On Leno, Prince sang, "Everybody's talkin' 'bout hard times like it just started yesterday. People I know, they've been strugglin', at least it seems that way".

Please!!!! Prince is so out of touch with reality. Who does he know or has known in the last 30 years that is strugglig? When's the last time he walked in North MPLS, or hung out on the corner of Chicago and Lake in MPLS. Man, Prince doesn't even live here anymore much less swing by to jam with local bands or visit local venues!

He's the sucka!!

Yeah, because I'm sure everybody Prince knows is mega-rich. He can't possibly know anyone normal.

Forget that, where is the Motha Freakin' creativity. Any musician get generate a sound, but writing lyrics is another thing. I swear, he must read the paper or watches CNN for song ideas.
WHERE IS THE CREATIVITY? Did that dry up as much as he has? He needs viagra to wake up his music!

It will be a long time before I need something like that!
I'm not 50 yrs old!

DUH... Prince has never been IN touch.

That's what makes him Prince.

I thought Prince was "The Touch". (referenced from Undisputed/Rave CD)

He's still got friends and family that aren't rich and famous doesn't he? Everybody knows of someone that's not doing as well as they are.

b-b-b-but he mentioned lake street during 7/7, remember? that counts, right? besides, i can't imagine the dude sitting on the #21 and kickin' it.

Prince is who he is. He's living in his own purple bubble, like he's always done. He lives in a universe populated by the likes of Camille and Spooky Electric. One listen to a song like Sexuality, or the Rainbow Children album, or New World, or New Power Generation, is all you need to know about Prince's grasp on the world around him.

Prince music is fantasy; funky, colorful, weird, wonderful.

If you want someone "in touch," there are countless others to choose from. Listen to Bruce Springsteen.

wow

tricky2 said:

Have you heard the albums?
Apparently not if you are asking "where is the creativity?"

What DON"T some of u guys criticize?

I don't think he's out of touch-he's very aware of the times just look @ the charge for the website He knows how to keep his purple perks rolling. The song last nite was just not good, but Prince has always and will be a creative genius.

You sound ignorant!

im sayin



tiff...ur sig is serious

seriously pathetic comment. How do you know what circles he mixes in day in, day out?. There are friends of friends he will hear about, no doubt his own family and business associates will have been affected etc, grow up.

Damn. If you don't like the new music, don't listen to it. I like it, so I'll keep on buying it.

I swear, sometimes I avoid this place because of all the bitching.

He would probably be robbed!

Those lyrics were kind of questionable, but at least he mentioned us "Struggling folk".

People will say what they will with their mouth, but someone like Prince could not just hang-out on those corners, brother.

All people covet. I used to feel like you do, but if the shoes were switched I would not hang out in those spots. I would not now, and I have nothing! (lololol)

It takes two. I don't know who Prince knows up there, but does have family. I'm sure that he's not paying rent for everyone he is related to.


Athlete's and Entertainers are being robbed when they return to "The Hood" (which is making it easier and convenient for them to stay away).

There is bad/evil on all sides.

If folks don't covet what some of the rich brothers have, then they may not feel the way that they do about the poor. Then, they can return to live, and just give advice. Still, they do not have enough $$$$ to play Santa Claus to everyone in The Hood! We have to be able to make peace with what you have, and not allow things to go to Hell just because we are struggling!

The #21! That brings back memories.

Hi Dansa.

squirrelgrease said:

'sup, ol' greezy! but seriously, you can't imagine that, can you? and don't let him get on the #5, because then it'd be a party...

BSK3478 said:

Purps on the MTC. Can't even picture it. Maybe ridin' the light rail down Hiawatha...

squirrelgrease said:

yeah...then one of the transit cops comes on board and mistakes him for a middle school student playing hookey from school...

bigjohnrrt said:

Oh please with this nonsense....the nerve of some people

Like Prince would be living on 26th and Penn....just chillin shut that mess up.

it really doesn't matter if he knows people personally that are struggling, last night he publicly served as the mouth piece for normal folks like me, saying the things I wish I could say in a grander fashion.
