as long as he's not changing 'sexuality' to 'spirituality', i'm happy.

exactly. beyond changing his old lyrics, i´d say i don´t mind him
not cursing anymore.

he stopped just in time and although i didn´t really agree with,
or understand it at the time, i can see now that he made a good
call on that.

the occasional curse word aside, it really doesn´t serve any
kind of purpose and doesn´t make his songs better anyway.

but, like i said, what i do mind is when he changes his old
lyrics around to be about spirituality and loveliness when,
in all honesty, they were about sex 1st and 4most afterall.

i'd respect him more if he just took a riff from one of his old "nasty" songs and just did an instrumental take, or just sung one of the less nasty verses or something and turned it into a jam. there's nothing wrong with that. his old "dirty" stuff had some great stuff going on musically. repurpose it so people are appreciating the music and not the words. i think godding them up makes it even more distracting.

OMG people, they are just words. This has always bothered me about society. I can't believe how somehow we think words can be evil or wrong. I mean I certainly understand it when it comes to racial slurs but beyond that, a word is a word. most of the people who make such a big deal out of them are christians (which I am too) but these words didn't even exist in Jesus' time. I mean who sat around a table and said this word, that one and that one are bad. Cursing is wrong, but I take cursing to mean hateful, hurtful language. Why is it that in this society we can say whatever we want not matter how cruel or manipulative but as long as we don't use one of six or seven arbitrarily selected words it doesn't matter. It's all about self expression and context. If P is mad and he feels like saying, these are the motherfuckin days of wild, then he should let it out and be real.
And people say well it just sounds so unintelligent, like those are the only words people know, please, how many times do we say the word "the" it doesn't make us unintelligent. No artist or comedian, except for a few that are really bad, has ever walked on stage and said nothing but shit fuck suck my dick. We should stop trippin on words, and start thinking about meaning. We really need to take a minute to reevaluate things when we are so distracted by a word that we can't hear the meaning behind it.

Prince should be whom he is. They are just words.

I'd be fine with it. Some songs just sound silly w/o the cuss words (e.g. we don't give a duck...), he should just not sing it instead of saying that. I'd love hear some "motherfuckin' Days of Wild." Although I could live without "I sincerely want to fuck the taste out of your mouth."

I won't lie, I'd be grinning from ear to ear if he cursed again. That would mean that we would hear songs like Erotic City, Sexy MF, the real Days of Wild, Head and Darling Nikki live again. That's my reasons. By faith, it will happen again.

it's weird, i'm just listening to DOW from Crystal Ball and listening to him swearing so freely just sounds so out of place. If he started again i'd be gutted, there's no need + i couldn't play a new cd to my 5 year old kids who love him!.[they get just as excited when a new cd comes out!!]
