It is that attitude that made me stay away from Prince for damned near a decade. I mean there are OTHER artists to listen to, he is not the gatekeeper of talent. He knew that his statement would be a tease. He knows that folks are fiending to hear something of the magnitude of him doing a duet with Michael Jackson. Why even tease the audience?

I'm sorry, I was merely yanking people's clackers, twas all a joke.

Oh damn...well you had me then. Prince is weird enough to say something like that though. LOL See you had me getting all rawled up.

NYC'ers, the magazine is on (some) newstands in Manhattan. I spotted it at the newstand in the 14th Street station (on the 1, 2, and 3 line), then at the newstand on the NW corner of 14th & 6th. Both times I didn't have any cash on me! Hoping to pick it up after work.

When in the month does Ebony usually hit the stores? Some mags don't hit until the last week of the previous month. I fear if you keep checking every day you may end up blowing a whole lot of cash on porn mags . Here in central Massachusetts we still have Niecey Nash and I would love to know the usual time that Ebony hits the racks so I don't keep rushing to the rack every day like a fool.

Well, since other parts of the country (the coasts) seem to have the issue, I thought it would be out early this week in the midwest. at your porn remark. I have enough to tide me over.

I checked a few place and they didn't have it yet. I still haven't received mine in the mail (I have a subscription).

The following month's issues are usually delivered to vendors, who order it, the second week of the prior month. You should check by the end of the week to see if your vendors received it yet. If not, then it really should be there by the end of the 3rd week.

Well if you keep that up you will need your Ebony in Braille. I wonder who on the East Coast has gotten Ebony yet at their local magazine rack.

I have noticed my eyesight getting worse lately, but I chalked it up to old age. I guess I now have some serious lifestyle choices to think about now. Dammit.

Some of my subscriptions show up way later than the newsstand copies on occasion.

Anyone in Minneapolis find the mag yet? I went to Barnes & Noble yesterday and they had that chick from Reno 911 on the over. So I bought some porn instead.

So what sort of porn was it, genre wise, and did it satisfy your needs? can you still see? how big are the blisters?

Ok, after seeing the mag several places, I finally copped it after work. The interview is nothing newsworthy, but I'm glad I was able to read about the black coal miner's wife (from the W. VA mine explosion - the story follows the Prince piece), even if it was in Ebony (I read it maybe once every decade).

Your post reminds me of Zoolander. Black coal miner. Are there any other type?

Joke people.

This interview is good for people who are interested in

his religious believes. It's hard get out some news of it.

It is already strange enough he didn't say something about his love life

which was so praised on the ebony site.

Just a strategy to sell more magazines. It was hype about nothing.

Ebony Exclusive: PRINCE Talks Religion, His Love Life & Much More

Never-before-seen photos and the musical genius in his own words are featured

Prince talks about Religion : YEEEES!

His love Life: NO (self-interest is on the back burner for now? What does THAT mean?)

Never-before-seen photos: YES but

Own words: like always. Pussyfoot around

In spite of it all it's cool to read interviews when it comes to Prince.

It's always more or less interesting what he got to say. So, thanks Prince

Yup. Especially if it’s an issue you’re waiting for.

does anyone know of any way to get this magazine in the uk?

if not is someone gonna scan it on the org?

The mods have pointed out very clearly that the article cannot be reposted here to to copyright infringement issues; this site is already watched close enough as it is without asking for that kinda trouble

You should be able to find Ebony at any news stand or bookstore that sells international newspapers or magazines. Try google-ing for some place in your area that specializes in that

Barnes & Noble doesn't carry the good stuff, so I had to get the basic smut - nothing freaky. There was a College Girls special that caught my eye.

This has got to be one of the worst "interviews" or sit downs with him I have ever read. It was one huge ball licking contest, all played by the journalists.

They basically let him talk about whatever the hell he wanted to, which was God and what his name is, and anything else for these "trying time we're in." Music was one of the last things on these people's minds. After Prince (on drums, no less!!), Larry, and some singers performed a little bit for them and they were about to go. The one lady wondered to herself when that music they just heard would be released. "Only time (and Prince) will tell." Why not ASK HIM while yo' ass was talking to him??

He played them a song called "Stand Up and B Strong", which was an anthem to tell people to hold on (parahrasing) in these bad times. Sounds like straight booty, but whatever.

The only other "fun" tidbit the entire piece had was him saying in a weird-ass, quasi-Q & A that his first influence was Ike Turner on the guitar, and that it would be fun to play Little Richard in a movie. Tongue firmly planted in cheek, I'm sure.

I've been disappointed for years now in Ebony, so I didn't expect much at all out of this. And guess what? I got it! Even less, now that I think about it. But hey, I'm sure someone will say it was the greatest conversation devoted to print, period. Let me spray my new "Fam-Away" now to avoid gettin' bitten by 'em!

Someone in Manhattan said they picked it up already but I pass through Grand Central daily and Hudson News still has the Nicey Nash one out.

I keep checking.

I wonder where they got theirs from.

I can't believe you can't find it in Manhattan;go up near the upper east side, between 55th and 70th streets, anywhere between Lexington Avenue down betwee 1st - 3rd avenues-right on the avenues. There's quite a few candy/magazine stores that have the July issue there. Those are the type stores you will mostly find magazines in. Also, check to see if Duane Reade's received their issues yet, because they do carry Ebony magazine. It just depends on when these vendors receive their delivery, and it should be in most of them by the end of this week. I found that out they all usually receive their following month's issue, one month prior during the second week of that month. I found this out when I was looking for the June issue.

I think we must have read a different mag.. I'm sorry but I couldn't make it thru the first couples of lines.. yes indeed Prince at what he does best "avoiding straight questions and answers"

Of course the earth is changing, thanks to BP, hurricanes, earthquakes.. Of course we should find the truth within, what else is there to do when 80 percent of the planet is living paycheck to paycheck trying to feed their children and pay their bills, wait.. Yup people do call god different names, hey wait what if we started calling "LIFE" a different name???

just kidding huh huh

I have always thought Ebony was a magazine for Negros and Colored Folks, and not for African Americans. That magazine is so retro, and behind the times in regards to contemporary journalism and interviewing tactics, that I'm pretty sure that the majority of their subscribers are in the 50 and older group. So what you alleged the interview to be like does not surprise me at all.

As far as Prince is concerned, I think people need to finally accept the new Prince. He will likely get stronger and more determined in his faith. And that is a GOOD THING. There is more to life than what is on this earth. People need to recognize that we at some point must prepare for as Prince calls it "The Afterworld". He is doing just that, the best way that he knows how. Vanity is doing the same thing - only with a different denomination, and Sheila E is also born again. Folks can't dance and shake their booty forever...all of this will eventually come to an end. So I do support Prince in his efforts to adhere to his Faith, and his understanding that he is now a vessel that can be used by God. Before he really wasn't. God gave him his talent and he used it to talk about women masturbating to magazines, and all sorts of sexually heightened themes and songs, so it's past time for him to give his talent back to God. i actually appreciate what he's Trying to do. Nobody is perfect.
