Well, that pee-pee full of baby juice on the 1999 cover came to me in a dream and told me that Prince is in perfect mental health. And that says what? That says you're covered in marmalade. | |

Direction is different that actually doing it. Certainly the later ones have not been his doing. Christian Zombie Vampires | |

There was one moment on that Oprah interview where I thought he might have been nuts. I think he was talking about his name change and he got real quiet & serious for a second, but it was more about being uncomfortable about what he was revealing, it seemed.
I would also say that his themes have seemed a bit forced & contradictory. Emancipation was stiff, Rave was depressed, Mayte wasn't true love, Musicology wasn't the best lesson. but this makes you wonder; "recalls is a feeling of strong detachment, nervous breakdown, mental illness."

 all that gitters isn't gold, and some people think Prince's shit is actually smelling of flowers.
Thanks NDRU. [Edited 10/2/06 16:13pm] 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. | |

Wrong! Prince is not the craziest motherfucker, if only because he does insist on refusing to return your letters.  News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.

It's typical Prince. You've got to really understand what he's sying with pictures! | |

But trying to diagnose mental illness by examining the design of a fucking album cover. That's just some boolsheet right there. . [Edited 10/2/06 18:20pm] "What kind of fuck ending is that?" | |

Certainly the later ones have not been his doing. depends, really. prince did art direction on the purple rain album, and i think you can really see his input on that one. even stuff like SOTT and lovesexy, it's a safe bet that he had very specific ideas for the looks of those records. that's been missing over the past decade or so. | |

[Edited 10/2/06 18:20pm] I was actually quoting Riverpoet and the question was about how the album cover "recalls" to him of the feeling of mental illness. Does that mean Riverpoet understands it, and if so should he be more sympathetic? [Edited 10/3/06 10:46am] My Legacy

[Edited 10/3/06 10:46am] Although it's tempting to analyze Riverpoet's post and diagnose him with a history of mental illness considering what Riverpoet tries to do with his Album Cover Analysis Method, I won't. I will diagnose it as bool-sheet though. "What kind of fuck ending is that?" | |

Riverpoet31 said: I was just reacting on a thread about cover-art, saying that emancipation has the worst cover-art of any Prince album ever.
To build a bit further on this: in my opinion the artwork is downright disturbing. The colours dont match in any way, the computer generated images are ugly as hell and the general feeling the artwork recalls is a feeling of strong detachment, nervous breakdown, mental illness. There's is nothing in the artwork that might be relaxing, or to relate to on a personal level, its all downright unconvincingly posing, ugly colours, ugly images. The artwork reminds me a lot about the interview Prince gave to Oprah around that time, posed answers that might sound sane for a 3 year old, but showing a lot of darkness, unease, trouble underneath the surface. I have always questioned Prince as an artist surfing the edge of 'sanity', but with this artwork he shows (consciously or not) he is a mentally ill person. | |

You can tell a lot by someones art or even the choices they make to create a cover,photograh,collage,etc. of course some of it subjective based on the observers perspective. But there are archatypes that we as a collective conscience can idntify with. So I tend to agree that something can be read into cover art or any art for that matter. | |

True, but he didn't paint Emancipation. I'm sure he had creative control, but I don't think it's exactly a product of his mind. My Legacy
