I can't stand religious preaching in any form.
"George Bush says he speaks to god every day, and christians love him for it. If George Bush said he spoke to god through his hair dryer, they would think he was mad. I fail to see how the addition of a hair dryer makes it any more absurd."
thought I would add politics to the taboo subject matter at hand!! | |

No. His sprituality in his music is one the reason Prince's music is so unique.He is an artist and sprituality is part of his life. Why is in an issue to sing and write about something that is important to you? Why can't he share that? Some people will love his message and some will not.That's the way the world works. That does not mean he has keep his mouth shut and only write what people want him to write about. It's like people don't want pop stars to have their own belifs. | |

I mean seriously WHEN has he ever "practiced what he preached" I don't know really...if you go by traditional Christianity some of the things he does aren't really accepted if you know what I mean | |

I absolutely love that speech from Anna Stesia but it has nothing to do with the spiritual message. I love how he starts off by saying that we shouldn't concentrate on our differences but instead champion our similarities. Then in the next breath he's saying, haha, look at all you suckers up in the bad seats, you're not in our club, come and join our club and you get good seats.
It always cracks me up, you gotta love our little Prince and his consistency. RIP  | |

No after all The Word, Beautiful,Loved and Blessed and Get On The Boat on 3121 may be preachy songs with a message...but Prince preaches in style Everybody's looking 4 the ladder
Everybody wants salvation of the soul The steps U take are no easy road But the reward is great 4 those who want 2 go | |

syble said: 'preaches' - i dont care for that much, but singing about his beliefs is okay with me as long as the music is good and the lyrics are well written.
It bothers me he won't make up his mind. Saint or Sinner Saint or Sinner Saint or Sinner Saint or Sinner..... We all want a big hit again because
we want to relive the Hysteria & Pandemonium we experienced when Purple Rain was Hot. Actually, he doesn't care if it happens again or not. | |

IS IT REALLY PREACHING OR SPREADING/sharing THE WORD? | |

It didn't bother me at all back in the days when he was mainly talking about his own, personal form of spirtuality (even though I am a non-believer). It was clear his message was unique and not just regurgitation of religious dogma.
Since the JW thing though, his spiritual message (if I can put it that way) has lost all that sponteneity and vibrancy. He just spiels out a load of stuff that someone else has written. It's not that I mind him having a religious viewpoint and talking about it, I just think it has effected the quality of his work and has removed the sparkle from his lyrics. His lyrics have become dull and staid... "He that will not reason is a bigot; he that cannot reason is a fool; and he that dares not reason is a slave." - William Drummond | |
