 "The View" I guess?? ? We're referring to when Tavis had mentioned that Prince has had him, Dr. West, and other educators/scholars, friends over to his home where they discussed and shared their opinions regarding the SOBU conference and other issues. Some of us are just saying we would love to see a clip/vid of Prince and those mentioned above in those discussions if it was an "actual" televised/recorded one made available to the public. The View? No, I doubt you will ever see that type of discussion on that show.  [Edited 4/29/09 19:37pm] | |

Beyond his guff about "reading the scriptures" with Bria. I do want to see that roundtable with him, Tavis, Michael Dyson, Cornell West. I'd actually pay to watch that. Interesting moment when he finally admitted that he doesn't like male vocalists very much, which is why he uses falsetto on ballads. What he is admitting, for the first time was that he likes James Brown's sound more than his vocals. Stevie's too, I guess. He just hates men. I should be offended..lol Where did you see this part of the interview? I don't remember seeing that last night. Was that something extra? Bella, in Part 2 of the interview - here's the link. He mentioned that close to the mid-end of his interview with Tavis. http://www.pbs.org/kcet/t...0428.html# | |

I liked it, and I wish it were longer, he has a nice smooth talking voice, I was curious when he was applauding Bria if Tavis was going to ask the obvious question are they acouple or what | |

Prince's religious views from the Tavis interview:
Doesn't Prince understand that People in the USA are free to practice whatever religion they want. How can one integrate religion into politics, btw isn't that what we freed ourselves from the church ruling the country. Is he just talking about saying a prayer before assembly. If so what prayer and in what religion. Can't say one prayer without it offending other religions. It's not very clear. Also what does he mean by reading scriptures? I don't get why he has to read scriptures to other people, is he becoming a minister? Does he now have to go to the other extreme of what he was? I am so confused...  [Edited 4/29/09 19:45pm] | |

Always haved loved Anita, such a class act! Although the ultimate collab for me would be P. and Sade, Anita and him would be very cool. Hmmmm i guess we will have to wait and see - | |

I noticed a certain sadness when he said people say things behind his back. I think he was referencing Wendy's comment on calling him being a "fancy lesbian".
I feel it is so hurtful for Wendy to say that of a former friend, especially since she knows people are always saying hurtful things about him. What really is her point? Also it was Prince who brought her into his band and this is how she repays him. Sad isn't it? 
Prince I think has so much more class in how he handled the situation. He said, they were in love before and why not now, there is a true romantic side to this man that I absolutely LOVE.  | |

bellanoche said: japanrocks said: asking 2freakyforchurch if they were white or not seemed uncalled for oh, and thanks for the history lesson.....i am well aware [Edited 4/29/09 6:38am] Actually, I thought it was called for. I did not mean it to be offensive. I was curious because, as Prince stated in the interview, some white people need to know more about what's going on with the rest of us. Whenever I have these kinds of discussions with people, my experience has been that the white people with whom I am talking are the ones who are quick to dismiss theses theories as nonsense or call people "nuts" for believing it, just as 2Freaky4Church did. Also, if you are well aware of this history, why did you make the comment that I was "one of those black people who was breathing chemicals?" As I said, nothing in my post was unfounded or the result of chemically-induced thought. Thank u bellanoche 4 all your insightful information that is so appreciated  | |

purplecam said: 2elijah said: I know, can you imagine being able to witness a discussion with Prince and all of those guys just touching on issues of interests within the black community and also social issues that affect all Americans and other world issues? (i.e. economics, health issues, foreign relations, religion, environment, etc.) [Edited 4/29/09 9:28am] That would be incredible. From the interview, I'm interested in checking out stuff from the State of the Black Union and that doc on Jack Johnson. If u get a chance, rent or buy the movie Great White Hope, starring James Earl Jones as Jack Johnson. Excellent movie and I can see why Prince have the admiration for Jack Johnson. | |

dannyd5050 said: Prince's look was priceless when asked about why no radio play. Prince stated he was shocked that MPLSound was not getting radio play and that the whole cd was radio friendly. But of course he knows it's because he's not with a major label. So sad...
No, it's because he's "not giving up fees to no jukebox with a heartbeat". **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

2freaky4church1 said: Please, no more cocktail jazz! Prince, step away from the Fattburger records.
Prince's jazz work is really good. I love Xpectation, the Madhouse albums, and Eric Leeds' 2 albums as well. The only problem that I can see is that Anita and Prince might butt heads since they both are pretty headstrong. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

http://www.pbs.org/kcet/t...90428.html His and Bria's segments are there. Thank-you for posting. The PBS over here is hating and not showing the Tavis Smiley show. "When words fail, music speaks..." --- Shakespeare | |

Tavis Interview Pt. 2 - Prince deffinately seemed more comfortable with the Part 2 of the interview and Tavis got right to the point. Very well done. Bria was charming, articulate, polished and genuine. She did a fine job as well.
Hopefully both nights will help to expose the Cds to a broader audience.  | |

Just watched Bria's interview, and I have to admit, she comes across as genuinely nice and intelligent person.
....Let's just hope she doesn't find fault in the scriptures. | |

i haven't seen part 2 of the interview yet but isn't the line i bolded above simply "xpectation"? did he talk of releasing it through target, since you say "based on how the target deal goes".. i hope it's a new project though since i'd LOVE to hear more from that particular combo. especially renato. woot woot. and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

That's why we love Prince cos the man has Attitude ...hell we may not agree with it but he's a fighter and he's defensive about his right to say whats on his mind and he welcomes other people to say what they think as long as they back it up...
That's a good thing, he's not stop talking about God since the 80's yet everyone is still shocked by it ...like it just happend yesterday.... Da, Da, Da....Emancipation....Free..don't think I ain't..! London 21 Nights...Clap your hands...you know the rest..

I'm sure so many ppl say so many things about Prince. U shoulda put 'imo' at the end of your statement cause u may be so wrong on your assumption. I swear the words "HATER" is wayyy over-rated...smh | |
