We don't choose any lifestyle, it's simply what we are but he does choose to be a Jehovah's Witness.

But since we're talking hypocrits here, how about someone that sang about incest, head, jacking folks off, etc. and then turns around and thanks God in the same breath.


I disagree. We all choose our lifestyle, no matter what it is.

Daprettyman: Just because someone did something and then years later decides he/she should choose a better path, it doesn't mean one is being a hypocrite. It means our choices have changed. I'm sure Prince would be the first to admit that in the old days he might have also been one of those suckers.

Btw how is Homer Simpson?

I wish different religions wouldn't always try to label "God" by giving it a different name.

I don't choose to want a dick, I simply want one.

The man to this very day still looks a step away from a drag queen with feminine gestures to match and then has the nerve to even think some sort of judgement against gays let alone voice it. If that ain't a hypocrit, I don't know what is.

Some of the worst queens in the world are closet queens. And even worse than that...ex-queens.

Listen closely - it's obvious Prince is talking about Homer Simpson.

This is either his revenge for all the times they made fun of him, or his thanks to them for all the free publicity.

Of course, I could be wrong.

Which verse are u referring to?


When he talks about people running into walls, after that line he quotes Homer Simpson's "D'oh!"

They even quote the "D'oh!" in the live version, so I am absolutely sure I'm right about this.

I think it is a direct reference to Lindsay Lohan. I read somewhere that it was at a party at Prince's house a while back where she was particularly messed up and he had a talk with her that inspired her to go to rehab. Too bad it didn't work but it was a nice story at the time. Before you ask me to produce the source of that story - I can't...my wife saw it on some entertainment show...

Being gay or straight has nothing to do one's lifestyle. Do you think all the hetero people in the world, consider that their lifestyle? The rest of your comments are only opinion.

"suckers who thank the lord" = people who don't recognise the name "Jehovah" neutral

No. Posers/Celebrities/People in general who use God to save face, people like Lady Gaga who says thank you to both God and the Gays.
People who talk the talk but their deeds show nothing of it.

Basically- Hypocrits.

...sorry if i oppened up a whole new can of worms

My take on the song:

"folks who believe life imiates music" = MUSIC IMITATES L-I-F-E...

"folks who wanna be rock stars" = HUMBLE IS ALWAYS BETTER..

"freaks in the magazines who never paid no dues" = NATURAL 100% IS BEST

[i]"freaks walking into walls" = SENSE...

"haters on the internet" = THOSE AGAINST PROGRESSION...

"suckers who thank the lord" = CONSCIENCE...

While listening to this song, I'm always wondering what Candy Dulfer would think of it... confused


Cute. Or maybe that's what Candy said to him one day!

Art comes from a person/s. That person/s is aware of, and part of, society. Art therefore, to a greater or lesser degree, either imitates, or is an abstract of, society.

However when individuals then experience said art, in some way, to any extent, the art then affects them and in turn society.

Circles are wonderful things. However, life's circles evolve. Unless of course you choose to look at life and life's time as a whole and can see that it in itself is one circle.

And hat off to mzkqueen for posting a reply I can understand. It's becoming a habit.

Freaks in the magazines ..... Corporations put out large amounts of money to market an image with no real talent behind that, just a pretty face?

Isn't that what Prince has been doing for years with his "protégées"?
