The other day i read a few of the discussion page about the Wikipedia Prince article & it says

Legally Blind?
This article says that "It is a well kept secret that Prince has been legally blind since birth, but due to a highly accute sense of hearing, Prince is able to see the world through a sort of radar that he developed at the Minneapolis school for the blind."

this just sounds like a crock. is there ANY source on this?

I have seen him wear glasses, and you can be labelled "blind" even if you can see but your vision is badly impaired. But seeing how I'm not his optician I don't think it should be on there. Darrenhusted 09:07, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
That does sound kind of strange, like the part where it make him sound like a super hero. unless someone can find a source it should be removed.Anthraxrulz 09:53, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

It's been removed now anyway so this discussion is moot. Darrenhusted 16:45, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
Well, I wouldn't be abject to refering to Prince as a superhero. But hearsay isnt for the wiki, so out with the blind stuff, and the hero stuff.

Here is the link:

I can't believe that someone (if not many people) actually CONSIDERED the possibility of this being true!!!

WTF!!!

its true. mr glass told me so

WTF!

Prince Legally Blind ? I dont think so.

"Prince is able to see the world through a sort of radar that he developed at the Minneapolis school for the blind"



I think they are mixing him up with Daredevil.

luv4u

Maybe this why he never answered my letters.

I shoulda written them in braille.

Everyone knows that Daredevil is taller than 5'2".

From the actual article: Amazingly, Prince somehow managed to keep his real name a secret from everybody throughout the eighties. By 1990, his real name began to get publicly leaked. He wanted everyone to believe that his real name was Prince Rogers Nelson after the Prince Rogers Trio, his parent's jazz band. The truth is that his real name is simply Roger Nelson

What?? how does this thing stay online?

What ? isnt it confired his legal name IS Prince Rogers Nelson ?

That'd explain some of the clothing choices! lol lol.

I love that. That's better than some of the stuff on his UNcyclopedia article.

Just edit it. That's the point with Wikipedia. the whole article sucks anyway, with as much material 4 2004-2007 than 4 1958-2003

Prince can play 962 different instruments, and can blow a trumpet with his ass while blindfolded and filling out his tax return



Too funny!
