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

Everything about Prince is boring now.

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

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.

Hopefully he's got other talents to make up for his horrendous kissing....

Is Prince 2004 kind of...um...Boring?

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!

Just my opinion. feel free to disagree!

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. ....

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.

Musicians shouldn't talk too much. They should PLAY

I would say he has gotten boring but I wont take it there.
Instead I'll just say he's gotten older and much more mature. 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. 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.
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.
