yes - I think the incredible access Prince has given fans is unprecedented - and well worth it.

yes

S is for damn Sure!!!

yes

Yes ...even if he didn't try to coax
people with the "extra" downloads.

Yes

far from weighing in with one concise word i am blathering all over this thread

now that we've been given the instrumental X album i'm a happier camper. no weighty religious message to plow through, no baggage, just sheer clean music for the fun of it

so, maybe

Yes of course! I'm a follower 4 life

Are you kidding? There needs to be some major ass kissing before I sigh a check to the NPGMC. I don't take being slighted lightly.

not at this time.

i mean, even BMG Music is more reliable than NPGMC.

until they quit playing games they arent getting a penny from me anymore.

Listen to Stevie Wonder Songs In The Key Of Life and compare it to The Rainbow Children. One is welcoming the other is stifling.

Very well said!

I have never joined, and never will unless all the downloads are available on CD as I do not have access to the equipment which would make these downloads worthwhile to me. So it's no... again.

oh yes

Probly

ok. i know i'm running amok on the thread which asks for one word.

but, sometimes i put a word out there, then i have to eat it. like, now. i come here humbled by the X album. which roX and scratches that itch i had, and didn't even know before i heard this tasty little treat. ahhh track 4 alone is worth the membership.
