'sister' is actually a gay slang for feminine homosexuals. Some gay men actually use it to refer to feminine men in general, whether gay or not.

The song , thus, is obviously about Morris and Jerome.

You got that straight, sister.

Daring,classic Prince.I love it,and Dirty Mind was my 4mal introduction 2 Prince.

Imago said:

wouldn't that be 'girl' and not 'sister'? But maybe where you're from. . .
Nor does the song even come close to suggesting he's talking about a gay man.
He'd already written Bambi, so it's not like he's scared to say what he thinks/thought about the subject. 'Old Friends 4 Sale [ the original] doesn't even make such an accusation, and where he would've gotten away with it.)

I've read it interpreted as Sister can take the place of anyone who takes advantage of you.

Imago said:

lmao!

Prince, said apparently a lot of the lyrics on Dirty Mind came from everyday talk in his circle and he wanted a gritty album that reflceted real life. Sister is a shocker, but it could be all made up or about someone else in Prince's inner circle (ie Bandmate) that it could have happened too.
Enough of this gay crap already, I have studied his songs, read books about him and I don't think hes gay, hes the opposite a sexist womaniser, lounge lothario. Besides if he was the victim of incest he hardly displays the trauma, if anything the song makews me laugh evrytime I hear it, the high camp falsetto vocals "Listen motherfxxkers, hes just a motherfxxking kid, cant u unnastan, oh sister don't put me on the street again"

yes because incest with your older sister is much less offensive.

Christopher said:

I love how people reveal their homophobia by taking so much offense to how gay Prince is.

Imago said:

i just find it funny that gay is the worst thing prince could be.but fucking his old ass sister is like okay and stuff.

Christopher said:

Because Incest is comedic fodder afterall isn't it? I mean, ask all the women who were raped repeatedly growing up by their fathers their knee jerk reaction to Prince's light-hearted joke of a song. They'll tell you it's a gas!

Yeah, folks lambaste any discussion of Prince being gay, and what they're really saying is "Prince couldn't possibly be gay because he is a good person."

Imago said:

exactly! co-sign on all that.

prince is to short to be gay anyways. u know he likes to be in control hows he supposed to work the booty?!... on a chair?!

Christopher said:

After seeing the kissing scenes in Purple Rain, even at a young age, I knew Prince was more a man of fantasy than a true life Cassanova.

He'd make a really funny 'bossy bottom' though....I mean, if he were Ghey.

he was all over her like a paint roller.

hes reading all this right now.he crushed his bag of lays chips to a pulp with anger.

Christopher said:

Well, maybe after filing his nails and blowing on them while rolling his eyes, and making his 'sucking lemons' fishy face expressions, he'll have the good sense to go in the Music Studio and make up for the last 10 years.

A song about incest with his father might lighten the mood... I mean, if he can make it as funny as the incest track from Dirty Mind.

like the rhythm, it was cool.

Lyrics made me LMAO

Imago said:

he can do sister duet with like beyonce or something.

Christopher said:

He'd just fuck it up though...


I can see it now.....


I was only 50, and only half a man...
I sister didn't give a goddamn....

awwwww, sister
Awwwww, sister

[cut to Larry Graham and Beyonce interlude.....]

lmao!

"he was onlayyy half a man.....yes he was Oww wooo"

Ah yes, that great tune from Prince's 4th great album.

As I've stated before, this is the closest Prince has come to a Punk Rock song: short, sweet, shocking. Yep, it's Prince in full Punk rock mode. With clean guitars even.

"Sister" rocks!!! And this proved that at one time Prince was the true Punk of R&B.

Christopher said:

I always laugh when I picture Prince redux-ing Purple Rain (the movie) recast with Larry Graham, Chaka Khan, etc. etc.

The jungle love scene would be especially hilarious with Larry and his sidekick, Kirky J. holding a mirror to Larry's face, while Larry combs his bigass mustache

Who is she?

The one thing that I do believe...Is that artist's...People of all kinds...express what is in them, because their soul is of God's expression.

Sometimes we express things, that don't reveal it's personal truth to us, as instruments, until later on.

Sister, In my opinion, is something that very possibly took on a new reality as time passed and Prince learned more about himself as he was a growing artist.

People that look at Prince for what he was at 20 years old or 30, or 49....aren't knowing that He is going to be wiser in 4 minutes.

Before I get jumped on...I can hear Prince now..."4 minutes is over doin' it dontcha think missy? 22 seconds is more in the ballpark." "Now apologize."

I'm sorry Mr. Handsome...I will never insult you like that again, I love you can I get you a purple bananna for breakfast or should I go wash the car?"

Sarai.

Sister the song is a Fart that cries gently
from the ass of His Angel
And stinks up the Place to High Heaven.

Christopher said:

No its aint bout being homophobic as someone said but I get the vibe there are 3 types people that like to think Prince is Gay.

1) Gay people who wanna see him as an icon or fantasise they can get with him.

2) Certain type of Butch Macho man type guys who think that anybody who dress like dat and sing in falsetto has gotta be gay lol.
3) Cetain type females who think same way as above lol.

All in all I think people who think Prince is gay just simply dont get Prince.


"was it make believe am I what you wanted me to be"

All people are designed to love other's even if they are the same sex. Although romantically...is of a specific design...And there is only one person made for you to call your twin. Who that is, that GOD has chosen 4 you...Is what you look for until you find Him or Her. We have all looked for love in the wrong place...and when we do...we find a broken heart. And two by two they came.

Mission 3:16....We're on we're on we're on a mission.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, so those that believe in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. John. Tony Orlando sings this verse better than anyone else on the planet. Amen.
