The Writing on P's Head in CG video

Once everybody see the Cinnamon Girl video, I'll know they'll be wondering what the writing on his forehead. It's a reference to Matthew 5:5, from the Beatitudes in the Bible. Prince also quotes this scripture in Dear Mr. Man.

SO WHAT IF WE'RE CONTROLLING ALL THE OIL, IS IT WORTH THE CHILD DYING 4?

Smart minds think alike. Saw that right from the start n knew.

Posted it on the video thread shorlty after u did, with almost the exact same referencing. Weird. Total coincedence, but still, weird.

Ah, I see!

Is Prince meek?

Yeah, don't the meek get to inherit the Earth just as the apocalypse comes and everything blows up? Bit of a hollow gift, isn't it?!

biggrin

MAN #1: I think it was 'Blessed are the cheesemakers.'

MRS. GREGORY: Ahh, what's so special about the cheesemakers?

GREGORY: Well, obviously, this is not meant to be taken literally. It refers to any manufacturers of dairy products.

FRANCIS: Well, blessed is just about everyone with a vested interest in the status quo, as far as I can tell, Reg.

REG: Yeah. Well, what Jesus blatantly fails to appreciate is that it's the meek who are the problem.

For the longest time, Prince thought it was "Blessed are the freaks, for they shall inherit the earth"...which of course 'splains why he wrote the lyrics and acted the way he did from 1980-1995 or so...he was putting a claim in for his share.

Then Larry Graham came along, pointed out that it actually said "meek"...Prince said "D'oh!", changed his tune, and the rest is history...


True story... nod
