If you have the pipes to sing. Sing it.
If it's meant for you to fall under his wings - U would make that decision after you make a sound.
If you have a dance to dance. Dance it.
If it moves him and he tells you - maybe it would move you even more.
If you have the instrument to play. Does it collect dust? Do you throw it away?
Or do you blow it. strum it. make a sound.
Is it funky enough for him?
If you have a reason to bash him. It's called 360 degrees of mirrors.
Every cut down. Every put down. Every bash session here.
Says more about you than it will ever say about him.
I can sing. But no one has ever heard me.
I can dance. Only once did I get the chance to dance in front of him and did it.
I can play instruments. But I sold them.
Who am I to judge Prince for all of the beautiful music he has given to us.
If that's a problem for you. or for me.
I guess we have a problem then, don't we?
I know people are going to rip my truth apart because they rip his apart too.
But if YOU HAD ANY IDEA just how special Prince truly is to some of us - if you could even begin to comprehend all he has done - thru music - to carry some of us through the most horrific nightmares that seemed endless. If only you knew the lonely nights and days his music lifted me up thu. If you only knew the illnesses and excruciating pain that some have endured - and found solice and strenght to move forward because of songs like "Strays of the World" - if you only knew the people with terminal illnesses that just want "Purple Rain" played at their funeral - when they don't even know if people will spell their name right on the damn tombstone. If you only knew what you were saying and how much it reflects YOU and NOT Prince -
most of this bashing would cease to exist - and Love truly would change this world like Prince always has wished it would.

ps. bash away. i'll never be back.
