I've defended Prince on all kinds of stuff but as for his skills in expressing deep ideas, he's just not up there.

If you can't stand a discussion, just write fan letters. Again, there would be no need to discuss if we all agreed in the first place. Pretty boring if you ask me.


i love to discuss things with people who dont missinterprate things and twist words and then use it as an excuse to bag the crap outa people because they see more to something than oneself... all some of you people wanna do is criticize... the good things prince has done outways the bad things people have written about him at least a million to one, like i have said... JUST BECAUSE YOU DONT SEE IT DOESNT MEAN ITS NOT THERE AND IT DOESNT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO JUDGE OR CRITICIZE THE PEOPLE WHO CAN SEE IT... its that simple



hello, you are asking people for their opinion on a topic...if you dont want people to share their own opinion on a topic then aerogram is correct, right a fan letter. now, whats up with the baiting?

[Flame snipped - luv4u]if someone dont agree thats fine... it doesnt give them the right to judge them and Prince just because they cant see or feel somethin...

people are entitled to thier opinion... perhaps you wanna ask them why they are so intent on attacking my opinion simply because they dont understand somethin... if you read the forums carefully you will see most of thier attacks are based on missinterpretation and where they have not read the statement properly..!!

try not to generalize...aerogram has gotten into may-o-debates defending prince. My crapping on Musicology comes to mind.

heres the deal, nobody can take way the emotional impact that prince's music has on you...so just agree to disagree and enjoy the fact that *you* get it and others just simply dont. but knocking them for disagreeing with you doesnt really do anyone or anything good.


now, to answer your initial question: i think prince used to be really effective at communicating his feelings and beliefs..but the last decades have left me, personally, cold. i feel like prince is intimidated to share his raw emotions now. yes, sometimes he is open to sharing himself (in songs like Reflection, I Love You But I Dont Trust You Anymore come to mind) but for the most part IMHO he seems to be more guarded about his intentions. and the results leave my ears cold to his true emotional impact.

but thats my take on it....it shouldnt take away how you experienced things.....if it does, well.....that means you didnt have a true buy in on what he was conveying in the first place. IMHO.

i have recently been heavily criticized by some on this site simply for stating that i believe Prince communicates his feelings and beliefs to real supporters through his music and that Prince sees the world on a deeper level than most... because of this people have said i'm "crazy or i worship him as a god" although i must say i have had support on this from other members but was totally amazed at the narrow minded views i was hit with on such a site like this SO.... i ask... do you see a deeper side or meaning in a lot of P's music or are they just a bunch of songs about nuthin...

hmm.. family name... dear mr man.... hello.... dolphin... purple rain... race... etc etc etc etc

I posted an academic paper I wrote recently about spiritual themes in Prince's music... if you'd like a copy, orgnote me w/ an email address and I'll send you one.
