You know, it's funny.........

.....it's like, a couple of years ago, us orgers came to the conclusion that our hero was washed up and forever faded into pop obscurity. We thought that his weird behavior and decisions and the music that reflected that was proof that Prince isn't popular anymore and that he alienated a lot of fans.

But look at him now: You probably never expected him to come back this year with a hit record, hit tour, great marketing strategy, and for the man to still be at the top of his game, did you? Well, that's what I love about Prince. Just when you're about ready to give up on the man for apparently going off the deep end, he turns around and wows you with some awesome music and other aspects of his career?




























Am I making sense?

Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
woot!

Exactly. I think he wanted to get back into the game to bring some REAL music back. And I don't blame him for it. Also, a lot of other old school acts have returned to take the new kids to school. wink

He's always wanted to make it back onto mainstream radio. The "I hate radio and hate MTV" stuff only comes after a single or album fails to reach his lofty goals. I dont hate him for it, its just a defense mechanism.

I Never Thought he was Ever Washed Up ! I just didn't know why he was Not Touring or Creating Music or doing Interviews. I didn't Understand why such a Talent was Just SITTING AROUND and Not Taking his RIGHTFUL SPOT On Top Of The Charts. I'll Always be a Staunch Supporter. I Love the Man's Music ,Talent and well he's Gorgeous. I'd never give up on Prince. I just like Wild. I Don't want to Have Calm. Calm just Bores me. I need Excitement from the music I am Listening to and I Need Fun. I Couldn't Understand why Lesser Talents were More POPULAR ,Sucessful or MAKING mORE mONEY THAN pRINCE WHO TO ME IS jUST tHE gREATEST mUSICIAN AND mUSICAL TALENT.. hE'S A real musician WHO cAN dO anything... prince HAS talent AND tHAT talent WILL always kEEP HIM aROUND. aCTUALLY,pRINCE nEVER nEEDED ANY gIMMICKS CAUSE ALL HE nEEDED WAS THE mUSIC TO SELL HIM.. hE'S THAT gREAT. mY CAPS ARE LOCKED AGAIN..lOL.
