. Prince openly admitted to doing things early in his career that he was not proud of. I respect him for saying that. That shows maturity. He liked to push things as far as he could go, but some of it seems tame, when compared to some of the artists we have today.

. I think he was referring to his bad behavior and on-stage antics. He said "don't do what I've done". I'm sure he had regrets and paid the price. It was so nice to see him mellow out in his 30s & 40s. . I don't get that whole JW thing. Kinda weird if you ask me. I think he turned more to faith after the loss of his Son, but it seems as if he was trying to have his cake and eat it too. He was Pastor Nelson by day and then he was Prince by night, LOL

clover: Pastor Nelson Oh, man, that church would be a prollem, son.
For me, it was the emoticon/number thing he used when he wrote. Oh, man, that crap was annoying. I always felt like I was reading the diary of a really young girl, even when I was a fairly young girl myself. Shortening words here and there, cool; I do it myself. But EVERYTHING? You need to cut it. It's just lazy, and doesn't make you look smart, it makes you look like you're too lazy to write like a normal person. And when other people started doing it, I wanted to start breaking out lighters and burning the written word all the time. I imagine myself inside your bedroom; oh, I imagine myself in your sky.

Tracee Ellis Ross told a great story about that night on a talk show - Ellen I think. She was 12 yrs old and backstage with her mom, Diana Ross. Prince came over after the performance and met her. Then he turned around and she saw the butt and freaked. She told her mom it was awful and Diana said -no it's cool. Brand new boogie without the hero. | |
