The definition of a cult. Not a joke anymore? I used to make jokes about Prince being a cult leader.
Now i'm not so sure it's a joke anymore. Check out this definition, and see if you think it applies. cult (kŭlt) Pronunciation Key
n. A religion or religious sect generally considered to be extremist or false, with its followers often living in an unconventional manner under the guidance of an authoritarian, charismatic leader. The followers of such a religion or sect. Obsessive, especially faddish, devotion to or veneration for a person, principle, or thing. The object of such devotion. A system or community of religious worship and ritual. The formal means of expressing religious reverence; religious ceremony and ritual. A usually nonscientific method or regimen claimed by its originator to have exclusive or exceptional power in curing a particular disease. Obsessive, especially faddish, devotion to or veneration for a person, principle, or thing. The object of such devotion. An exclusive group of persons sharing an esoteric, usually artistic or intellectual interest. That's a little scary, don't you think? I mean he's been slowly leaning towards this over the years, and maybe we just didn't see it. He doesn't want ANY other view of himself out there other than his own. He ALWAYS views himself as the all knowing-always right leader. Demands blind and never questioning loyalty from his followers. Something to think about and discuss, people?

I don't think Prince desires that status.
Unfortunately, for some fans, he's elevated to mythic levels. If it weren't him, it would be some other figurehead. ![]() | |
