I was thinking that in many ways his later music was just as pervy as his earlier stuff. Hear me out, my ten year old son hates Prince (or most of this music) and for the life of me, I couldn't figure out why. And then I did some inquiring. MY ex informed our son last year of the birds and bees (which thankfully my son finds icky..LOL). Anyhow, one day while listening to Prince in my car, he finally said that every song of Prince's sounds like he is getting ready to go to bed with someone and it just plain grossed him out. This statement of course put the kabosh on listening to almost half of Priince's music in the car. (In the past, I thought the music's content went over my son's head. I figured he thought Darling nicky was about dancing...LOL--WRONG)

Anyhow, so I figured I could play later-day Prince music and get away with it (because he is so much more cleaner)...Nope, Black Sweat comes on and after the first line, my son reacts with the line..."Really, already? OH COme On",,,my son is funny.

MOre proof of Prince's subliminal dirtiness. (which I think was his way of being accepted into the JW's but still being able to tackle his favorite subject....)

Da Bourgosie... (many people think its homophobic..I don't know about that. After all, the word means fickle..and he instagramed that the bearded lady line was not prejudiced. Here is maybe what he meant...according to someone on facebook.. Actually, this was posted on Eleanor Harvey (NEW Power Soul vocalist)''s facebook but was originally posted by a Susan Marie Clay...

is it the back and forth of an earthquake or a strong and sturdy tree?

1. Da Bourgeoisie is soooo underrated! What a gem. It's funky and angry and kinda mean but FUNNY. The metaphors, double entendres and clues. It makes u search OTHE...R songs for clues as to what IT'S about. Who does that?
   Apparently Prince's gal is into gals (what else is new? Bambi anyone?) Dude caught her with the girl. She was "wrapped up around her waist" (her waist? yeah, right) I guess the the girl told him she wasn't into girls anymore "but it appears that wasn't the case"
   He's pissed and hurt and he exposes her (snatchin' wigs) and he regrets that he ever kissed her slippery lips (eww) He even spits the taste out in the middle of the song like he still had hairs in his mouth. Remember he calls her a bearded lady, which could mean TWO things. He was her beard or the Urban Dictionary defines a bearded lady as hairy lady parts.
   The kicker is how he keeps screaming "Ray Charles!!" At the time, i didn't get that one so Prince says to look up the Ray Charles song "The Man With The Weird Beard" and wouldn't u know that the 1st word in that song is "BEAVER!". I nearly fell off the chair laughing that day! He was pissed and his pride was hurt but in the end she was just another beaver. Clever Clever, my dude. #Prince101

See, I thought with the whole "Ray Charles / Stevie Wonder" reference in Look At Me Look At You he was directly referencing that dude my netflix fingers aren't searching the name of as I type but Jon Oliver's New York Stand Up Show where the dude goes:

"What the US needs is another blind black person,

as I'm tired of people saying 'it doesn't take Ray Charles to see that was a goal' or something

Your son is funny.

My son just turned a year and I always play Prince in the car with him...I think I can get away with it for a while but I guess I should not underestimate how smart kids are...lol...
