I agree, I talked to this young lady over the phone at work and something prompted me to make a Prince comment
And she said he's a bit weird but he is great artist
I said, If he wasn't weird he probably wouldn't be as big as he is, and she said you know, that's right | |

He still owes me a fi' dolla' refund for that mess. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

lol I was thinking the same thing when I typed what I said. I do agree that it can be a good thing. Example he said some things about in the beginning how he didn't have much exposure to what was happening musically outside of some records (something like that) and I think that kind of thing and being mostly exposed to Minneapolis, helped create what we know as 'Purple Music' and the minneapolis sound.
As well as what you've stated in a persons personal time and space.
It can be adverse if the isolation causes one to think they don't need to learn anything else from anyone or that they're ideas are all they need.
the 1980's proved that feeding off other people and having 'real' life experiences can cause a bigger explosion of creativity.
I felt sorry for him when he allowed that whole 'rap' influence in his music in the 1990's, prob more like embarassement.
During ventures of 'rap' in songs like Love or Money, It's Gonna Be a Beautiful Night, Alphabet St & Positivity, it didn't resemble rap, it felt like something Prince created which made it fresh | |

No. Considering the grand scheme of things, Prince has had a better life than most world citizens.
I think he ridicules a lot of people, so, I don't feel that bad for him when the joke's on him. And he's treated very respectfully around the world in general. Especially considering his diva behaviour now and then.
And he's a great musician, enigmatic and skilled at mesmerizing his audiance. And he gets credits for that. Sure, a lot of people think he's overrated, however, more consider him in the top range of musicians.
Do you think we should feel bad for him? Is he to pity? 99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%. | |

I get upset all the time, hes on my mind most of the time, i have vivid dreams of him, where i am in a concert, and struggling 2 get close 2 him on stage.
i just hate all the system where hes gettin took the court, for anything. It must hinder and provoke him.
and especially urban legends about him, which are immature and offensive.

My reply: I don't feel bad about his music because he is one of many who doesn't get much attention because of his age. The music industry are only focusing on these youngins. Lil Wayne, Rihanna, Beyonce, etc. But I will tell what I do feel bad for and it's something I've been attacked for in the past:
I do feel bad and wished he would've had children and I wished he would've started back when he was young. I've had this vision that he's like the ocutom and he's had 14 kids because of all the women he's had and just looks children. I would like nothing better than to see him hold an infant or a toddler in his arms just to show his paternal side. At the BET awards last year, all the Lifetime achievement recipients have performed in the past except Diana Ross and Prince. They gave good speeches. But the only thing that was touching about Diana's was all 5 of her children being up on stage. After his tribute it, I would've loved to have seen two things: Some of his children or family members sit with him instead of it always being a backup singer/band member and all of his children up on stage like Diana. But just like myself and Oprah, who said it herself, maybe he wasn't willing to make the sacrifice to have children. It would've meant he would've had to give some of himself including some of what he loves which is performing. I always thought that why he does these 21 shows. He wants to be around people that love him like his fans. I always thought when the shows are over and when gets home who does he have to come home to besides band members, staff and the everchanging girlfriends. [Edited 9/20/11 7:12am] | |

Usually no. But for some reason lately I have. After watching all these Emancipation Era interviews and reading all these magazine articles from the 90s, his life is kinda depressing. He seemed so SURE that him and Mayte were gonna last and he was free and yada yada. I mean hes 53 with no kids a miscarriage and 2 failed marriages. I guess alot of things are his fault when it comes to relationships but I honestly dont think he knows any other way to live. Which is sad. April usually brings showers
This time it was a hurtin' kind This woman said she wanted my baby I told her I'd have 2 be deaf, dumb, and blind | |

Have you seen pictures of Andy Allo? Have you seen her laughing at the stage?
He's doing fine, better than most twice divorced men of 53. Really. If he would have wanted to be in a long time marriage, he could have. However, that demands a lot of hard work trying to understand and relate to eachother, adjusting to eachother and making sacrifices. Maybe that's not his forte? Anyhow, for a single guy of his age, he is in a good place compared to most guys in a similar situation his age.

In my opinion DJJ, That is a delusion... We are talking about a man that has a Spiritual Message in his music. For Prince to come across as the Single Man that feels that a relationship is too demanding is "Baby Talk."
I've been following Prince's career 30 years now and I have never been more disappointed in his relationship with Andy Allo. (The Way It Shows) It is so Ugly to me....I cannot believe that a man of Prince's spiritual statue is going to parade around with heart tatoo's and sport some kind of 30 year age difference for the sake of making music.
And Larry Graham too....If Larry hasn't told Prince that he's acting like a little baby than shame on him too...
I never believed that Prince could disappoint me like he has...
I thought Prince was my type to marry. I've changed my mind. He's too stupid for me, simple as that....I don't fuck around with my ascension process like he does...
Prince's music is great, but so what, what life has any true meaning without the blessing of committed love?
Prince just used Andy Allo to keep his mind off of the Summer Wedding...

I think my fingers will cramp up and bleed if I had to say what all I felt sorry about Prince for.
--He's so short. --He didn't stay wiht Mayte. --He doesn't have any kids. (expect the poor baby in Heaven) --I'm real sorry he ever met Larry Graham. --And that Larry Graham is Drake's uncle, Prince's friend, and Drake ain't leanred SHIT about music/singing from Prince! --I feel bad he;s not nasty any more. If Michael Jackson was able to juggle his nuts until the end, Prince should fondle a few guitars. LOL. --That he's trying to be spiritual occasionally. My boyfriend--who worships Prince--and I both snicker when he tries. Yup, my fingers are bleeding now.
I love a Man who:

He gets to do what he loves for a living. So many people go to a job they hate every single day, he doesn't. The guy has a cook, driver, travels the world, gets his clothing made. He stays in the company of beautiful mates, and has for a few decades now. Doesn't sound too shabby to me. He's definitely winning. At least he doesn't have kids spread out everywhere, by various women like some other musicians have done. Prince didn't do that, so good for him. | |

I know people who have lost their baby, so I feel bad that's happened to him. He wanted children in the past, so I wonder why he doesn't or can't now. I don't know if the feeling ever "goes away" - I know some people don't want kids but change their mind later, or they never want kids, but I don't know anyone who wants kids and then never wants them later.

So, because he is (or might be) smitten with a beatiful, musical talented women who is 30 years younger than he is, he can't be spiritualy pure anymore?
How do you know? What makes you so spiritually special, that you can know and judge about other people their decision not being 'right' according to God or any other spiritual entity?
When and why did you decide that Prince has a special spiritual statue that sets him apart from all the other humans in the world? And how do you know what the difference is between 'right' and 'wrong' for God's judgement? If God exists, isn't it up to him/her instead of you?
I'm sorry to hear that you are dissapointed in Prince, and that you don't want to marry him anymore. However, I think that it has more to do with your projections on Prince than it has to do with the bond that you and Prince share in reality. You know, loving eachother because you know eachother in stead of what you want the other to be.

All that I am is ONE disappointed fan in a man that earned my trust for 30 years. Prince has had an "ADAM," like charm to his approach with love songs. In my opinion that was a commendable goal for a man to long for a "Love2th9's/GreatestRomance," relationship, even if as a human guy he has fallen short of successful relationships.
I have fallen short of successful marriages as well.
When a man longs for that special, "Adam&Eve," connection, and deliberately or accidentally lures his female listeners with that charm, some of us may spend 7 years without a date thinking that maybe if we had 5 minutes together we could have an hour. If we had an hour, maybe we could have a week...and so on into the "Possibility," of a happy marriage.
(4 all of the "Seek-Helpers," out there, save it, I have a Master's Degree in my own life.)
So what does Prince do? Spend the Summer in a very boyish smitten way with a girl 30 years younger...Andy Allo deserves to be on stage, they look cute together in photo's, all of that show business fringe is somehow accepted by the majority.
I am not the majority...I am the very smallest of the Prince loving tribe...Just One girl that has put Prince on a pedestal that at this point in my spiritual growth cannot approve of Prince swimming around temptation for money.
People around here seem to think that the women in Prince's life have to change for him...Well the case could be that he will have to make some adjustments if a happy, long lasting love is what he "Needs."
Prince usually has gotten what he wanted. Maybe Prince doesn't really understand a certain level of equality/(friendship)...and I've been tapping him on the shoulder for a long long time. Deliberately the man has ignored me. Well I could've taken a "hint," a long time ago, but I was deluded by the fact that Prince may think that a spirit such as the one inside of me...has enough value to be face 2 face with. However, in case Prince needed a shot at lasting love, I've hung back, or hung around, just in case he needs me.
Face it...Prince needs a wife...not a girl to play Donny and Marie with.

How do you know what Prince needs? Why does he need a wife? So many people are unhappy in a marriage and so many are happily unmarried. Who are you do decide that he can only be happy with a wife?
the fact that Prince may think that a spirit such as the one inside of me...has enough value to be face 2 face with.
If Prince would have thought your spirit is so much more special than any of his other fans, he probably would have met face-to-face with you. And how do you know that you are so different than all his other female fans, to know that you can make him happy and no other woman than you can make him happy? What distincts you from the rest of his female fan base?
in case Prince needed a shot at lasting love, I've hung back, or hung around, just in case he needs me
Everybody wants lasting love. So probably Prince phantasizes about that too. However, you don't know the man. So how do you know that you could offer him lasting love without even knowing him and him wanting to get to know you? Why didn't you just spend your life making yourself happy in stead of phantasizing about him making you happy?
I really don't understand why you think you are so special and different and therefore should be his wife and are capable of making him happy. It sounds more like a phantasy of a young child to me than the reality of knowing what love is by a grown up woman.

Ask him. Seriously though, what makes society happy as a whole, may not make the individual happy. This is not someone working in a cubicle with a set schedule. Some people try to put everyone into a box, according to what is socially acceptable, and normal to the general public. It may not be that way with artists. ~shrug~
