Prince is a contrary ass mofo is he not?

I mean it's ok to say 'Wet circles round the toy while you bring yourself to joy'

But he has to edit I Feel For You so it says 'I'm Spiritually attracted to you'

Elixer basically says 'He Licks Her' but DMSR is edited so that 'wear lingerie to a restaurant' becomes 'get busy in the middle of a restaurant'

Hasn't he tried to find a way to mix sexuality and spirituality into the same thing since album three, if not earlier? Unifying the body and the soul? Nothing new.

haha I only did that because there's always been a lot of conversation about Prince being a hypocrite, and the backlash from fans of him editing and changing his cursing lyrics. We need a less-offensive "been there done that" emoticon. haha

If he changes a few words or one line to make the song acceptable for him to sing then that's great. He could have just written the song off as one more that he'd never sing again. so there's a line change in D.M.S.R. or he says Spirituality instead of Sexuality it's still the same rocking track musically that it always was. Be grateful he didn't purge his performing catalog of every song that mentioned some kind of sex or naughtiness in it. We'd be listening to about 3 albums worth of music performed for us live right!

Prince before the conversion was like pornography. Now it's more like erotica - just as hot, but leaving more to the imagination.

Maybe like an early Bettie Page photo more so than the options mentioned above. Nothing controversial, but still enticing.

Now I KNOW I am OLD!!!! It use to be, can you believe this, that a song about masturbation WAS controversial. I am not kidding you, a long, long time ago, when you could still buy P's music on a casette, people actually thought that singing about LIXing someone was a no-no.


Well things have changed. Now as long as you don't say masturbation and don't spell lix as licks your alright.

If only back in the day people could have been convinced that Head was about a man's cranium we could be listening to that song to.

Prince has always changed the lyrics when performing a song live. It doesn't mean he's editing/censoring himself (apart from blatant swearing, which i understand somewhat), he's just feeling a different lyric at that particular time, he may go back to the original lyrics or not. he's continually exploring his music, past and present, many people can only deal with similarity/sameness/repetition (makes them feel safe, like children!). GET OVER IT, go listen to the album version over and over if you can't deal with new interpretations from an artist who WANTS to evolve his art. Or better still go to a concert by an 'artist' who is enslaved to the system, where they are under pressure to conform to the pop star template, and keep regurgitating the exact same setlist ad nauseum.

I like that analogy, but respectfully disagree with who you're using it for.

that's cool. Honestly, I see Prince as a musician first. The tones he chooses to take regarding his lyrical content or thematic ideas.....secondary to me, even when they're incredible ideas.

The changes are unnecessary though. No one's eternal soul would be in danger if he just left things be.

I'm willing to bet that the changes he makes in lyrics are meant to reflect something far more self-interested than worrying whether or not we hear him curse.

No one is dying because he changed them either. It's not the earth shaking matter so fans make of it. My thing is would they be happier if he abandoned more tracks from his catalog to avoid changing a word or two?

Yes he is.

Prince is a master at self promotion. He generally doesn't keep his religion a secret because although it may be genuine it's also another great way for him to be different.

I remember an interview he gave when he was asked about not doing his old material and not writing sexually explicit songs anymore and he said that the reason why he stopped doing the sexually explicit stuff was not because of his religion but because everybody else was doing it.

Yes contrary ass self promoting mofo. It's working.

Why should he have to do either?
