what i'm suggesting is that the quality of his over-all output during his career is enough for me to respect him as a musician whether i like his music these days or not.

i cant ignore a whole back catalog of really great music and write it off just because he releases something that i may not get in to.

even if he released something i really, really didnt like, he is still bringing with him 30 years of experience and musicianship into that recording.

could never bring myself to use the word 'crap' in relation to his music, even if i thought it was, because for me there is still a level of respect that goes from me to him in acknowledgment of all he has done.

i hear you loud n clear when you say it's over and no one dares to tell him. i know exactly what you mean, but i'm not in a position to make that judgment call.

he has done this for 30 years, music has been his life and the most part of his identity since he first fell in love with it.

its not something he can toss to one side and give up on just like that. its routine for him in a way that none of us knows.

music is the primary way he expresses himself and i dont think it would be right for him to stop doing that just because his current output is not as wow as his previous output.

he has people around him all the time, fuelling the prince machine, everything from ego boosts, laughing at his jokes when they aren't funny,

telling him how great and cool and smooth he looks, and how his music is just so great its like wow its fantastic 'our jaws were on the floor' etc...

i feel for him that he may not be able to discern between comments from people that are pure hype and those coming from a more genuine place.

he is a combination of incredibly naive, and egomaniacal, so you can imagine how he interprets input from others.

either way the upshot for me is that it isnt appropriate, nor kind, nor respectful to toss him out as a musician, like a used up toy, or a broken machine,

just because we might not be as stimulated by his newer releases compared to his earlier output.

he is a person, not a product with a use-by date, so just let him be the prince he wants to be and enjoy his life the way he wants to.

its probably all he asks for, as well as being paid fairly, which he deserves to be if that is where his focus is.

our opinions are only opinions, they wont change anything for better or worse in the long run, so my take on it is to enjoy the music i enjoy and leave the rest alone without slamming him for it.

It's so refreshing to read your comments from time to time. Haven't you been on here before under another name? It's pleasant to know there are still people around who express themselves in a normal way. You always hit the nail on the head positive or negative without being mean or rude.

No-one can deny all the gorgeous beautiful music he has made in the past and after 30 years it's all good. But though for me it's weird to see such a talented person make such non interesting music, so weird.

But P. deserves a lot better than the nasty and aggressive remarks that a lot of people make here on this site.

In actual Numerology 2010 equals 3. Either way you cut it.

20 + 10 = 30, 3 + 0 = 3

2 + 0 + 1 + 0 = 3

That's actual "Numerology". As nonsensical as that is, I don't make the rules for that particular pseudoscience.

If by numerology you simply mean 'dicking around with numbers and symbols', then yeah, sure, 30 could work.

"Cause and Effect", "Purple & Gold", and "Rich Friends"

If Prince IS considering numerology, those may be the three.

I'm hoping that's not the case personally.

How in God's name are you going to judge a song based on a 20 second sound clip? The song sounds pretty good to my ears, like decent 90s stuff.

My idea is that there will probably be a few new songs and some extended cuts of previous songs. This could be a test for the obvious extended versions of all his Warners albums. We can only hope.

How in God's name am I going to judge a song based on a 20 second sound clip? The same way you just did

Quote of the day?

The single is streaming here:

I love it. It has that "Willing and Able" sound.

ok, now that sounds kina interesting. i love the instrumental track and the way it slowly builds, especially love the last 2 minutes, that's just a very nice 90s sort of prince track right there.

it ain't housequakin' but it's solid.

now, the lyrics on the other hand

pennylover you are most welcome and thank you for your kind words. you seem to be doing just fine expressing yourself

hug and a kiss for you too

uhhh...

Will we be able to buy this deluxe edition outside the UK and a couple of other Western Europe countries???

Rich Friends : crap

"Rich Friends" -Man this is not good pop music (80's output)....not interesting excursion into other musical worlds (Rainbow Children)...just blah crap like Cause & Effect,Hot Summer,Purple & Gold and 20ten.

the song is GARBAGE!

the lyrics?

".....ain't nothin' worse than cryin' the blues

on a private plane."

WHAT THE FUCK?

the fambots can have him. my ears deserve better. stick a fork in this cat. he's done,yo.

fly around in a private plane with tears streaming down ur face, whats ur money worth now?

something i'm sure prince knows all about.

Would you rather be struggling to meet your mortgage payments, seeing your car fail it's MOT again, not being able to feed and cloth your kids how you'd like and be unhappy or be comfortable in a nice home, your kids living well, a family holiday once a year and a running car on your drive and be unhappy?

It's not a rocket science question. Money is a lubricant. It makes life smoother.

I expect it to be given away at the concerts in the US with the artist, so yes it will be released!

I also guess Ebony magazine Group of publications to have it on the front cover or Rolling Stones magazine since he did work with these guys in Europe

its not a rocket science lyric either. clearly, flying around in a private plane vs 'being comfortable' are two different levels of being 'cashed up'.

some use money for a reasonable amount of lubricant, others use it for excess.

they chase dollar after dollar trynna fill the gaping hole inside them, thinking it will make them happy, only to discover it doesnt.

private plane? boo hoo look who's cryin now.
