Hello fellow Prince fans. What's the haps? Looking for some opinions about our favorite musician.

It's the year 2100. Or year 2200 for that matter. What is the general consensus of Prince in these times? Will he still be heard by select segments of society with his music living on? What will listeners then think? The legacy, you think? Will folks still be shaking a leg while discovering Erotic City, or When Doves Cry or Black Sweat?

What do you think?

argghhhhh
And i used my only time travel voucher to go back in time and try and explain to leonardo da vinci what a helicopter was.

I think he needs to make more music with substance and not just pop tarts. Like even SOTT isnt really an artistic staement along the lines of a Theme. Hell even SITKOL isnt is it? Its close. The Rainbow Children is. Maybe parade and 1999.

But a recording that is something that is akin to a Joshua Tree or Whats Goin On (and SOTT doesn't cut it completely as only the title song is all relevant standing today and tommorow-wise).

Could it be Purple Rain? I think so. Artistic vision and theme cemented throughout.

Isn't that sex with dead people????
Ewwwww

Oooooohhhhh, Okay I just read more closely.....2100, I was thinkin' 2010, OOPS!

It's 2100 and Prince -- get this -- is still alive. Thanks to his healthy ways, advances in medicine and (this is very important) loads and loads of cash, Prince is Earth's oldest living musical legend. He is a curiosity unto himself and his body of work now encompasses well over 200 albums. Once, in the late 2070's, he came up with the idea of duelling bands at a luxury advanced maturity center (the senior homes of the future), and someone had to tell him he had already done that in 2044. Still, people love and respect the legend even though they wish he would give up trying to be a sex object for anyone under 120 years old.

The best way to "live on" as told by Woody Allen:
I don't want to achieve immortality through my work... I want to achieve it by not dying!

But this isn't an option. Hopefully, by that time, people will have learned a few lessons and are smart about things again. If so, then yes, his music will be remembered. But there must be something bitter sweet (more bitter) in knowing that you've got a large body of work that will survive you. Especially as you look out at the present landscape knowing that it has no clue and that its children will have even less.

It'd would be nice if he were finally to get the credit he deserves but, contemplating the apparently limitless stupidity of the human race, I doubt it. If current musical trends continue, i.e. pop becomes even dumber, more market driven and more focussed on sex as a cheap way to grab the attention of fat rich image-obsessed 13 year olds with credit cards, then the number 1 song of 2100 will consist of a 18 yr old girl repeatedly screaming "fuck my ass!" to the accompaniment of a digital metronome while the video will feature extreme close-up fibre-optic camera shots of donkeys having anal sex with nuns. Prince will be about as hip as Bing Crosby.
