This JW thing is boring, but you-all know what would make him exciting, IF HE DID A BLUES/ROCK album and just got back to rockin'! Oh, I would love to hear him play something like "I Gotta Try You Girl." Or at least come up with something equally GREAT for 2004! I'm so sick of this JW talk. If he came to my door as a JW, I wouldn't answer (wait, maybe, I would!)


Totally agree with you mate. JW - get rid, RnR - do it !



I agree with you, too. I WANT MORE MORE LOUD GUITAR!! less slang (i'm referencing that "enough ice to recap the pole...or whatever he says) and less jw!

1. The same stupid questions provide the same boring answers

2. I'm sad about the fact that P seems to be censoring himself to appease the JWs
Because of course "CENSORSHIP IS OBSCENE"

3. I dont think he likes interviews because he is so private. So he has a few stock
answers that he always gives to make them easier




Then why not just fuck the interviews and send out a press release with the stock answers? It's not like they're gonna change.

Having never gone to college, it shows up now in interviews with him the way he pauses to come up with a reasonably intellegent answer to when a interviewer questions him. The most recent Tavis Smiley interview was good, but it's as if Tavis really held off on giving him really tough questions. From what I can see, just about every reporter who gets to interview a celeberity, whether it's the press junket or that faux " Exclusive " coup reserved for the likes of Barbara Walters and Oprah, kiss the ass of said personality, Prince included. They're either afraid to ask really deep questions for fear of losing the opportunity to speak to them, or an unlikely scenario, they don't want to make that celeberity look stupid. I don't know if it's true in Prince's case, but their publicists and handlers set them up with cupcake interviews, cause it's easier to fool the crowd when " enter celeberity name here " looks like their smarter than they are.



p.s... I didn't go to college either, so don't jump on my case about it.



not jumping on ur case, but u don't have to go to college to have an intelligent conversation. being that i am myself a college student, even after the fact of persuing college and completing, i would doubt the fact that i knew more than Prince. he's very worldly. He's been around, he knows a lot from experience. I can't even answer some questions thrown at me sometimes. lol. my parents are high school drop-outs, regardless they have their GEDs, but thats besides the point, they are extremely intelligent.

IMO, I think Prince holds back because all he wants to do is shout at the reporters, "FUCK YEA!! I'M CRAZY!! AND I WANNA BANG A SHIT LOAD OF CHICKS." Don't let him fool you. Prince is still Prince. Deep down inside, he's just the old "Dirty Mind/Controversy" Prince that we know and love waiting to jump out in front of everyone.

The interviewers are boring! They need 2 do more homework on P other than talking about Purple Rain amillion times. He'd b very happy and fresh if they talked about his latest music ...TRC,Chocolate Invasion,Slaughter House,NEWS, etc. etc. as well as MUSICOLOGY. Ask Q's about the NPGMC and it's evolution from year 2 year. They all ask the same Q's so P gives them the same answers, hell all they have 2do is read his previous interviews and come up with fresh Q's 2 add 2 the obvious Q's about the new album and tour!

Same quotes in every interview (Envelopes being pushed, Musicians not computers, noting Larry Graham as his mentor and main influence etc) Even his setlists are now repetitive.

No wonder he hardly opened his mouth in the 80's, at least he was a bit of an enigma back then. He was mysterious. Pity he can't shut up nowadays, he's suddenly become an instant cure for insomnia! zzz

Just my opinion. feel free to disagree! biggrin
[Edited 9/30/04 13:26pm]



No, U're right. At least he opens his mouth and annunciates more now, in his interviews. That mumbling & what-not in the 80s was TRULY 4 the birds. I think he comes off as self-righteous in the 04 interviews, really. particularly when he talks about how it's not cool to cuss and sell sex anymore. I mean, he's right, but, I kind of feel turned off by him shunning his "old sexy, nasty self", just like I was turned off when Al gore distanced himself from Bill Clinton during the 00 elections. I happened 2 LIKE the old Prince, and Bill Clinton, so the Christianized, holier-than-I-used-2-B thing 4 me w/ Prince IS rather annoying. And of course, Al Gore was nothing BUT annoying, so that analogy stands as well....

I don't think Prince is boring. Actually it's exciting because this is the first year I have ever ever been into Prince and know that he exists. I have only liked him since Feb. But yeah I know what some of you mean by he keeps answering with boring answers. I can't wait till Oprah gets a hand on him then it will be worth watching. And as for Prince kissing, he does kiss bad as I could see. I wouldn't mind kissing him but still it looks so bad when he does on TV.

Apparently, you never saw him on... , Oprah back in '96.

One of Prince's most horrible interviews... ever! She did not show him in a good light, in my humblest opinion.

So the last, and only time she "got a hand on him," and it was not a good thing.

i read (probably) almost every interview that came out in the past year...as i'm sure most of us have...and, yes, he is on the dull side. the first one or two interviews were cool because he addressed things for the first time (well, minus the stuff he was regurgitating from prior concerns). after that, though, every interview was the same. as deja said, part of that is because the journalists are only allowed to ask him certain types of questions. that in and of itself is terribly boring. not to mention contradictory...he's always talking about freedom but that is the last thing he gives a journalist when it comes time to interview him.

I would say he has gotten boring but I wont take it there. disbelief
Instead I'll just say he's gotten older and much more mature. geek He was radical, wild, elusive and controversial when he was younger as most people are but now he's settled into his life. I mean, I personally dont think Prince is old but he certainly does...think about how he referred to some performers showing their skin in the Tavis Smiley interview when he played "Reflection" with Wendy on acoustic, he said " They shouldnt be showing it. It's old skin" and this comment was in highlight right after the Janet Jackson Nipplegate thing... if he thinks she's old and she's younger then him, he must be etched in caves in his mind. Or maybe he was referring to good ol Madonna who still aint afraid to jump up and do her thang even if we do have to call her ESTHER. rolleyes I have thought Prince was being boring when everytime I eagerly picked up a magazine expecting to read about something said differently, what, I dont know, but wound up hearing the same :Why should I curse, I dont talk about my personal life, Sony understands what it is for an artist to be free, NPGMC is a music club for the real fans, Larry G is my best friend, Im a JW, etc. type of stuff. But then again, most interviwers have been asking him the same type of questions. shrug
I dont think he means to put out there that he is boring just that he is comfortable finally with where he's at in his life. shrug

Well, sorry, but I think he's been boring lately. Some people try to claim it as maturity, but if being mature means I have to act like that....then I guess The Who said it best, "I hope I die before I get old."


As for my sig, I got it here: http://www.ranting-grypho.../rants.htm

I can't remember which rant it's from though.....shrug
