I would ask him to show me God within him.


mickg, Prince states throughout his work that God is Love. Do you Love?



"God is Love" is the idealistic terminology spoken by people that feel the need to be loved. The true meaning still escapes humanity.

I'd never say or aprove of someone speaking "God is Love" rather the truth is "Love God".

If you truly Love God, with all your heart and soul, then you would love yourself and your brothers and sisters unselfishly and without motive, unconditional love that's the thing of beauty. I'm sure Prince is said or would like to assume he loves unconditionally, but that isn't what he does.
News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so.
You have those internalized issues because you want to, you like to, stop.

Oh I know. It's knowing the words that would ring with such honesty and truth that my words couldn't be viewed as a lie, that I don't know.

First off, I'd kick Larry Graham's butt outta the room.
Then I'd ask him if he's given up on having children.

What is his setting when he composes? Is he listening to music or complete silence? I ask some very deep questions about him and his passion (music). I will try to stay away from his personal life because that is his business. I do not feel the need to invade in in people lives. Random questions like What is one up and down side to your life as the performer and also the life as the composer? What do you find to be helpful? What do you wish you could change? What hopes do you have for the future or do you live by the moment? How are you in general? Is everything going the right way or is there some major grave issues to be solved? Where do you want to go with your next album? Do you allow yourself to be open with fan's comments and thoughts? Or don't care? What are your favorite: color, food, ect.?

Honestly, I'd ask him why he has married/dated women so much younger than him.


Then after security tossed me out on my ass I'd think, "Damn!! I should have asked him when he was going to tour next!!"



That is a great question that I have wondered about many times. I mean, doesn't he put together the age factor and the number of divorces he has had? Surely he has met some INCREDIBLE women that are at least closer in age!! I know he has in fact. It must be some sort of fear of facing his own age. Something we all wrestle with, imagine being a huge star!
THEN, I would remember to ask him for several back stage passes to his next show.

I would ask him about his creative process going into the Parade and Rainbow Children album.


I asked him how long it took to make TRC...he said "a couple of weeks". That blew me away...I told him how much more I liked that album then Rave (duh). BTW this was asked to him at the Celebration - last group near the piano w/Kevin Smith.

Because he's wildly confused, as many are. The confusion is derived from an unclean understanding of the layers of reality and perceptions.

There are those that only see one layer of reality.

There are those that are gifted enough to confuse multilevels of reality.

There is me, the only person I know of that's have been able to seprate and maintain the levels of reality and map out a good part of their interacting components that leads the the confusion of others.

What good are gifts if you all are unable to use them functionally through the levels???

Could it be a picture in my mind?
Never sure exactly what I'll find.
Only in my dreams I turn you on.
Here for just a moment then you're gone.

It's just an illusion, ooh ooh ooh ooh ahhh, illusion
ooh ooh ooh ooh ahhh, illusion.
Could it be that
it's just an illusion
Could it be that
in all this confusion
Could it be that
it's just an illusion
haaaaah! music


Yall remember that song. That was the jam back in the day! lol

I will say that I now believe Prince probably knows exactly who you are. But his security people DEFINITELY know who you are.

Dude, let it go. Whatever you're imagining about you and Prince, let it go.

Well, most likely in all respect...

An interview is always done with his needs first.
I am sure when he has an interview he thoroughly makes sure that the conversation is not slighted by evil intentions on the part of the interviewer.
Now for an honest interview what would be the questions asked?
hmmmm, let me think a moment, contemplate even.

#1 Point blank: Traveling the world and viewing an audience... do you feel that your music is like the open book of many cultures and would you start doing music with many cultures of humanity?

#2 Point blank: Since the industry (even tho they won't admit) has listened to your music (and they have): Do you feel that perhaps you would be able to enlighten the industry to a new phase of potential truths in music, that before were unspoken? (in other words - can ya tell the industry how to get to the truth of music again (another direction, possibly)?

#3 Point blank: In the upcoming years of now speaking in the terms of touring? What aspect would best suit the calibur of a "reality show of what touring actually is" - perhaps a behind the scenes of how hard people work when on tour, not just the musicians but all involved. (awakening the eyes) to the journey of truth in all aspects of music?

#4 Point blank: Knowing fully well that GOD is the provider in talent, what type of contemplation towards the goals you have... do you feel that you have reached (theoretically and not specifying any one era?)

#5 Point blank: Do you foresee a school of music that you could perhaps "apprentice with guidance" perhaps in the next 15 years?

#6 Point blank: Do you feel that potentially Paisley Park could become a new "musical live web/experience w/independent artists being able to be seen thru your Paisley Park studio globally?"

#7 Last but not least Point Blank: Since you have continuously educated your spirit and shared what your spirit truly feels open to share globally, what wonderful statements might you add (openly right here right now) that would give support to any upcoming independent artists in the way of ... staying focused and how can they remain focused?

And there it is... My questions for an interview with Mr. Prince Rogers Nelson.

Not that it would actually happen but you asked... therefore, I shared....
Take care (hera/aimgnis) edited name

I just wanna know the stories behind the songs -- mainly every-single-little detail about how he wrote them, from the song's very birth to its final mix.
