I really feel for Prince as he has lost both his parents, his son, two divorces and he doesn't own his past songs. He must feel very lonely.

What do you mean change your name...

I think we all have Prince scars...everytime someone says he's gay, or overrated, or has lost his mojo, or isn't sexy, isn't a genius....take your pick. I always defend him with humor but most of my circle and family know not to get me started. One day maybe they will get it, but one of the biggest frustrations is that most people won't, even after he's finished sharing his gift with us and that is sad.

The Police Synchronicity Ii Lyrics

Another suburban family morning
Grandmother screaming at the wall
We have to shout above the din of our Rice Crispies
We can't hear anything at all
Mother chants her litany of boredom and frustration
But we know all the suicides are fake
Daddy only stares into the distance
There's only so much more that he can take
Many miles away something crawls from the slime
At the bottom of a dark Scottish lake

Another industrial ugly morning
The factory belches filth into the sky
He walks unhindered through the picket lines today
He doesn't think to wonder why
The secretaries pout and preen like cheap tarts on a red light street
But all he ever thinks to do is watch

And every single meeting with his so called superior
Is a humiliating kick in the crotch
Many miles away something crawls to the surface
Of a dark Scottish Loch

Another working day has ended
Only the rush-hour hell to face
Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes
Contestants in a suicidal race
Daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance
He knows that something somewhere has to break
He sees the family home now looming in his headlight
The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache
Many miles away there's a shadow on a door
Of a cottage by the shore
Of a dark Scottish lake
Many miles away

Some one need a hug or something

Or some anti-depressants

if hes lonely or unhappy its his choice. god or life gave him A LOT and hes smart enough to enjoy it. there millions of people with real miserable lifes out there.

I watched the news ealier. Really wouldn't want to be an Iraqi or Afghan at the moment. Or North Korean for that matter. Or Sudanese. In fact given the choice I'd plump for 'millionaire lifestyle plus child loss and racial issues' over rape, oppresion, fear and poverty of, say top of my head, someone from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Scars? Yeah right.

Not that I'm saying that Prince's or the child's mum's pain is something to not care for, just that there are greater things you could grieve for and, perhaps, make a difference to. I'm not gonna, but you could.

Oh my God! You haven't been breaking into people's houses and eating their porridge and sleeping in their beds have you!? Shame on you! Umm, what do you look like? If you're fit you can break into my house and sleep in my bed if you like...

feel a touch of sympathy but dont be scarred..cripes, if i was to start feeling upset for everyone who had a bad deal in the wrold i'd be a depressed person. stop and pull yourself together for goodness sake. This is fanism gone loony.

Well I meant I feel for his loss as in general sympathy that you would have for anyone, I guess I better clairfy I don't have scars or am hurt like the orginal poster, I was just reflecting on what he has been through. Regardless of millions of people out there suffering who don't have his fame and wealth, loss of a child and or/ parents is real pain for anyone, regardless of who they are and that loss shouldn't be played down and compared to the suffering of others.

A hug, antidepressants or...maybe...a life.

I had my hip replaced just to be like him.

That left a scar.

I could write a novel...but like Prince says, sometimes the words of another seem to work out fine...so...

Joy and Pain, are like Sunshine and Rain.....MAZE.

I don't have a one.
But I do have a birthmark that looks a little like George Burns.

With, but only when I'm sporting an erection.

can you post it?

Not without getting slapped with a lawsuit from the Burns Family Estate.

he's got that big scar on his left side where they separated him from his siamese twin at birth.

imo he's still traumatized about that, or else why would he always be using the 'twin' symbology in his work??

Do you know what I think?

That you all ain't got nothing to do!!

I'm gonna have a short break from the Org. Maybe there will be a fresh wind on the Org in a few weeks and some more positive noises.

There surely is an overload of useless threads and posts in here.

See ya.
