all jokes aside ...its' not racist people... or anti-jewish ...or anti-anti...
Prince has and will always talk about God and his faith ... yes the bible like all faith based text has some strange non-PC stuff in it... but that's what the man's into ...let it be...

LondonStyle said:

You know damn well Prince reciting the Lord's prayer in 1981, or even something like "Anna Stesia" is miles above and lot different than that JW dogma on TRC. It's night and day.

ernestsewell said:

All faith is based on some type of dogma .....night and day is how you view things and has nothing to do with the type of faith you study or level at which he understands the text written hence his early work shows an early understanding of faith in his music, the working out of what things mean and the context the late forms of faith in his music is much deeper and draws on life and what he's seen.

an example of this is George Michael's use of faith over the years...it's much deeper now than when he was younger ... no ones calling him a wacko ...is it because we know he smokes weed and takes pills to relax, so it makes him still "rock n star like"..no

People tend to forget just how many places and people Prince has met and lost over the years in his travels ...his life has been a mix bag of highs and lows ... he's human so this of course is played out in his music as he get's older....

TRC is a great CD as you can see him playing with these themes and ideas through Music...

i'm talking specifically about white and black people quarreling more over racial matters than ever before, due to the lyrical content on TRC

that ain't helping matters ANY, imo

XxAxX said:

the CONcept of race is meant to cause division and perpetuate inequality,
which is why Prince's vision of the TRC is on a higher level of comprehension;
if your heart is unclean, it will be hard for you to dig his message (this may
be said for a lot of his material lately)

I'm with you. Many times I have sat around with friends of various and mixed ethnicities and rocked this album and I think the only debating we ever got into was which song sounded the most fucking awesome. The most talked about quality of the album for me and mine has always been about how wonderfully organic everything sounds. It was like a sea change in the types of tones he was working with and I was totally into it. I like super-warm analogue-y tones and that album serves them up song after song.

LondonStyle said:

I'm still not convinced that Prince is entirely "human".

Prost!

Released is the operative word.

The operative word is "rounding up".

The old definition of insanity is to continue to do the same exact thing, but always expect a different result.
When fams inevitably say after admitting time and again how they didn't like it, but kept after it because deep down they KNEW, if they tried hard enough, they would. ...and that's when you, as a fam, have finally gone off the deep end of Lake Minnetonka.
The ones that crack me up the most usually preface it with ....."Im a musician so I know its good", ...STFU

Relevant if you're from a new country like America I guess. Maybe not so if we're talking about Italy.

this is for fans who don't like darth vader and the rainbow children

NelsonR said:

huh. i beg to disagree with you, mr. Nelson, IF that is your real name.

in my opinion, the concept of race is NOT meant to "cause division and perpetuate inequality." i refuse to think that way. thus, i step off this so-called 'higher level of comprehension'.

in my opinion, god/goddess/the life force comes in all different shapes and sizes. look at the stars! blue stars are young, red stars are old. all the colors in between. so many colors of the rainbow and all are beautiful.

ironically, on his album lyrically, instead of celebrating that con-cept, prince called it 'rainbow' but focused on black and white.

is that just my per-cep SHUN? cause i didn't refer to no keys on his piano*
