I have this feeling the Jehovah's Witnesses had something to do with why Prince didn't mention 9/11 after the bombing. Sure, he did mention it in lyrics, way after the fact, but he has yet to say anything, pro or con.

The Witnesses probably didn't want any bad publicity, if Prince would have said something crazy, after the terrorist attacks.

This is probably why you never see Witnesses in the media; they can say their crazy shit in private, but if they admit it in public, they would lose all their money, and lose credibility, if they ever had any at all.

Sowwy, bad syntax..lol

Maybe because, blessedly, Prince doesn't feel the entire world is hanging on his every thought, opinion and feeling.

Maybe because he decided to express his comments on the matter only to those closest to him.

Or maybe, you are way too idealistic about Prince, Diana..lol huggies

He probably didnt comment because he is a musician; not a politician. No one cares what Prince has to say about 911 expect the most obsessed fans. People want to hear his music and see his show.

2freaky4church1 said:

Yeah, so we take it door to door. That'll keep it a secret, alright.

maybe he knows you can't believe everything you see and hear
watch the videos -- show me american airlines -- i don't see 'em

Prince talks of certian subject matters in subtle ways. Like in Cinnamon Girl, he seems to recognize the effects of 9/11, and how such an event could cause a chain reaction of hate, and vengance. I imagine Prince relates to worldy event from a biblical perspective, as if all things that are happening now, where written long before. Prince may appear to have a boxed in mind, due to his JW ways, but all in all, I feel he has a pretty good birds eye view of the world, and it's events.

Agreed. With videos like Cinnamon Girl and songs like Dear Mr. Man, I think P has said enough. Now, its just a matter of who is paying attention and willing to listen.

He did at the NYC 2002 Rainbow Children Concert. He said to open your bibles & you will get all your answers (He broke down Purple Rain in a Keyboard Version & then talked about 9/11)

ElectricBlue said:

I stand corrected.

isn't "Cinamon Girl" about the aftermath of 9/11?

sorry, didn't read the entire initial post.

2freaky4church1 said:

The only people who've said anything "pro" 9/11 are currently living in caves and are on "Most Wanted" posters. So why on earth would you feel Prince needs to go there?

Cuz he didnt feel like it.

didn't KRS-1 make some pro 9-11 comments. I'm drudging up old shit...

kdj997 said:

Yes, some did in fact some find his comments to be bordering on being quote un quote non-American/Militant. But, you know people are so anal retentive and politically correct these days. Shit, they made just as loud as a stink about P's Dear Mr. Man. So, I would say anything goes when it comes to societal opinion.

is he an xpert foreing affairs analyst or something?

everyone has an opinion but obviously some opinions are more serious than the typical "oh, that was sad!"
