What is up with pictures of Mayte on npgmc?

I am really confused about the npgmc.com.

I know that many of you say that he hasn't actually been actively involved in the website's content for some time.. but you would think that he would give them some direction -- like nix all photos of P with his exes.

In the Tourbook Gallery 2, there is a photo of Mayte and him -- looks like around the time of the "symbol" album.

Plus, what's up with the Vanity 6 video clip "Drive Me Wild"?

Isn't he supposed to be representing clean, pure entertainment? I just don't get it.

And then again, I'm sure he's serving drinks at this 3121 parties in his home.

So, whatever, Prince. neutral
Come here, babe.. yeah...

What, do you want him to edit his past?

Alter reality?

***

He is performing those songs in the present.

Therefore, he has modified them in some cases, to suit his current beliefs.

The 'former-Prince' may have written them, but the 'current-Prince' is performing them.

The lyric changes do not however indicate that Prince wishes to 'change' or 'blot out' large chunks of his past. If he wanted to do that he wouldn't perform those songs at all.

Peace
Mr7

I agree Mr7, but keep in mind. Changing the way one talks and changing "lyrics" does not change WHO a person is.

Exactly! Not only that, but Prince must find some pride in being with such beautiful woman. Why would he want to keep them hidden from his past?

dude....shhh I can't figure out why you'd want to encourage nixing stuff from the past...he does enough of that with his old tunes and it's just crazy when he does.
"representing clean and pure entertainment"? As far as I know, clean and pure entertainment has never approached prince to represent them, and let's hope they don't. Even if they do, I don't think Prince will sign a contract with them. wink
"not a fan" falloff yeah...ok

Hold on there, Nelly. I'm not trying to encourage anything. None of us is going to have any success in that regard anyway. We can just make observations. I am just pointing out something that I consider odd. As you point out, Prince is obviously making a point of revising history in so many ways (that we hate).

It's interesting to me that he was okay with this. It's not like you can find many pictures of her on the site. Don't you think that's a little odd, considering that she was his very visible muse for his music for almost a decade? Her photos / images were all over everything.
