... or is it just me?

Lyrically Prince has always been something of a hedonist and, with the odd flirtations with politics (clumsy) and religion (impenetrable, as he doesn't seem to understand what he believes anyway) aside, his raison d'etre (is that right?) is to PARTAY like it's... whenever.

His move to VEGAS is entirely understandable. That's where he belongs. The cliche that he has evolved into fits nicely in Sin City. He IS an old-scraggly-head and can play 'like he used to' for all he's worth. He's now, no longer relevant, but a massive talent who's reason is to entertain - which he readily does.

Prince is Liberace.

Well they both have singular names!!

Theres one similarity there, already!!!!

Also, he could b going through the "Mountain-Mohammed Syndrome" phase as is the case with Celine Dion!! Doesnt want 2 tour anymore so, all the fans have 2 come and see her!! Prince maybe sick and tired of touring(after all he IS 48 now, dont forget!! Although, if the Rolling Stones can still tour and rip up concert arenas, I am sure he can still!!) and has set up a geographically central base, so that all his fans can come and see him, instead!!

Tricky was being prophetic in Under the Cherry Moon!

since when did prince move to vegas?

a lot of artists do a lot of work there because there is no income tax so i would be completely surprised. but this is new to me. can anyone clarify.

my theory of the week is this: by going the vegas route, prince is living out one of his father's dreams.

just a random thought i had recently.

wow, yes!

BoySimon said:

Well at least he is "somebody" Who tha fuck r u? nobody.

BoySimon said:

besides Liberace is an ugly guy....

bublebath said:

is? was. dude's dead.

of course, maybe that's what you meant. he's got to be looking pretty ghoulish by now.

Anx said:

dead?


I mean

bublebath said:

yeah. dead. of AIDS. it was hiLARious.

Graycap23 said:

Why? WHat is wrong with Liberace? You prolly have never seen Lovesexy Live and noticed that Prince pulled a Liberace when he did hte piano part.

Nothing worng with Liberace!

Anx said:

WHoa...scary Personally I think Michael Jackson would be better suited for Vegas...even though lil P loves to scream "Vegas" at the end of his songs.

bublebath said:

Again. I am shocked at some of these statements about Liberace. He won many a ladies heart and was considered very good looking in his day.

Anx said:

Is that the offical word? I know he did. But is that what was said of him officially?

superspaceboy said:

i believe he held a press conference right before he died, or he at least had a press release issued confirming that he had full blown AIDS. in fact, it may have been a press release issued posthumously...i forget, but it was confirmed.

Anx said:

But he was never confirmed to be gay. In fact the "museum" or whatever doesn't talk about it at all.

superspaceboy said:

i need to watch the tv movie again!

superspaceboy said:

oh gawd yes...the ladies loved them some liberace, simply because he was such a prettyman.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

let's see...who else has that kind of appeal?

Anx said:

Everyone know Liberace was gay, but he was never, ever out. If I recall correctly, even his lover/partner/homie doesn't admit to their relationship.

Anx said:

ohh, i dunno...ooh! there's this one guy i've heard about who dresses really sharp (wears high-heeled shoes, even!) and plays the piano and is really handsome and the ladies think he's totally sexxified...think his name is court jester or magistrate or something like that.

Suddenly Bob George takes on a whole new meaning!!

yeah youre going to have to dig to get the joke.

Anx said:

never saw it. There was an E or Biography thingy on him. Fascinating!
