I never been bored by Prince he is my food

You are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart

I've been bored w/ his music for 10 years now.

How many times does someone have to reinvent the Wheel?

Prince is older, so he's not as good a songwriter as he used to be because his mind isn't as sharp in his 50's as it was in his 20's.

Get over it.

I doubt it has anything to do with how "sharp"he is. It's all about inspiration. The older we get the harder it is to find-- both as artists and observers of said art.

You're both right I think. He's not as quick on the draw as he used to be, cranking out random and incredible music. I don't think he's "slow", but he's just not got the same muse he once did. That muse plays into the inspiration argument as well.

One of my favorite artists is Salvador Dali. He was fucking brilliant, but his last panting as atrocious. So many great artists go out on a lesser note than what they were once capable of doing.

I have spent most of my life as an immense Prince fan. However, I have no hope whatsoever that he will do anything interesting again. There have been a few moments of pleasing music in the last ten or so years, but the Prince who put out songs that didn't sound like anything else, that had great vocal arrangements, the Prince who could allow healthy collaboration, and who didn't record music out of fear of being irrelevant is long gone.
For me, you'd have to go back well over a decade to find an album that was interesting and high-calibur.
Why am I here? I think I was bored and I sometimes check this site out, but I have never been less enthusiastic about Prince.

he's still the only artist that gets me to the "store" on GP. u NEVER know what ur going to get and i find that even if the album is uneven, there are usually several gems that i like immediately or that grow on me. he's still extremely interesting and innovative to me. i like his "deeper" stuff and like most here it seems. i'm not put off by his spirituality. i'm so glad i don't get caught up in nostalgia as it relates to him

If you're bored, why write about in on a web site? Find something you enjoy and do that!

Very good point and I know what u mean why don't u just forget about him if ur bored with him? I've been there especially in the 90s when he was writing slave on his face, I thought wft are u doing? ur living in ur big white mansion writing slave on ur face like some victim, its an insult to real children and women slaves around the world and of all slavery. It put off him and everything he was saying this wasn't the Prince I knew and grown to love thru all out my adolescence, I have been devoted with him since the early 80s the rebellion years..so this slave thing didnt sit right with me at all and was never what in my eyes what Prince was about, he spoke about freedom, love and equality etc. So all this 90s slave thing altho i hated it still didnt mean I wasn't interested in him, I still wanted to know everything he was doing and was buying every piece of music he released and reading everything that was written about him, he was the only reason why I wanted the internet to find about every infomation I could get hold of. He was still a part of me, my youth, adulthood and life. u just can't shake prince off just like that he really seeps into ur soul...deeply. As we all know thats why most of us are still here. Anyway as time went on it dawned on me what he was really trying to express..it was freedom, freedom for all and freedom of what u ever u believe in, whether its money or living rights etc, it just was about ur rights as human being to control whatever u've create on ur own.It made me love this guy even more I felt I could understand where he was coming from and where he was going. A lot of artist other can't never give u that feeling of connection and understanding in what they/u believe in and do. I thank prince for this. I still wanna know what everything hes doing even if he has brought new pair of socks! may sound silly but I do.

ok well i think we give prince too much credit ... he writes good songs sometimes .. with the right people to bounce off of he does the most amazing work of all time .. there are a lot of albums i cant really sit thru ... i think to assume he can just go from tons of talented help to some kind of superhero that can play everything and make it as interesting as those 7 or 10 people in his band family etc.. did .. i think thats a lot of pressure .. he couldnt do it .. thus we got some thunkers .. but i think he has been improving lately as in his albums are getting more bearable and still a couple great moments where as before it was i need to turn this off bad at times still the highs are not quite as high as before ... but hes gettin there .. chelsae was pretty good as was fury so as much as yeah its still more interesting to listen to his older work for the millionth time then to try to sit thru mr. goodnite with out swearing u will never buy a prince album again because it sucks so bad .. i believe he has been branching out trying different things musically with the jazz and rock guitar and bria and tamar etc.. that doesnt mean they are great but i think he is willing to see what he can do ... hes done the rap the christian rock the raunchy the sex bump of high that news album u know i think its gonna come together soon ... these cds are all practice .. he had to do his sketchwork for a while now that he has a fuller pallet he is ready to paint .. the paintings are slowly getting a little better and i think hes
gonna lay the best of his career on us soon ... happens all the time with rock stars ... they are awesome then they lose most of their audience put out a bunch of experimental and dramatically different music that sounds nothing like the music that got them famous ... and then some kind of switch kicks in and u get time out of mind or harvest moon or the last couple jonnknow niel young was doing this new wave shit for a couple years with synthesizers and drum machines ... bob dylan went off the map for a while too no one was diggin his records ... so yeah i think prince is gonna hit us with it in the next couple of years ... its gonna be good ... so to respond to the thread topic .. he he .... i'm just a little bored but not TOTALLY bored.[/quote


Please try making real sentences (you know...with comma's and points sorts of thinghs like that )
Your story is very long and difficult to read like that (may be stupid )

Thanks x

you're alone!

Well, I'll take most anything he did during this decade over the latter half of the 90s. If he's "boring", it's because the changes in overall album themes and the visual appearance of shows etc. are more or less gone. Most of the songs he has released this decade could have appeared on just about any other studio album - with only a handful of exceptions to that rule, really.
