3. Losing His Religion

Don’t look for Prince to join will.i.am and other musicians backing Barack Obama anytime soon.

In this fiery political climate, Prince opted to voice the fact that his faith will be keeping him from the polls. The Purple One recently spoke up about his religion, saying, "Being a Jehovah's Witness, I don't celebrate birthdays or holidays. I don't vote."

Rebel Talking… Lemme find out being a Jehovah’s Witness allows you to wear assless pants, but keeps you from casting a vote.

No he won't be.

good, who would want to play with that list of lame 'musicians'

No he not!!

if he doesnt vote i dont want to hear him bitch moan and groan about anything wrong in the world, thats for sure..

Like all ur votes count... Purlease.

What a stupid thread!

Dayclear said:

stupid.. why ?

No more "Dear Mr. Man" songs for me. Writing a song like that and not voting is just so hypocritical. When you're religion tells you not to vote, something is definitely wrong with that IMHO.

Dayclear said:

I agree. We've had enough of these threads pop up in the last week and we don't need anymore of them. So Prince won't vote, that's him but what about YOU? Like Prince said "Mind ur own motherfucker let a man be a man." Worry about who YOU will be voting for and then get your ass in that voting booth next month and do YOU. Simple as that.

I am Purplecam and I approve of this message.

dont vote ? lazy easy cop out

eggZACKly prince has the nerve to go off on social ills, cultural probloems. he takes a stand agains this and that but when we actually need his help with making it happen he is nowhere to be found?

vote for obama or shut up and sit down, p. i mean this in the nicest possible way

Yes, I think it's disappointing on so many levels but just because he doesn't vote does not mean that he cannot actively participate or develop some humanitarian efforts to combat homelessness, hunger, and poverty. Does P currently have a foundation to aid in such efforts?

Empress said:

How is Mr Man hypocritical? "Ain't no sense in voting..."

Prince is a passionate anti-voting campaigner.

Right on!!

Dsoul said:

Oh please. It's his religion that's told him not to vote and that is pure bullshit. Look at it this way....if there was no sense in voting, who do you think would be running in this election right now? It sure as hell wouldn't be Obama! People actually voted for him.....get it??

did prince ever vote in the past? i don't know. does he vote now? i don't care.

what i care about from prince is his music, the rest is up to him.

Empress said:

Some would say that the only reason we have elections is to make us think we actually have a choice. This is the point Prince is making in "Dear Mr. Man". Politicians are more the same than different.....

I cast my vote 4 Purplecam!

sexxydancer said:

Thank you for your vote.

P has nothing to worry about. He's loaded, living comfortably and the economy probably doesn't affect him like it would for someone else (living from paycheck to paycheck). So he doesn't have to vote.

Not saying it's right, but it's his choice.

Hahahaha!

The ass-less pants happened before he became a JW!

morons...
Just replace Bush with the Kenyan or the fossil, same deal...
The sheep think they're taking part and making change - as if the end result wasn't already predetermined - fools...
