Those are some really vague statements. What exactly qualifies as "growing and expanding"? How exactly has Prince "come full circle"? I hate people who use that kind of vague, cliched argument because they appear more valid than they really are. Also, how do my accomplishments relate to a criticism of Prince? Are you implying that someone should not criticize somebody else unless their own achievements are comparable to the subject of criticism? By that specious logic, nobody who hasn't been president should criticize Bush.

I think Prince has fallen a long way in the last 10 years. He's given us really boring albums with a few exceptions. I certainly wouldn't be a fan on the strength of his last few albums alone. They've actually made me lose faith in his songwriting talents. He probably realizes his loss of talent. If PE had been a huge success, you can bet he wouldn't contemplate retirement.

...Prince has said that he will retire on his 50th Birthday...

Please explain, I thought they were already taken care of through divorce. Why would he have 2 continue taking care of these grown women?

Future Baby Momma was playing on 104.1 ATL.
Tom Joyner comes on after the song and states that Prince has said that he will retire on his 50th Birthday.

I heard this too but to tell you how screwy they got their info, Tom had no clue that Prince was already in London doing shows and hasnt Prince been there most of the last 2 months? But on a quick Tom Joyner rant regarding Prince, I hate the fact that they rarely give Prince is due on that show, yea he books Morris Day every year but he doesnt give Prince the proper respect for a DJ who is supposed to be "old school" and "funky"

Don't believe the hype!

P lives & breaths music. The only way he'd stop what he was put in this world to do is if he ceases to exist and even after that he will still live on in our hearts.

Yes, and then he makes a comeback when he's 50 and a half.

Thank God. He's done enough damage to his legacy for the last 10 years or so.

In all seriousness, the only thing that worries be is Prince's obsession with

his image. He looks fantastic now. But what happens when he shows more of the

signs of aging? Could this possibly play on his mind? In other words, does

Prince want to go out on top of his game (image wise) or is he alright letting

people see him age. That's the only thing that worries me when there's any talk

of retirement. And you can't go back, but I regret the fact

that he could have done so much more in the nineties when he was still in his

prime.

Prince is gonna keep the party moving until he can't hold a guitar anymore because performing and music is in his soul and age ani't gonna have a darn thing to do with it, true fans don't give a hoot about how old he is cause with age comes wizdom and I've been around to watch him mature and mellow into the man he is now. If this is any indication of who he'll be in his coming years, I say bring it on!
