Another thing that made many question where P was trully coming from was his excessive use of mentioning God in his music. NOBODY did that. He would mnrtion God's name and in the very same line, he would say 'motherfucker". On the Purple Rain tour, he would ask God, on stage, "would u take a bath with me?' To use God in a sexual text like that, is highly blasphemous. Period. I was a fan of Prince in the highest order during that period, and that shit made me very uncomfortable cuz I knew better. i knew that shit wasn't right nor was it cool. I felt bad for P cuz it came across like he was mocking God. In the same section of the show, he's having a conversation with God where God's voice is booming out of the speakers. That shit was so disrespectful. And he's doing this on the biggest tour of his career. I had seen P live on the Controversy and 1999 tour and I was so surprised he went this way on this tour. Many people spoke of this section and like myself, it put a weird vibe on what he was doing. Cuz it came across like he was spoofing God. It was really during this time that I started looking at all the little things I had already noticed that P was doing in his music and his pictures a lot more closely. I was no longer just "letting it slide". It all pointed in one direction. And these were things that were purposely planted by Prince alone.''

I agree. I didn't like some of the things Prince was doing early on in his career. With that said, I think Prince had a lot of regrets and told people "Don't make the same mistakes I did." He said he would always try to push the envelope and do more and make his performances more sexually provacative, controversial and risque', a lot like Madonna was doing in the 80s & 90s. He came a long way and I think he made his peace with God. I sincerely believe that he became a better person after the age of 40.

I always wondered how he learned to do it, there were a couple spots on the album where he had backwards voices, wendy and lisa did some on baby I'm a star. That has to be hard to make something make sense backwards and forwards. Let's face it, prince was so mysterious in that era, he became less mysterious as time went by, but mystery usually associates itself with evil in some way just out of human nature.

Baby im a star,the backwards section maybe Apollonia saying:"So like fuck them man,what do they know? All their tastes in their mouth. Really,what the fcuk do they know? Cmon baby lets go."

Darling nikki is;"Hello.How r u?Im fine.Cos I know that the Lord is coming,coming soon.ha ha ha ha ha ha."

Irrisistible bitch."It may not happen overnight,but it will happen"

Girl.B side to America. Prince is telling the girl how much he likes her. But when played backward the girl is telling Prince how much she likes him.

I think Prince kept up his mystique to enitce people more,without any mystery behind the man how would one keep wanting to know more.What im saying is if he told us evrything right away who would have found him interesting.

.

Yea, When I listed to Darling Nikki backwards, it scared the hell out of me!! eek

Prince was a church boy and he was a gospel man, always was too. So I'm sure he had to feel as guilty as hell later on for using those gimmicks to get over. there were the nutty rumours that he made people call him messiah in the 80's. The idol worship people give these guys is a drug, it really is a drug and they end up feeling superhuman. I know, I've been gotten a few people screaming and cheering as a musician, it's a lot to take in and to do it on a consistent basis and keep it in perspective is difficult. That's where you get the insane quotes from a guy like Michael Jackson who thought he would live to 120 and Prince saying that age didn't exist for him, well, it causes major fucking problems when reality comes and taps them on their shoulders. Elvis thought he could heal people and control the weather. He still has some of his men convinced that he had magic powers. I do believe in magic but what I'm pointing out here is a clear delineation, these guys get warped by being worshipped, it would happen to you or me too in the situation. "power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely".


Brilliant clarification of the situation.

The occult merely means 'unknown'. It is not necessarily indicative of Satanism and rarely is. As theist Satanism is merely a reversal of Christanity, very few occultists are interested in it.

The Church of Satan is atheistic. It does not accept or believe in Satan as a theological entity. The devil is merely a symbol of rebellion.

In my experience, it is primarily Christians who talk about and are preoccupied by the devil and spread ignorant hysteria about satanists who don't even exist.
