Prince refuses to use a cell phone – because he believes technology destroys the spirit.
The now-Jehovah’s Witness explained to Britain’s Daily Telegraph Magazine: “We breathe air, we hear sound waves, we react to spirit and colour. Spirit is everywhere around us but there’s so much to keep you from it – computers, pagers, all that stuff.
“You ain’t gonna hear me beeping! I don’t use cell phones. No sir, ain’t nobody going to reach me.”

What a soulmate!!!! I don't use cellphones either!

Hilarious. I can't even figure out how to use them..Lol...My Nails can't dial them..Lol...

hell, i agree with him where cell phones are concerned. i think they freakin' suck out people's souls. though he really does need to define exactly what he means by "computers", as i'm really getting sick of him using this word as a stock answer for everything that's wrong with music and the world in general.

Q: Prince, what would you do to improve the situation in Iraq?

A: Well, it's obviously a very debased situation. You've got a lot of problems over there, like computers for example...

KNOCK IT OFF WITH THE COMPUTERBASHING, PRINCE!!!!

You get my point, Sugar.

Hey, I was going to say the same thing. I still don't own a cell phone and I refuse to get one. My paw says to me, "You get more and more eccentric the older you get."

But he doesn't own one either, so how is not having a cell phone eccentric? Ah, well.

But Prince is _my_ soulmate! Ha-ha-ha!

This quote was debunked by the mods at the club a couple of months ago - I'm sure you could still find the thread if you did a search there.

has he turned amish now?

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Really? Why is that? Not for tickets or downloads?

Heidi said:

I am going to seriously take everything he says now with a grain of salt...really. Technology is only cool when he's using it. Swearing is only cool when he's doing it. Eating meat is not cool unless he's eating fish.

i have more important things to spend $25 on.

What happened to the cell phone he had in the "Betcha By Golly Wow" video?

Maybe some crazy fam got the number and wouldn't stop calling... now he lets his assistant’s handle his phone calls, I'm sure.

I know right! exactly what i was thinking. I mean I kinda understand the cell phones part-because they can tend to be alittle annoying and distracting and what not, but the computers and stuff-I don't see how you can live w/out those !
..... just thought I'd add my

So THAT'S the reason for the acoustic set.

Can't wait to see him going from show to show in a horse and wagon.

"Prince played three nights in Minneapolis. He's scheduled to play 2 nights in Chicago, just as fast as his horses can take him!"

"Prince grows 25 inch beard. Has written 'Amish' on his cheek. Said he'd get it as a tattoo, but they use too many 'new-fangled' contraptions to create them."

Who cares - I wouldn't need a cell phone either if I had a fucking assistant

He probably got an assistant JUST for his cell phone .. that way he can say that he doesn't use a cell phone, no no, someone else is beeping for him ..

(just like he has an assistant to deal with his security, and one for the food, and one for his clothing and another pa for his personal hygiene and one to wipe his arse and ... )
