In a way, that is kind of Prince's charm. He goes about and does his thing and back in the day it was fun, cuz he got challenged more.

To me him getting his own studio was sinking him in a bubble and his music folded in because of that. He could only be fired up when angry (TGE) or had epiphanies (TRC). I want him out of that yay-saying bubble.

Pop!

Oh, btw, I might substitute Rick Rubin by Brian Eno, btw.

HamsterHuey said:

i doubt he could ever create something as sublime as say jill jones or parade but that also has alot to do with youth and the unfettered joy and invicibility youth brings

but yeah TGE and TRC i totally agree with

also THE TRUTH was probably a backlash against commercial decline,construed irrelevance and a tradegy

i guess all art has to reflect or be inspired by something

thats why great comedians cease to be great once they stop living the life they mused on

HamsterHuey said:

but imagine if he had have done a world wide interview blitz to promote his last truly ESSENTIAL album

rather than promote that substandard parp!

jonylawson said:

Uhmmm, I think Prince is actually really proud of all the stuff he put out. Or he would not have promoted it, right? Or put it out?
Everytime I heard Prince talk I just wished he had not, often he just gives interviews when he does not get his way or when he wants to promote the projects that ain't going to get picked up otherwise. I cannot stand another interview with him telling the interviewer about the state of the musical world or the radio, cuz he seems to determined he is right, but he is often just monologueing, the interviewer too scared he is going to walk off if he dares to raise a point.

oh come on u know he cant survive without meaningless women in there too

HamsterHuey said:

im hearing gooey BUT by the time he was promoting and giving interviews the world didnt care and i guess we as fans pretended he was"underground" where the truth was he was releasing and promoting crap music

crap by prince music standards

i just couldnt believe he believed in NPS so much..he definatly went through that period where he was almost bland

i remember wtaching the ESSENCE awards when he did THE CROSS and just


then i knew something was missing from his music and the insprations around him....

but hey its all a journey and probably in the annals of music its one of the most fascinating

prb said:

i just think that aussie and kiwi music is perhaps the worst ive ver heard!!

though the worst offender is kiwi hip hop

jonylawson said:

jonylawson said:

i wont shoot u, u must be listening to the wrong types. im not keen on hip hop either. i prefer 80's oz music. but i do like the Veronicas and the rogue traders- although they arent pub rock.
