okay. i still don't know what this means but I'll leave it alone.

Dayclear said:

Yep, you'll get tall tales !

sounds like a cool read...but sounds like it could b more balanced with a few more funnies thrown in with the dirt.
can't begin 2 imagine the great untold...

i remember saying the same thing too that the author focused a lot on the negatives that were happening in throughout P's life. he actually made himself look like a catty little bitch. Plus there were some contradictions but i cant remember what they were.
and many of the interviews were just lifted from interviews already published in other resources. i remember reading them through out the course of Prince's career. I mean, at the front of the book, look at the long list of people who declined to give interviews. That was pretty much most if not all of Prince's associates or former associates.

even tho there are many interesting moments that help explain Prince's career, it was definitely a way for someone to make a quick buck. i sold the book in my house sale.

fcukthepolice said:

sorry jeffiner. mind if i take this one?

fthe police: why do u consider prince's spiritual journey abusive behaviour?

fcukthepolice said:

I don't! We've discussed this already, too many times. All your posts say the same thing, you've made your point, we've all taken it on board, can we move on?

i say somethin nice, for a change lol. and f the police all up in our faces with 'prince dont care about you'. i'd call that abusive behaviour. and mutha, i dont tolerate it at all.

if ur mother didnt love u right, then let me lol cuz honey i got some lovin here that'll make u cry

can u handle it?

Jeffiner said:

we are talking about possesed which is honestly critical of prince so it is relevant

fcukthepolice said:

u made the comment at me sir. rents due cuzzin.

fcukthepolice said:

I can't believe, years later, some people are still freaking out about this book!

NouveauDance said:

For once and all time... the banished ones are the rebellious angels kicked out of heaven!!

Please! TRC is a Genesis to Revelation allegory on the Bible. While we're at it, the woman symbolizes a spiritual nation, the "Jerusalem above" in Revelation... not a literal woman.

Well, Wendy & Lisa did once hint that Lisa actually did
In a 1989 interview where they're asked questions about eachother, Wendy was asked:

Has Lisa ever thumped anyone?

Wendy: Yes. With very good cause. I probably shouldn't say who but this one person... (claps) hallelujah!
Lisa: Shall we give him a hint who?
Wendy: No. They'll have to guess
Interviewer: Er...we wouldn't be talking about Prince here would we?
Then on to the next question....

Seems that most are merely concerned with being critical of him

I guarantee anything I write won't be overly critical. There needs 2b something out there to praises him and at least tries to find "the reason 2 the rhyme"... why he acts the way he does. Rather than tearing him down for it

If anything, his music has always said that it's okay 2b different and strive for individuality.
I say let him do that be different, be unique. You find anyone that brave and confident to take the roads he's taken.

Luckily, I've got the know-how and possibly the drive... so if I don't like what's being said, I'll tell it the way I see it.

Hahahahaha! Thanks for that Virgo. That's made smile harder than when I first read the bit from Possessed!!!

I know there's no fact in it but the thought of it is just as amusing, not that I condone violence!

whitewidow said:

There's nothing spiritual about homophobia or viewing women below men

Mentalist said:



I know excactly what you mean I had the excact same reaction when I first read that W&L interview 19 years ago

Wendy also had an argument with him and called him a "womanising p***k" Oh dear, still makes me smile though!

Jeffiner said:

Defending Sussanah no doubt!

fcukthepolice said:

sure, and what about your comment to me? how would you know who he cares about?
u said he's never cared about another human.. do i sound human to you?

you think coming in here and lashing out a hurtful whip of chip de chip abusive behaviour is gunna alter the flava of the colour of my sound? cuz when it all goes down little darlin baby there's a love inside every person on this earth and even in you too and even the big ole scary dark vampire prince who really really if it please you nearly so much as it do i, is just a chile like you and me and everyone else in the big blue sea of love, so hows about we get a little clarity on the issue of levity and realisin and hopin and keeping on with the knowin that everything is always ok even in your darkest day every hour every minute every second of the blessin that you were even born is a miracle and there's something else that every good elf should know.....our universe was created before you or me or anyone else in the big blue sea came along and we can have all our notions and true love potions and cling to the need to feed off one another as much as we like but in the end its about the giving not the taking the bringing not the faking and even he and me and you and everyone else in the big blue goo of forgetfulness is allowed to look up from time to time even when we miss the sign there'll always be another one to help you out. i'll give up all my lovers if you can make me shout but for now i'm talkin sweet as a whisper on the inner spin of the livin life on the inside of the moment in the heart and with this mind you will find something altogether different than human.

take care baby.

Isn't the book subtitled "The Rise & Fall of Prince?" It'd be logical then to expect the conclusion to include the more negative aspects of Prince's career.

Heiress said:

And you're saying this because it's your work and/or your interpretation is the only valid one?

viewaskew said:

the interpretation is an obvious one; that's all i'm saying.
