His life is a dissapointment to me. His music couldn't be more the opposite for me.

But his life is a private issue. It's none of my business that he has 2 failed marriages, womanized his whole life until his testosterone levels drop due to middle age, and he passes it off a celibacy. I say lust dies with age thats what. Also the fact that he was (probably, according to pre-2001 lyrics, if he even believed in a word he said) getting to know the Lord until he was lead astray by a cult. People have found their way out of cults with the help of his music. What a waste. I hope he isn't done growing and changing because I sure as hell don't want to see end here. I only care about his personal life because his music is SO GOOD that their must be a great person in there, somewhere.

I am more inspired by my own life than his.


maybe his wives were too young for him, ive always wondered that, they both were like almost 20 years younger than him. Maybe he needs someone around his own age?? but what do i know...

He needs someone his own age, that looks and acts as young as him. Hard to find.

His music got me through a very bad time in my life when I was going through a bad divorce from an abusive ex.


his music does..i grew up in a abusive home, most of it directed at me, so listening to (mostly) his music helped me.. i always felt there were 'dont give in' messages there..sort of...had the ability to calm me and not hate...
like someone playing with your hair...

for U.. hug..

over.
sun 'why y'all trying to say goodbye? I didn't go anywhere, I'm right here, im all around you,always..' sun

in a line from my dream, I heard a voice and saw a silhouette in a chair..

Don't know Prince from Jack other than through his music and media and yes many, many boots. Don't know about his life being an inspiration but the way he attacks life is inspiring to me.

His work ethic and discipline is the number one thing that impresses and inspires me. It's impressive when a person commits 100% of their life and energy fearlesly towards one thing with passion, focus and regardless of opinions, successfully. Whether one measures success by money, fame or self realization, he's done it his way and I find that inspiring.

I just relaized, I should chage careers and become a publicist. biggrin

Yes. His life and his music are inspirational. Prince seems to have faced many challenges, but he's retained his integrity and has overcome and surpassed.

His music teaches us that with love and faith you too can conquer and that's very inspirational especially in today's times.

Love hug

his music has been an inspriation 4 me, the ability 2 learn those instruments. some of his spirtual messages have been a very helpful inspiration as well.
man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81

I HATE this thread title because it assumes that Prince's life has inspired all of us, when, in reality, IT HASN'T. Speak for yourself.
