Giovanni777 said: It seems so simple 2 me, that it baffles me how many "orgers" don't get it. Prince is keeping it real. He's all about the music (and always has been) now. It's frustrating 2 me, being a musician, digging many styles of music, and finally, Prince goes in this direction, and very few "understand" it. I like the "showman" side through the years... original and traditional at the same time. High energy to the Maxx. BUT... enough complaining already! He's got the best material and band we've seen... the older material is done the best it has been... The new music should be embraced, but then again, not if you dig it. The whole name association thing blows my mind... I mean if you played Xpectation or N.E.W.S. for music heads, and told them it was Herbie Hancock's new stuff, people would be like, "wow". I hope Herbie has heard these, 'cause he would dig it. I deal with Herbie a bit in my work, and he (like Stevie, Bernie Worrell, Prince, and others) is a MAJOR influence on keys 2 many, and musically open minded. I guess it's like, if U don't feel it, try 2 or just leave it alone. Prince's musical expressions have not stopped and aren't about 2, so keep listening...
Peace. Totally agree. Well said. | |

Thank you for the pix, loveuniverse .
Prince is looking sooo serious. I wonder what he is thinking. Oh, that suit looks so fine. Thank you Prince for surprising L.A. I wish I had been there. [This message was edited Sun Aug 31 6:08:53 PDT 2003 by gyro34] | |

Has anyone apart from me ever thought about how prince always physically changes. i remember through th 80's that not only every album was different and the image but the whole physicality of the man. Each albu his face and body would look completely different-it was like getting a new pop star with every album-i even think this dampened his success-both musically and visually people never had long enough to have one star to look at or listen to, Every time it was like a baptism of fire and by the time the masses were on the verge of reaccepting him he had moved on again. Here he reminds me of the cover of the Kiss 12' single-the black and white one where he is sucking in his cheeks. A long lean face-where black features are almost erradicated by pose. Here though it looks like he has lost weight which i think ages people. of course he is wearing makeup-but these days it is like television makeup-which if anything is more vain. I think he looks cool-and by next year will look like somebody else again | |

That is so funny, cuz I was just thinking 2 myself earlier this morning that I've never seen him play with a strat b4. I then made mental notes of the guitars I have seen him play just 2 be sure, and sure enuff he hadn't picked up one in concert (that i've seen from boot videos and concerts). NOW look... He played a red strat at the 3 Divas Concert in New York back in 1996... Neversin. O(+>NIИ<+)O
