Prince makes fun of an older rich lady, having a younger lover in the song "Illusion,coma, pimp & circumctance.
Look who's talking!
Prince has been rocking the craddle and playing the sugar-daddy ever since Mayte. And the age gap between him and his love-interests is getting bigger and bigger. He's almost 50 and dates girls in their early 20's.
Aren't we a little sexist here? Women are portrait as old and ugly, while older men are sexy? I'm not saying Prince isn't sexy, but give us women that are past 25 a chance.
I hope Prince takes his own advice, and lets his next young love-interest put her name on a prenup before they hit the disco.
Older women, please stand up and make some noise!

Experirence u can't beat us older women r sexy 2 take a gander prince we can also drop it like it's HOT! I know "eye" can trust me!

Too right ... let's not be sexist or ageist.

Stand up, grannies and represent.

(BTW .. there's a possibility the characters in ICP & C might be a metaphors)

Metaphors for what?
Please explain!

Prince wants someone who is overawed by him and will allow herself to be bossed around. No woman his own age is gonna stand for that nonsense.

Wonders why the ladies in here still don't get it.

Prince has often made it clear in his lyrics that:

- He doesn't like overweight ladies, he has often been very disrespectfull about women with a bit more 'flesh'.

- He has a weakness for young, insecure 'girls' who he can dominate (unfortunately for him, when they grow older, they look trough his tricks, and start to respect themselves for who they are).

- Altough he tried to convince us with lyrics as 'If i was your girlfriend', he still isn't able to communicate with women on a deep, intimate level. He is holding up a 'facade' and his women have to fit in that roleplay. Not surprising they get tired of all that fakeness and selflimitation after some years.

And yes, its Princes problem, he still isnt 'there'.

i know i'm a one-note sally these days, but i don't care:

prince needs to find himself a betty to his miles.

he needs a woman who can come in, rock his world, remind him a thing or two about being wild (and i don't necessarily mean sexually), dress him up in some badass clothes and be his muse in a transformation that takes him from the tame lite-soul of '3121' to the creator of his very own 'bitches brew'. a woman who can bring in a stack of fresh music and sit him down and say "look fool, this is what makes people's heads spin these days" and make him GET IT.

not that prince is exactly suffering, but if he found that muse, wow. look out.

just dreaming. i know he doesn't like 'em strong willed.

Umm... anxiety, why he needs a woman to bring that stuff out?

A real, selfconscious man finds that kind of things in himselve.

Maybe our little Prince is too spoiled by his own narcism and the women who 'praise' him for that for a few years, just realise in time they are fooling themselves and grow further....

Leaving the narcistic, closehearted Prince behind.

Prince gets those young ones that are star struck by him, he needs that to compensate for his smallness in more ways than height. No mature woman is gonna put up with his crap and even the young ones aren't taking it for too long. "Pimp and circumstance" is a funny song and it's true in some circles. Prince may get a grown up woman one day, but in his heart he'll still be lusting after a girl!

He was robbing the craddle before Mayte - Anna Garcia.

Back in the OLD days and still in some societies, it is common practice for an older man to take a young girl as his bride, She is more fertile and can bear stronger healthier babies who in turn will grow to take over the household when he gets too old. It's been a common practice since biblical times so has having more than one wife, men are not made to be monogamous that's why there is 1 million sperm fighting for one egg. Society has invented these rules.

Don't be a hater! Who says it's about him anyway

WORD!

If I can't say I much blame Prince If I could have my choice why wouldn't I pick young and fine?

Right, I forgot about that one. If he would be the normal Joe Blow, he would be probably one of the child-predators on date-line...But he's Prince, so I guess everyone is ok with that.

wlcm2thdwn said:

I am not trying to be cruel here but
we all know about Mayte's stronger and healthier child. Oh yeah, and where are all these young ones that are really left to take care of Prince when he gets really old? If you have to mention the bible, please be accurate. Only in the old testament could men get away with fucking around. Ever since the 10 commandments, adultery is a no-no! The bible even goes so far as, if a man just lusts after another man's wife, it is just as bad as actually commiting adultery. Adultery is way up on top of the list with commiting murder.
But men will always find a "scientific" reason to justify fucking around.
A man is capable of controlling his urges.He does however have to be willing to do so. Men have a brain that will be able to control their actions. That's the difference between men and animals.

You are exactly the type of woman Prince usually goes after. You are the type of woman that we are discussing here. You only seem to see things on the surface, but that is completely normal at your tender age. When you have a little bit more life experience under your belt you will probably get it. It didn't take Mayte or Mani too long to figure it out, despite of their young age. Guess they had to learn the hard way...

Maybe he would be inspired if people "got it"...when he puts "it".."out"....instead of only understanding what they want, and ignore what he wants to display. And even worse , seeing things that arent there.

GiGi319 said:

does he? says who? fact is, we don't know who he is dating and how old they may be, so there is no basis for your comment.

GiGi319 said:

Artists and businesses?

langebleu said:

i was thinking about that yesterday when i listened to this song
for the first time since 2005.

funny to see a thread about it today

but the whole song seems to be like a metaphore about him and an
unnamed company and artists vs companies in general.

Honey, if you think control is about cooking, I fear for you.

But prince also said in the song "Gett Off" quote "I like em fat I like em proud". I never heard those song that you've stated above but Prince could have just done those songs as a jokey joke. I think he just wrote those kind of songs just cuz he could, not 2 offend or hurt anyone. Hmmm I guess we'll never know unless we ask the man himself. Oh! and which albums r those songs on?
