Is Prince a Black Diamond? I was watching the History channel, on the formation of diamondz...and in the music business...Prince has drilled through a challenge based on the time of his lifespan in the heart of musical growth.

As these black diamonds are formed to become strong enough to cut through rock...so has, as an analogy, Prince...cut through musical history.

He's as tough, brilliant and rare as a black diamond

But don't those diamonds just get better with age, or do they start to decline after Lovesexy?

I think he's a human being but I may be wrong...

Tame said:

Often imitated, but never duplicated!!!! Just like Highlander, There Can Be Only One!!!!

Ain't he more of a yellow diamond?


Nice analogy, though.

Ironically, that was the name of one of my bands.

you know.. i would love to crack a joke bout' this here.. but as serious as folks get over Prince, his ethnic background n his parents.. u cant joke about this subject..

Sure, why not.

It's strange how I dislike some of his music when I first hear it, then after hearing it over and over I become dazzled by the brilliance in his music.. Therefore I can relate to the Diamond analogy...

Flowerz, are telling this to Imago or to me? I was laughing at the goofiness of Imago's post. I respect Prince's African-American heritage and ethnicity. It is no joking matter to me.

oh no.. that's not personally for you.. was maybe 2 weeks ago that someone started a thread about Prince's mother in Purple Rain.. that thread had to be deleted cause of the insults some orgers threw @ each other..

Thankx Flowerz...It is really quite a unique time in history...isn't it? Our generations have lived through such a rapid development.

Prince's musical and spiritual immortality amazes me. I adore him...and I give Prince so much credit for laying some laws in music. Some technical laws...and some divine laws too.

We are fortunate to live along side of Prince in this age of music...

he's every Gem in The Book.
