1st Corinthians 10:14 Is this correct?
14Therefore, my dear friends, flee from idolatry.
So I get two emails at the same time from NPGMC, one with this, and one trying to flog me a 3121 tamborine!! Good ol' Prince, always the joker!! [Edited 5/25/06 10:46am] | |

I think this is a true sign of stupidity on Prince's part. His statement that we should go to this passage and take it as a directive to NOT idolize is purely HYPOCRITICAL!! Does he think so little of his fans that we wouldnt use the eyes God gave us?!? You cannot do one thing and say another and remain credible. He has not "sold out" (that was YEARS AGO), but he has sacrificed his credibility with his fans. Sorry to say that after all these years, but that's my take.
I will not stop buying his music (and bootlegs especially), but I think its a waste of my time to read any interviews from him after this when most of what comes out of the man's mouth is either ignorant (covers shouldn't be done -- citing a great cover like Aretha's version of Redding's "Respect") or simply a load of horseshit! I did NOT watch the performance last night, and I have ZERO desire to see it; its a crappy talent show for Christ's sake! And my anger is NOT based on his performance -- that is purely irrelevant. What is relevant is his hypocritical attempt to have it both ways. Asshole move, my man, asshole move. | |

Fuckin' hell...I didn't receive either of those emails. I got one announcing The Time Hite Las Vegas, and yes, it was spelled Hite instead of Hits. 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. | |

Perhaps his concern was that people would criticize his performing on a show with the name American Idol. Especially as it appears he's told his fans not to idolize him. This may have been his way to say that the stand he takes has not changed.Why do you like playing around with my narrow scope of reality? - Stupify | |

But you see the irony of saying that, then in the same breathe trying to profit from and promote idolatry by hawking merchandise emblazoned with his symbols, catch-phrases and trademarks. | |

That's actually interesting. I'm not sure what that scripture is speaking of. Almost makes me want to get the bible from under this table and investigate. But then it'll start to wobble again.
I'm gonna burn....I already know this. Why do you like playing around with my narrow scope of reality? - Stupify | |
