I'm so ready to accept everything about Prince as soon as he's willing to pay me the same respect. If he can't accept everything about myself, I'd understand, but he's got to at least make a little effort. mr.green
News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so.

um, ok.

you act as if no one ever thought of this stuff before, yet it's plain you're just paraphrasing stuff you've found on the net, at least 75% of which is pure garbage. i can say this with some confidence because i read that stuff myself out of interest and beyond that, i assumed my brain was still there last time i tapped myself on the head to check for any unusual reverberation. but to each their own.

shrug

i am well aware of the sin of pride, the greatest sin of all (unless it is pride in loved ones, etc... no problem there of course). but anyway, you sound kind of proud yourself (!), as if you're so much more advanced than the rest of us. that's a bit lame, don't you think? if you respond, btw, kindly remove the semi-cryptic nonsense.. it's a bit silly and makes me laugh. you don't need to hide behind that stuff, though i understand we all have personas on here to a degree.

smile

i like your music, by the way!

i speak from experience, and never ask anyone to do anything i havent first done myself

my beautiful life and the part i play in it, in full health and simplicity, is living proof that all the things i say are true

they r tried tested and proven facts beyond what most understand today, if that makes me more advanced then so be it







my original post about 'toxic worlds' came from a Great Love, a love which i do not expect anyone to understand

its not hate, its Love.
its a Love that peers from afar with a quiet knowing
its a Love that has scope, always growing
its a Love that wont be boxed into man's notion of what it is
its a Love that flies free from my mind to his

and when u first glimpse it u will be blinded
by the daisies in my yard
to Love someone no matter what
to say anything u have to
even if u know it could hurt them and make them hate you
to Love over stars and galaxies
thru dimensions so far apart
to Love to such degree that sacrifices of personal happiness r made daily
to Leave Heaven and come down to Earth to say the things i have to say
this is Love
tis not self-serving
a Love that stands in the midst of constant ridicule and mindless accusations
a Love that is happy to walk away with others thinking ill
this is Love
working in many mysterious ways

obsessions r not of this nature
obsessions r self-fulfilling
i am not fulfilled in any of this prodding
i'd prefer to not have to do it
but Love does what needs to be done and says what needs to be said
Love lifts the heart and clears the head
any.way.it.can.




I Am the Righteous One.
Peace and God Bless.
May Heaven on Earth, in clarity, purity, sincerity and genuine generosity
be urs and his.

Dont get left behind.
Open ur mind

And I'll add that I've never, never had a problem accepting Prince. But that sure as hell don't mean that I'm gonna buy any record that he pooped on and then tried to call it eclectic funk.
I'm sick and tired of the Prince fans being sick and tired of the Prince fans that are sick and tired!

Now THAT's the truth. We are labeled "Purple Kool-Aid Drinkers" and they think it's ok to dog anyone who defends or "accepts" Prince over at the GD part of the org. That is totally wrong and uncalled for. You are free to say what you want but it doesn't stop it from being unfair.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

Do you have multiple personality disorder? (not that there's anything wrong with that) One day your all la la enlightened with lavender text and then today you're like all black bold text and talking like your prince and saying how you like to feel your tits and rub your body?
my guess is yes...anyway that's beside the point.

You say you can get rid of your ego in a blink of an eye...ok? so says you, but I don't think you can. Then you say that he can't (get rid of his ego in a blink of an eye) You don't know that? and besides...I think Prince has an ego about his musical talent...He knows he's good and there isn't anyone who can tell him he's not...so in my mind he's got a right to be egotistical in that way ...YOU on the other hand...seem to have an ego about your general being, your higher level of awareness, this huge ego about yourself that only you can verify is worthy or not, just cause you can supposedly turn it on and off doesn't make it any better than prince's big ego...at least his is warranted.

hey...care to explain you sig? lol seems an interesting one...I'd love to hear the meaning behind it....do tell!

The reason most people can't accept Prince doing his thing is honestly because most people do not truly accept themselves. I love Prince's earlier albums the most however, I think its truly idiotic to expect a man in his late 40s to have the same type of fire or to go in the same direction he did in his 20s. Prince is human, has aged, gone thru things and like life his music will always be in a state of flux. If you don't dig what's going on today thats fine. However, constantly harping on what he does and doesn't need to do is a waste of time because last time I checked his way has worked very well for him. Besides, there are so many other people you can spend time digging while they are currently in their primes. It's just pointless to waste so much energy and time wishing for something that will never happen because your mind keeps a person confined to a box that they moved out of YEARS, upon YEARS ago. It must be terribly frustrating for an artist to have to deal with the confines their audiences/society places them in. I know I would be tired of peole compare me to things I did at 20 years old.

With all due respects, are you suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder? Look at what you wrote. Your unusual obsession with Prince appear to have led you to create this fantasy world where you believe you have some sort of power over Prince, when he don't even know you and vice versa. All this talk about heaven and earth and detoxing is perplexing since you seem unable to detox yourself from Prince.

I guess I just don't get it. Because when I didn't like Prince anymore, I left him and his music alone for 13 years. Musicology era got me excited again and if I get bored with him again, I leave him alone.

Don't get me wrong, I kind of enjoy your posts, because for someone who appears to suffer from BFS, this is priceless.

Wow, this shit is fascinating!

Its funny how you will still read in threads things like "use a producer" "work with such and such" "why doesnt he go back to", and it amazes me how many of us know nothing about Prince even after listening for 25+ years. Dont we realize he is never gonna do what "we" think he should do, I mean in the 80's would he work with Nile Rodgers, so why should he do something today with a pharrell or some other hip producer. I think the thing that has always drawn me too prince is that he really is in his own world, he does what he wants and when he wants, he has also managed to pretty much keep his personal life "personal".Look like it or not this is the ride people, we almost talk about Prince we are forced to listen to him and we are trying to escape. Im not saying we all have to like everything he does, opinions will vary obviously. But this far into the game i think we should understand what he is not gonna do and stop asking for it.



I couldn't have said it better smile Isn't this why most fans are draw to Prince because he's willing to roll n' deal on his terms regardless to what society thinks? This is what makes him so unique.I love Prince how he is-Don't change Prince, you know how U do it smile

he took the best and greatest journey. why change that? either you dig or you don't. i happen to dig. he's young at heart. i wish he was 25 again but we can;t turn back the clock.
