Laughter brings us all closer to the universality of Prince's figurative umbilical cord

Those who do not understand are probably MJ fans infiltrating the safe confines of Prince fandomness.

Imago said:

If they are then what do u suggest they are hoping to accomplish by such an infiltration? Perhaps they are hoping to take some DNA?

I would hope fashion and beauty tips, cause lawd knows that ilk needs it.

MJ and his fans are like slow moving fashion disaster train wrecks. I say that with love and spiritual compassion.


Don't you agree? They're --not like Prince fams.

Strangely enough last night I dreamed I was in a JW prayer meeting with Prince. I'm not a JW, but they seemed to want to initiate me. Prince wanted me to roll around in some sort of egg mixture. I told him not with my Sunday clothes on So he gave me a tour of the Hall. It was spiritually weird.

Oh my fucking god...

My wife had never seen a picture of Robert Smith from the Cure but had already fallen in love (that pre-teen love) with him through his voice. Spiritual connection? No. Emotional connection? Yes.

Shame this thread couldn't have been left alone by those that got it so we could sit back and watch those who hadn't And snigger.

Nice to see someone else waking up and smelling the humus. Don't agree with the God bit mind you. But my take that there is no god is another thing altogether (purely based on overwhelming lack of evidence).

I couldn't possibly believe in a 'spiritual connection' as I do not believe there to be a spirit. If I were to take the question seriously of course. Which I don't.

One time I got so high my mind was opened to life's answer and I felt at one with the universe. By the morning I'd lost it.

I often feel a stirring of the soul when I see Girls Aloud perform, Imago. Does that count? Well I say soul but what I mean is giblets.

I had two weird dreams last night. They segued a little. The latter was most bizarre and featured my wee all over a toilet seat (due to an erection), the frying of pooh-sausages (they were my poohs but there were six of them and they looked like a cross between really tasty sausages with the skins on and kabanos), my daughter sitting on said toilet seat despite my wee warning and then the arrival of her boyfriend who sat on the toilet (daughter was off it by then) whilst I was frying the 'sausages'. I was highly embarrassed at that point and was shouting to Annie to come save the situation. Oh the frying was taking place in the toilet. Which was a very small room indeed and at the top of a long flight of stairs (possibly the middle floor as another staircase led up from the landing).

On my wife's and daughter's lives I swear that's the truth too.

If anybody would like to 'spiritually connect' with me send me an Orgnote.

PS: My wife said it would be best to not say anything about the dream to anyone. But you lot don't really count

Genre bending. Innovative. Controversial. And overall absolute genius, Prince can take anything .. I mean anything!!!! and express it with equal parts eloquence and shocking vulgarity.


Prince has never been one to shy away from controversy. Obviously, this whole lawsuit business lately is proof of that. Even if he's stopped cursing, and singing about having sex with virgins who are on the rag, he still knows how to stir stuff up.

But there was a time when his music was what ilicited all the responses. When it spoke for itself. No need for wearing assless pants, no need to make outlandish statements on magazines and other means--you could just get it from a record.

But one thing that always struck me was that Prince juxtaposed all manner of subjects, otherwise blush worthy to any other musician, effortlessly and with no sense of shame or embarassment whatsoever. It was like he pulled his nuts out of his silky lace panties and said, "Look bitches--check these hairy bad boys out. I may strut around in lace women's underwear, but I overflow with machismo!"...then boomerang his pumps at cha.

Anyways, sex, love, and spirituality -- these things are always pitted against each other in strange dualistic battles on his albums. but when viewed from afar, Prince is actually treating all these as one continuam. They are just different colors of his passion. He went from one end to the other with his songs.

Speaking of the other end, one of the things he seems to have an obsession with is the female hind quarters--perhaps even male, but that's always up for debate. But you always hear him talking about "ass" but never what he wants to do with it. It's as if he's not totally confortable with that region of the human body.
One could probably reckon that this was due to some repressed latent homosexual fantasy that was surfacing but being stiffled before it could shine in all its glory, but I propose that Prince was probably just revealing how hygenic and sometimes prissy he could be. The anus, after all, is more difficult to keep clean than vaginas and penises. Sure, Prince could easily say "I sincerely want to fuck the taste out of your mouth", but you'd never catch him say "I sincerely want to slush the poop in your ass with my dick"--There's a line that even Prince wont cross, especially if it involves hygiene.

His obsession with hygiene is apparent in his interview with Oprah Winfrey. When she asked him if he always dressed nice, he replied, "On a normal day I'm clean". Now obviously, he's being hip with lingo here, cause being "clean" also means to look sharp, but let's not kid ourselves here--Prince loves double meaning. He obviously means that on a normal day he keeps his ass fresh.

But if you think about it, the asshole or anus is just the other opening of a very long tube leading to your mouth. And in between there's digestion. Digestion of the words, the ideas, the very visualizations that flow throughout his work. Even when he says "Dont hate me cause Im beautiful", he says it like he's got food in his mouth. He goes further in that very same song (Pretty man) and says "Maceo--can U blow?" , which again HAS A DOUBLE MEANING! Always with the double meaning. But you can also hear this in many many songs. In Poom Poom Poom, he sings the chorus as if he's taking a massive dump, and he even does the Poom Poom rap like he's chewing on something. Its as if ALL bodily functions are not sacred to Prince. They're all worthy of expression.


And express he does. It was said once in some magazine that where Marvin Gaye cracked the bedroom door open a wee bit with "Let's Get it On", Prince tore that bitch off it's hinges!

Thank you for that delightful visual.

oh my goodness! i just had another spiritual connection with prince moments! it was about 4:00 a.m. and i was driving around uptown, watching the way the golden leaves look falling in the muted glow of the streelight and suddenly this brisk wind kicks up and leaves and papers and newspapers and plastic bags and tinsel - it's all flying around on the wind around my car like suddenly i'm on the inside of a snowglobe, only more its like a bits and pieces of crap globe - anyway the wind just picked up this plastic roundy's bag and slapped it upside a tree in a kind of profile way and when i looked at it again with my eyes squeezed almost shut it looked exactly like that album cover. gold experience i think. that just CAN'T be a coincidence
