I am not sure which forum to put this in!!

Anyway guys, do u think that Princes' Love4OneAnother concept is old now?? I mean, years ago, he used to spread a message of peace, love and understanding and music being the uniting force for mankind and loving God, loving life and everyone living in harmony and love!!! Now, 2 me, it has all but disappeared!!!

Do u think that his Love4OneAnother concept is still thriving in his fan community or has it ever existed in the first place???

IMO, he seems to b promoting the universal concept of Love4MyBankAccount!!!!!

Good question.

Actually I have no answer to that.

He has "Love4oneanother" A non-profitable organisation, which is still helping people all across the world.

Love4OneAnother has been around since late 1995, early 1996 and really kicked into action after the release of Emancipation.

Although it's not talked about in media circles, the non-profit is still alive and well. I would believe that Prince still uses the charity / donates / organizes through the charity every once in a while.

I'm not ready to call him "Deacon", but you gotta give it up to him for his consistant sermon all these years.

I am not really talking about his charity!! I am talking about his whole message that he "preached" in the 80s/90s!!

I know! See my answer above !

I believe that Love for everyone thrives in people's minds...

Sometimes I think sexual perversion is a total misconception of love and acceptance.

Sometimes you can't help but look at something someone is doing and say hey..."that's pushing the envelope."

Love a lot of times begins with a visual. Nobody loves a starving community that is sufferring from disease.

Everybody loves a happy healthy girl in a bikini waving a bud light around on the beach.

Love is not smiling promiscuity and covering up real issues in this world by drowning them with saturated superficiality.

Love is realizing the difference. Love is knowing that devotion to your partner at the highest level of blissful love is what a family should be built on.

Education should be all about teaching boys and girls to wait until they believe they have found someone they can spend the rest of their lives with before entering into a sexual relationship.

Caring for the world is keeping subjects like this on the table.

The 80's? I am pretty sure that Prince didn't start using the phrase until at least 1995/6.

the Love4OneAnother tv program is.... amazing.

I agree with Skywalker, that was from 1996 or something

It was old news then. I think Prince deals in half-truths. If he was/is all for music joining the world then hebwoukdnt go after sites like Youtube or fans where his music is used to bring joy...nobody is making a profit from it....but perhaps that's the point - he's happy to get paidand heal the world

but the concept started in 1988 in the lovesexy tour program.

Example?

skywalker said:

The album and the story in the program in general.

OnlyNDaUsa said:

I believe the concept at that time was Lovesexy/newpowersoul
i dont recall love 4 oneanother being in that program, but I can check
it as I do have it.

Bottom line tho, P's messages / concepts have evolved throughout the years, as has he.

I was wondering about this, thanks

I was thinking of the over all theme. But you are correct the poem was not what I remembered.

From the Lovesexy tour book
Time upon a once
there was a boy named Camille
Now this boy named Camille
didn't know how 2 feel
Sometimes he was lonely
sometimes he was sad
but most of the time
he just took 4 granted
all the nice things
that he had.

It's a wonderful concept and WE should Never let it die. With or without Prince.
