WTF???? is this a joke or did that complaint above state "this image only made him look extemely large which made the rest of us feel small, and unable to perform this evening?"
falloff
and oh come on, I cannot take the "it made my son gay" comment seriously either- Prince related or not. Should we really be talking about this?

Dear FCC:

I have several complaints regarding the choice of the musical artist, "the Prince", for the Super Bowl game.

First of all, I can't stop pretending that my guitar is an extension of my penis and I blame Prince.

I also refuse to go anywhere without having two untalented twins gyrate spasmodically behind me. Damn that Prince guy!

And I cannot believe how bad my genital warts have gotten since the "performance" of the alleged "herbivore".

I must insist that CBS bring a wholesome group like Survivor or Men Without Hats next year to the Super Bowl contest next year.

Sincerely,

A Concerned Viewer


PS: My dog won't stop humping stuff since the Super Bowl.

I don't see it having anything to do with race. Sports and it's followers have always had some of the most homophobic people I have seen in my life. I knew they would see Prince as gay and I was hoping he would look gayer than he has ever looked in his entire career at that particular event as sort of a way to give the motherfuckers the finger if they don't like it.

The fact that he rocked hard was great though because they like to classify us as weak little Judy Garland lovers. If Prince had done some weak shit like "Do U Lie" at that show, I would have been ready to personally kick his ass because those dumb jocks would just love to have seen what looks to be a gay person performing what they consider weak music and have a good laugh. Prince beats motherfuckers at their own game and funks and rocks harder than any "straight" person out there. It pisses them off because we aren't the weak stereotypical "sissy" they like to keep us as. That's what I've always loved about Prince.

As I wrote above, it was one of the first things that sprung to mind. And if I had to evaluate my thought process, I guess the whole hub-bub reminded of the "death to disco" stunt in Chicago in the late '70's. While it can be said disco DID suck, it also can be said that it was a form of music that primarily gay folks were into. And THAT incident had crazy racial undertones. To me. Nary a person of color to be seen in that stadium.

Besides, you know ain't no way in satan's red hell is a Brotha gonna be talking about how he found it hard to "perform" after Prince's performance. evillol

Hmm let's see... 150 complaints about Prince... hundreds of thousands complaints about Janet Jackson... do these dam "fans" get offended when players are arrested for domestic violence or worse? Or do they just have issue with the halftime music?

There are really people still whining about this? I think it's cute in a strange sort of way.

Prince obviously turned these folks on...probably for the first time in their sad little lives...and they just don't know how to handle it.

Think about it...most of us here have loved Prince for years...hell decades even...we're use to him turning us on but for Jane and John AverageJoe to witness Prince in all his magnificent glory like that probably stirred up some juices they didn't even know they had! lol

Crazyness, The show was great, I have 4 children and they watched it numerous times. Made me think of this story.


A young boy an older man and a donkey go on a journey.

The young boy decides to ride upon the donkeys back
as they entered into a town.

The people in the town all said “ Look at that poor boy taking advantage of that donkey and making that old man walk!”

As they went along further and entered another town , the old man decided to ride the donkey for a bit.

As they entered into this town...

The people all looked and said “ Look at that old man taking advantage of that donkey while the poor boy walks”

Well, they continue their journey they both decided to ride upon the donkeys back and as they entered into another town.

The People said “ Look at that old man and young boy taking advantage of that poor donkey!”

And a bit further down the road they decided to walk. Passing through the last town walking beside the donkey.

The people in the town said “ Look at that young boy and old man walking beside that donkey? Those fools should be taking advantage of riding it!”

Point: There is always someone to complain!

Exactly. Disco was one of the best forms of music ever. It's because of disco that I first got into music and disco's influence stayed around in music many years after it's official "death". It's when music got as far away from disco as possible in the 1990s (the slow ass midtempo undanceable stuff that ruled the era) that I started bitching about music.

This is so true of the world today -- to make a quick judgment based on seeing just a snapshot of someone's life. And then you go to court over this stuff and they say, "Were you or were you not riding the donkey? Yes or No? Answer the question!!! YES or NO?!" Uh...

By the way, if you see me on the highway trying to get in front of you... let me in, because I was probably the same person who moved over to give you room to get on the highway in the first place, you just didn't see that part.

I guess I coulda been a bit clearer.

I dig some disco. But as with ANY music, there's good and bad. So yeah, IAintTheOne, some disco sucked buddy. wink

And secondly, I find it quite interesting that you, vainandy, are such a staunch supporter of disco seeing as you also claim to be a lover of the funk, the anti-disco.

Also in the same vein, you're a Hip Hop hater. And I recall when folks tried to lump it in with disco as a fad, which disco eventually proved to be. hmmm

Funk is far from being anti-disco. Really, disco was simply funk at a faster tempo. Disco was very funky. Also, when disco died, funk was the closest sounding thing to it. That's why I got into funk in the first place. If disco hadn't died, I would have never gone searching for something similar and would still be listening to pop radio instead of R&B radio.

Listen to stuff like "Firecracker" by Mass Production. That is funk that was definately influenced by disco. Also, songs like "Let It Whip" by The Dazz Band that came out three years later after disco's death, still wind up on disco compilations that were made by people that don't know a hill of beans about disco or funk. Yet, they do sense that disco influence in the song. They just don't seem to have the knowledge about the time period that disco "died".


Also in the same vein, you're a Hip Hop hater. And I recall when folks tried to lump it in with disco as a fad, which disco eventually proved to be. hmmm


I loved hip hop in the early years. It was more like disco than funk was. A lot of rap during that time was at a faster "disco tempo" than funk was. It's when hip hop slowed the tempo down and turned to shit hop that I started hating it.

A lot of hip hop had songs that were original and made with instruments from the ground up. When it turned to nothing but a slow weak beat with a sample as the foundation, it turned to shit hop and should have been a fad. However, by then it had major corporations that were going to make sure it stayed alive because it was cheap to make. Also, unlike disco, shit hop was as anti-gay as you could possibly get and dumbasses really love that.

Dear FCC:

Since my previous complaints were ignored I have decided to write you again.

First of all, my dog is still humping everything and I can know longer invite company over, all because of Prince.

Secondly, I find myself craving vegetable medleys all the time, which I blame on Prince.

C, I find myself strangely attracted to shadow animals. I can no longer see someone make a shadow bunny on the wall without becoming aroused in my groinal region.

Fourthly, I have suffered multiple burn injuries as I have recently taken my electric guitar into the shower figuring that if Prince, a noted HOMOSAPIEN, could play in the rain, than I damn well could play "Freebird" in the shower. When I get out of the ICU I may make a visit to your headquarters.

Better post my twocents before this gets locked, but I can't helped but think this "attack" has nothing NOTHING to do homosexuality, and more to do with race. It's hilarious, 'cause I believe they're using Prince alleged gayness as a spearhead. The fact that this lil' black dude ROCKED the house has some folks pissed.




flame on



I never saw it as a race thing. I saw it more as people remembering all the weird things Prince has done in the past, and still wanting to alienate him for it. They want to keep him in exile for changing his name to a symbol, and acting moody and reclusive. I don't think Lenny Kravitz would be getting these kind of complaints, because he hasn't done the strange career moves Prince has.


BINGO! I totally agree with this one...
