Printableinteractiveplayer said: ernestsewell said: Oh don't be insane about it. Unlike Prince (and even he's full of shit on this point), we don't ignore the past, or try to rewrite history. Even Prince said on Oprah, and other places, that whatever he's done in the past has gotten him to the point he's at now. If he hadn't done/gone through/etc what he did, he'd be a different person today. He said "whatever floats the boat". He doesn't hold regrets, so it's rather unhealthy for a "fan" to project that on him. To post some silly thread about posting old photos is insane, and shows that perhaps, despite one's (  ) unhealthy lust for him, one might not know him as well as they think they do. It's bad enough he's removing the funk from his music, and editing the words for the past eight years, we don't need  fans doing it for him.
And if "the past" is addressed, every minute that passes is "the past", so do we ignore 3121? It was only 3 or 4 years ago. What about The Rainbow Children? People rave about it, but it's eight years old. Frankly if that were the case, I'd not mind ignoring LotusFlow3r, Musicology, and The Rainbow Children. Wait.....I already do. Do we not post pictures of him and Mayte, or that horrible second wife he had? As far as pictures....welcome to reality (I know it's tough, but stick with it). Just because someone posts a pic of him in the shower (1981), or w/ his ass showing on a bed (1982) doesn't mean anyone is being disrespectful of him. Do YOU take down pictures that are more than 5 years old in your house? Do you not browse through scrapbooks or photo albums? Do you see the insanity in the original post now? Probably not, but watch the ensuing responses. preach ir bother, you go boy. you hit the nail right on the head.    ♥ Feeling Purple Rain...Don't hold on 2 the pain, hold on 2 the memories ♥

1. For the 100th time this is an independently owned fansite. Ben Margolis is the one who establishes the rules, not Prince. I believe the criteria is whether or not P owns the copyright for the pic or if it's in the public domain through fair use laws. If you don't like his rules you are free to start your own site and establish your own rules. 2. Thousands of media outlets publish old photos of Prince, (mtv, vh1, Rolling Stone, etc)...do you intend to petition them too? 3. Prince has also recorded songs with some very risque lyrics...what do you propose we do about those songs? 4. Prince is a professional entertainer and a grown man who makes his own choices in life and lives with the consequences thereof just like the rest of us. He's been managing his career just fine for over 30 years without your help and he's done quite well. 5. Unless you know Prince and he has spoken to you about the subject, your speculation about what does or does not embarass him or what he does and does not regret is baseless. I haven't seen a single word written or spoken by Prince expressing any such regret. As far as we know, when Prince finds a certain image objectionable for whatever reason he or his representatives communicate his concerns privately. That is as it should be. So as you can see, there's really no need for you to concern yourself. I agree but I would add one more point. I would imagine Prince is a damn grateful coz he knows he looks cool and credible and this can all be achieved without him having to take any moral choice in the equation of is it Godless or salacious or whatever | |

he has NOTHING to be embarrassed about...and he can't be the man he is today with out being the man he was yesterday. And if we are to truely love the man...we must love the whole of him, not just the parts. "not a fan"  yeah...ok | |

You're right. But the org is about people. And they need to entertain themselves.  I realized this a long time ago...   ♥ Feeling Purple Rain...Don't hold on 2 the pain, hold on 2 the memories ♥

MacDaddy said: Boriqua1130 said: Why timeout? ScarLett's post triggered a great memory. And made valid points. I doubt Prince feels uncomfortable with his past. JW or not he's still expressing salacious lyrics. Exhibit A: "Elixir" Where's the modesty, Ladychel61? Again, why post old Prince photos? Because he's a good looking man.  She should best be ignored since she lacks the ability to reply with arguments. Using emoticons however.. Bless her white cotton socks though, she's on a mission I assume and you can't blame a girl for trying. I HAVE THE ABILITY 2 LEAVE THAT 4 YOU
