that could be true about the JWs. but what i dont understand is how come da jacksons clan, who have been JWs all their life, where jigging their bodies for years to 'pop' music?


it's ok as long as you make a song about the Jehovah Faith, like the Jackson 5 had the song "Looking Through The Window".



Looking through the window, looking through the window biggrin


This is crazy! Jehovah's Witnesses can dance! (just not too nasty)
My old friend who was very disciplined and religious taught me how to
Salsa. She also listened to "regular music". (ie I know she liked
Alicia Keys, Prince, and Beyonce) :shurg:

I can live without all the dancing. I liked it better in Prince's earlier years when he danced around a little but it was none of the choreographed, rehearsed moves that he later became known for. The focus back then, for most artists, was making the best music possible and rehearsed dancing was mainly for Broadway shows.

Prince just simply matured and doesn't dance around suggestively anymore. He stills dances, but it's more conservative. Prince can still do the splits, but at the age he's at(47) I'm sure his body isn't as flexible as it was when he was in his 20's. I miss the splits too. I wish he would do at least 3 or 4 in concert to show people he can still get funky.

Prince hurt his knee and ankle back during those New power Soul gigs. I think he tripped over a misplaced monitor. He mentioned that on the 1st Tavis Smiley interview(the 1 with Larry&Chaka)! Thats y he cancled the LA gig that year. I think it was 98? That's y he ain't jumpin off the Piano and doin the splits anymore. And it also kinda seperates him from his past a little. The new Prince don't do that anymore type of vibe!

Wow.. just when you think you know all there is to know, you find out something like this... i didn't know he hurt himself .. or that he did the Smiley show back in '98.. thanks... I'll have to look on Smiley's website to see if it's archived. I know that his most interview with Reflection was.
Come here, babe.. yeah...

Now i'm not saying that he can't but more like he does'nt feel the need 2 or maybe does'nt want 2 chance reinjuring himself bcuz at his age certain injuries don't heal as fast. He still dances pretty funky even without the splits!
U,ME,WE!....2FUNKY!

BTW, Prince being too old to dance is no excuse.

James Brown is still dancing. And he's almost 80!!!

eek He had ribs removed?? I've never heard this and what does being a JW have to do with cosmetic surgery?
The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp.

Wait, are you laughing at me? sad

Edit: I didn't mean eek like I believed he had ribs removed...does anyone really do that?...I meant eek like some people (ie noodlesoup) will believe anything. But just to be sure I Googled "Prince ribs removed" and it seems to be an urban myth. Whew!

I'm sorry jone70. I wasn't so much laughing at you, more like just amused at noodlesoup's reference to the neverending myth-joke about Prince having had a rib removed and I guess I just tagged my comment onto your post. I can see how you thought I was laughing at what you said though so I'm sorry. hug

As for noodlesoup, I can't speak for him but I think he was just being facetious in his comment. smile
