Why have you got an issue with millennials? I am not one but they have never seemed particularly different to me! | |

Was I? Did I? That's the thing. Some of the kids are more streetwise than I was and some less so. They seem to be highly variable now like they always were. | |

. Because generation gap. Or rather: because some of them show a lack of tolerance. Or a lack of adult behaviour. Or both. I experienced some of this earlier this year. Since then I studied them some more. . So it is not about a black and white sectarianism but about understanding what and why. Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |

It's only censorship if the government does it. Otherwise, it's an editorial decision. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

Threesomes and homosexuality are not crimes. Rape is. The reality of someone trying to rape you is not the thing fantasies are made of. P went there in his 20's. I don't think it is what the 50+ year old P wanted to be associated with. | |

Yeah right! While we are all so mature and tolerant I suppose. You sound like a grumpy old man | |

P.S. : Having seen a gazillion of porn, binge drinking, or participating in group sex at the age of 15 does not make you "street-wise". I wanna make sure we're talking about political and social counsciousness here.

I could understand him not wanting the rapey lyrics out there. Even if he was trying to be funny, it does cross a line that he probably decided he didn't want to cross. It's different than including the odd F-word here and there. "That's when stars collide. When there's space for what u want, and ur heart is open wide." | |

Are Extra Loveable or Lust U Always really so much worse than The Stones' Midnight Rambler or Brown Sugar? And those were officially released! | |

That's what im saying. You ever see the award shows where they have to beep nearly the whole song? | |

Seems most here are fine for these songs to be given a full public release by the estate in the name of art. Would the same apply if there was a song in the vault that with equal passionate conviction in spoken lyrics talked of taking a 5 year old child and fucking his or mouth? Should the estate censor that by leaving it where it is? An extreme example, yes, but by the arguments given should also be put out. If the milk turns out to be sour, I aint the kinda pussy to drink it! | |

Okay, I've got to say that two of the songs in question did eventually get released during Prince's lifetime after he changed the lyrics himself. He made the call, as the creator of Extraloveable and U, to get rid of the "objectionable" lyrics already (and clearly they are objectionable, because people are objecting to them). He might have done so with Lust U Always as well, and we just don't know. | |

I disagree. Hypothetical examples in order to test someone's position is a valid mechanism in a situation like this. The argument is that artistic freedom negates all else. Well, does it? However, finding reasons to not have to confront the question is understandable. If the milk turns out to be sour, I aint the kinda pussy to drink it! | |

. The fact that you even think about this stuff means you suffer from political correctness. Can't we see stuff in context anymore? Is it a millennial thing? It is the same as the hoopla with Sinterklaas and Zwarte Piet in the Netherlands, every year. The fake-black Zwarte Piet is perceived as derogatory, discriminatory, etc by some idiots. Yet in the historic context nothing is wrong with these figures. Sorry, im one of those idiots. It is rascist. And the rascist backlash to the Zwarte Piet issue is horrific and proves it. So go stuff your pc argument. And read up again on the history dude. You missed a spot. Prince would not want any of that stuff put out imo btw. Will be listening to the Purple One till the day I die. Will dance till I no longer can.. | |

Assholery, on the other hand, can be perpetrated by anyone. Exhibit A. ^ We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

Taking issue with rape isn't political correctness, taking something not meant literally out of context is. | |
