He Never Wanted to Be Worshipped

have heard it said that our tricky mister never wanted to be worshipped...
that others put him on a pedestal....enslaving him inside a game.

in what ways has his position as a human being
been exaggerated into that of guru/god?

media?fans?

Or maybe the NPG music club's religious circle of nuts.

Prince's personal beliefs are being misrepresented all of the time by the very people who say they love him so much.

Prince puts himself on a pedestal. Always has. Wicked pride.

"For the day of the LORD of hosts [shall be] upon every [one that is] proud and lofty, and upon every [one that is] lifted up; and he shall be brought low:" (Isaiah 2:12).

Does he put himself on a pedestal or is it that the byproduct of his occupation?

It seems this is more the way that many choose to see him.
There's a current thread " What would you do if Prince dumped you?
Why is that not a GD question asking "What would you do if a guy dumped you?"

I know it's hypothetical and all in fun but, that this response is expected to be different because it's a relationship with a "celebrity" then you've entered it with him on a pedestal. One that you put him on.

I believe that he doesn't want to be worshipped/on a pedestal. I don't think anyone could truly enjoy that.

Yep. Fame is a substitute for love. It's also addictive as hell.

That depends upon what you are truly asking.

me either - not ultimately.

it might give u a kick for a while - but that cheap thrill might fade once u realise it makes u a Sleeper.

b4 the internet came along - artists didnt really have a choice in how they were marketed...

nowadays they do - free of the vanity trappings of the past - and all the transparent hype that creates a godly illusion...

mass media 101 - 'how to make false gods'

internet 101 - how to get real.

imo.
