'come and play with my affections'

(1 Peter 4:4) . . .Because YOU do not continue running with them in this course to the same low sink of debauchery, they are puzzled and go on speaking abusively of YOU.

You know something? I for one am tired of the little divo's attitude about tape recorders and all that mess. child needs to get a grip on reality.

Actually, I just wish that he would have a change of heart. I can't be a supporter of his any more, but I don't wish him anything but the love he is trying to find. I wish him the love he doesn't want to show to some of his fans.

I got one question to ask. If Prince is being so bigoted with his views, why are a good number of you in here being just as bigoted as he may be because he believes in a faith you don't subscribe to? Let's say you're an atheist, you wouldn't want someone to call you and your beliefs "shit" would you? You don't fight fire with fire you know. Just my 2 cents on what I see in here and it's quite sad.

true true true.

im against killing babies that have no rights because their parents are irresponsible or just selfish (abortion in 96% of cases) and im the bad person.

im against homophobic criminals like che guevara and im the one that is an evil person.

its amazing...

1) A lot of journalists are Bible-believing Christians.
2) I'm not sure how Prince saying, "I didn't say that," establishes that a seasoned journalist and professor misquoted Prince.
3) Prince for years has resisted allowing interviews with tape recorders and notepads. And, given his history of promising one thing and doing the opposite, I'd say the odds are Miss Hoffman probably got it all right.

do you really know what's in his heart and you're basing this on same vague message where he said he was misquoted? even if he has his views on a lifestyle, does that mean he hates you or does not have love for you? if you choose to not support then i could dig that, but i just don't think Prince hates anyone. i just think he's misinformed, he needs to be educated (if this quote is true). i guess he hates Wendy then.

well, i am trying to keep an open mind about the soup issue. first because i doubt god would ever condemn gay people just for eating soup, and second because i think it is all hype for prince's new album, the Soup Connection. anyways, that's what i heard on the internets

union119 said:

I am reminded of a JOTY show that I went to see in Pittsburgh in 96'.
During the show Prince decided to scold a reporter who had printed a faxed interview with Prince that was published the day before where Prince said something like "I dislike record companies and the people that work for them.."
Prince stated during the concert that the interviewer was false and that "I dislike no one...get it right Tony!" Tony Norman, a very well respected journalist for the Post Gazette, in an article several days later responded by standing behind every word because everything Mr. Norman printed in the article was directly from Prince and Paisley Park Enterprises.

You are right UNION119. Prince would not take responsibility for the comments he made anyway. God forbid he would admit to such a gaffe. I wish he would clear the air about these comments though. He either means them/said them/alluded to them or didn't. I strongly feel he did. I'm not shocked or even surprised that Prince woud feel this way about gay rights. That's what religion does to so many people. It clouds sensible judgement and makes so many self-righteous bigots.
It wasn't terribly long ago when black people and women didn't have equal rights,either.

Misquoted, did not say what he meant, and left us guessing.

thanks2joniandu said:

cheers. i think most of us grown folk know he's never taken responsibility for anything he's ever said or done to hurt people..or whatever.

he is an unconscionable liar, consumate ass-coverer and entirely glib in his reasoning.

i am only sorry his public image of princely saint and savior has so many fans entranced in delusional thinking.

hopefully one day people will realise there is a very big difference between the public image Prince has invented..

and who he really is.

i'm sure he means well lol, but stupidity and a loose mouth last longer than good intentions.

men with a backbone fess up to their mistakes. unfortunately, Prince is lilly-livered in this regard.

great music though.

union119 said:

yep, his great music & good qualities far outweigh his bad behaviour, & i can feel a bad experience with a reporter/gay issues/yogapants inspired song on the way

i'm sure they do for a lot of people

but i'm not one to make excuses for his behavior in order to justify my level of fandom.

heaven forbids me to con myself so deeply as to believe that a man's talents have more weight than his actions.

union119 said:

your loss! ever heard of 4giveness? it might help ...

lottielooloo1968 said:

forgiveness had only ever helped Prince continue his charade.

he takes full advantage of it.

its got nothing to do with holding a man accountable for his own mistakes.

Anxiety said:

lol

Everyone in here is misquoting me too!!! Why can't I just MEAN what I SAY?

its "say what i mean" - so you still havin trouble speaking lol

It's the flu and cold season. It makes me funny speak.

he really needs to get over the tape recorder thing, hell have one of your own but have some respect for journalistic process. if he dont wanna talk dont allow people over, he's 50 years old he should be past oppositional defiance. if you try to hinder people from doing their jobs effectively these things will continue to happen.

if i were interviewing him i'd ask him if there were any fields of employment other than making music that he has respect for.at least enough respect to understand how the writers profession is connected to what he is doing.

i interview boxers all the time they are totally cool with the need for tape recordings because they know i'm responsible to my editor. they also know that in the "hurt" business feelings are fragile and they dont want anyone misquoting them. To think that men who hit one another for a living are more reasonable than prince is hilarious LOL

Anxiety said:

Okay that image sums up exactly how I feel about the WHOLE THING! There's just nothing Prince could say or do that would stop me from being a fan of his music. Prince, Barack...these are not magic people, they're human. They've lived complex lives that have shaped who they are, and guess what? Just like the rest of us, they're gonna screw up. Does it make me enjoy his music less? Nope. There are so many artists who have said and done weird stuff, but at the same time they've provided the soundtrack to our lives. So I'll never boycott him, and I'll always give him his props.

Now he needs to go sit down somewhere and shut up, lol
