What happened?

Just got done watching some live performances during the Gold Experience era and WOW...there is a grit, a passion, a fire, that I don't hear in his latest performances . Sure P may still be funky, hitting all the right notes etc...but something is missing. Almost like Prince has become a cover band of his former self. What happened?

Almost 20 years of it, to be exact.

Now, now, RD. These young 'n's don't know.

Wait a few years - they'll all have their idea moment.

But they DO know. I mean even if they're young or a newbie they're not stupid. Yeah the Alex's Bart's Walls etc love to troll as a=holes but still. I didn't wake from half a decade ban ala Barnabus to have this pathetic opinion still be de rigeur of the day did I? Young people you are better than this. Older folk still doing this, off yourselves....somebody...give an aging realist something to grab for, to hang onto...something to pray for

Btw did you know that James Brown, Michael Jackson and Prince were once....

True that,,true that.., but what ya think about his actions making a symbol logo of Andy's name similar to his...I mean wtf?! He shoulda known most of his fans are not teens anymore, so why this logo campaign? It's pathetic and devalues all of her original style. Pathetic! Are we supposed to buy into this shit, like 20 years later?!!!

Well...if you go and look up/study a little on the theoretical framework of cause and effect and then return with a little break down of Prince, his career album dates and a bit of background on where he was at the time, I'll explain in more detail.

As far as being 'on fire' in TGE era. Thank goodness he isn't anymore. If he had been we'd have had nothing but ashes at this point in time.
