As much as I love Prince and all information to do with him, and am interested to read your interview with Gayle, I doubt I'll care much for your book if the whole thing has that subtext of religion similar to what's in your blog post.

I don't much care to hear about anyone's fantastical "spiritual experiences" or any religious persons interpretation of anything Prince has ever done in his life.

Let's not forget that Prince dabbled heavily in the occult in the 80's, and these experiments were FAR more interesting than anything he did with religious connotations. If you want to write a truly balanced book, you'll mention that equally (and risk pissing Prince off), but I get the feeling that's not going to be the case. I hope I'm wrong - are you planning to delve into that topic? We've had some incredible topics about that in the past, mostly due to contributions from now-MIA member blackguitaristz. I don't know if you were here in those days.

Still, best of luck with what you're doing.

I appreciate you writing a book on Prince. Consider your marker before you go any further. IF your putting a religious christian angle, then your market will be them not Prince fans. If it will be Prince fans, then consider not going over board with Cristianity as the majority here do not necessarily feel Prince being Jeohovah improved his career or what they liked about him.

Hey Muskiediver!

How you doing?

Do you consider yourself ignorant? I do.

Christians and Jehovah's Witnesses are two different religions.

Some Christians are also Prince fans to, as are some Jehovah's Witnesses.

You big dummy.

From: http://en.wikipedia.org/w..._Witnesses

Jehovah's Witnesses is a millenarian[1] restorationist[2] Christian[3] denomination[4] with nontrinitarian beliefs distinct from mainstream Christianity. The religion reports worldwide membership of over 7 million adherents involved in evangelism,[5] convention attendance of over 12 million, and annual Memorial attendance of over 18 million.[6][7] They are directed by the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses, a group of elders that exercises authority on all doctrinal matters. Witnesses base their beliefs on the Bible, and prefer their own translation, the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures.[8] Their central belief is the imminent destruction of the present world order at Armageddon and the establishment of God's kingdom on earth, which they consider to be the only solution for all problems faced by humankind.[9]
