Robyn talks Prince...

Don't know if anyone has seen this but Pitchfork.com posted an interview with Robyn, in which she discusses a bit of Prince's influence on her. Wasn't sure if this belonged in non-music or prince related...sorry if i'm screwing things up here. wink

http://pitchfork.com/features/interviews/7817-robyn/

"Pitchfork: Who's your ultimate pop artist?

Robyn: Prince is king to me. As this half-naked, short black guy who looked like a girl in the 70s and 80s, he was talking about women in a way that was very unusual because he didn't objectify them. He always puts himself in a vulnerable situation. And the songs have complex views of sexuality and male and female identities, which is very rare."

I'm sure the population of his female protegees might have something to say about that.

She did her own version of "Jack U off" as a b-side.

A couple of weeks earlier she had bought the "Controversy" and "Dirty mind" cd

I am so jealous... there are so many ppl in forums who seem to have met starts randomly... BTW Robyn's latest (Dancing On My Own) is full of '80s influences and it's a great song

Always in a vulnerable position?? BULLSHIT, ridiculous

Prince is, and has always been, looking for a quick oral

Robyn, you're so naive...
