Totally agree with this:

Secondly, I never heard Prince sing off-key, whether he was singing in
that high falsetto voice, his bass voice or anywhere in between. I’ve
heard singers who cannot sing on-key in live concerts; I assume technology
cleans up a lot of their mistakes for their studio recordings. But Prince
seemed to hit his notes effortlessly.

It just feels so great to hear these kind of stories, praises and glories....

Bottom Line: What I said about Latin was 100% correct, and everybody knows it And all the people who've stuck their nose into this thread to "defend" him are actually just using him for what they can get from the situation. That's not friendship. And Latin isn't even important. I just felt like calling out something I saw, that's all. What's sad is that Latin can't speak for himself. [Edited 6/2/17 15:00pm]

How dare you say somebody on this Earth isn't even important. Everybody placed here is important.


.


What exactly are we using Latin for? Latin posts some wonderful stuff & it is greatly appreciated. Latin is an important member of this forum.


.


Why do you have a problem with someone sharing Prince related items with us?


.


Why do you think you can dictate what gets posted and what doesn't get posted?




I will say anything I choose to say.

Seeking importance is one of the biggest causes of trouble in mankind.

As for the rest of it, I actually do not care all THAT much - at ALL - about what Latin is doing. I saw something going on for months so I said something.
How dare YOU come along and ask me how I DARE do that?
The nerve!

I hope that answers your questions.
If not, get a mentor and ask him..
you little pipsqueak.

--What exactly is your point about Latin? I do not see anything he is doing that is wrong as he post positive stuff about Prince to which there is plenty of avaliable who cares if it was posted before as no one on this board uses the search engine. Spell out what your issues are?

This thread went off the rails quick. And really for no good, valid damn reason. What the f has been going on here the last months all the nastiness and mudd slinging. Really, why all the hate? Latin is not doing anything wrong is sharing Prince stories and information to fellow Prince supporters, and what the f is wrong with that? Absolutely nothing. Thank u Latin for your info and rising above all the unnecessary b.s.

There have been MANY other things that have gone on that Latin is TOTALLY aware of, as are half the posters here, that I have not said anything about.

THAT is why it's best not to jump into other people's relationships with an opinion...and withOUT the facts.

HowEVER...
It is NOT that big a deal to me.
People have just MADE it so, for DRAMA, and to have a place to get out all their personal life issues, and to have ONE PERSON to gang up on, so everyone else can feel better and be "friends".

If Angel is the "bad one", there a scapegoat, and everyone else can feel better again.

It happens in groups sometimes.

I do not mind being used in this way. I'm strong and God always shows me the positive in it.

I felt like pointing out one thing I've seen, it wasn't that big a deal, people do that all the time here with each other, and all the "stans" of one protege jumped ugly on me for it. It's nothing new.

Everybody can go back about their business now.

I never regret my words, I didn't kill anyone and I also don't gang up on one person, I'm not in Jr High school, and yes, there HAS been a lot of hostility here lately, and it's a good time for me to spend very little time here now.

I find that when I take a break sometimes from all the bullshit and personalities, my relationship with Prince is much stronger. No one's in the way. Prince is cool with this and isn't upset with me at all.

And yet you are the one who started the drama........seriously, you did this. If it wasn't that big of a deal for you, then you wouldn't have said a damn thing. YOU wanted to start drama, and now it's too much for you to handle.

.

Did you channel Prince last night? What did he say? Did he say, that you owe Latin an apology? Luv4oneanother?

.

Prince is cool with this and isn't upset with you at all? LMFAO. eek lol Yeah, I'm sure he's cool with you saying that Latin is a nobody, blah, blah blah......Next time you talk to Prince, why don't you ask him how he died.

Yes, hence the re-posting of such an old article today, and Latin's only response on this thread thus far. LOL.

Personally, I appreciate everything Latin hunts down and posts-regardless of whether the original article was posted today or a year ago. Not sure what relevance that has to my question. Furthermore,why are you dogging Latin for responding to a question that I asked ? And being that there is no "tone" to a text, maybe I'm taking the appearance of sarcasm for something you are truly finding humorous(hence the "LOL!") no? [Edited 6/1/17 16:17pm]

Me too. Latin is one of the nicest people here. confused


Me three....always look forward to Latins posts.
Thanks again Latin for another good link!

Just can't be doing with all this negativity, if you can't say something nice, say nothing at all!

Thank you Latin for this and all the other little gems that you find.

Peace to one and all x

Amen and Hallelujah to this lucylula! It is what I teach my kids and students. If you come across a post you do not like say nothing at all and just keep it moving! I was really enjoying this post until this thing got hijacked and went out left field. Come on people the world has enough negativity in it! Why do we need to bring this to the org? Prince was not about being negative to each other he was all about love. I appreciate the things Latin has posted here and I applaude Latin for bringing something positive on the org for all of us to share.

Wow he wanted to have a tv show for Andy? That's impressive. Is the subject of Andy the bone of contention here?

This is another lovely quote from the article:

"During this time I learned two things about Prince that I think of as
musical genius. First, Prince was a first-class musician and could
improvise as if he was a jazz musician. His band members could all do the
same. At several points during the concerts, he would say to the audience
“This is real music by real musicians.” This was on top of his
compositional skills; so many hits! Every day the band would spend much of
their rehearsal time on one or two songs to get them perfect. That night
during the concert, they’d come with a playlist that was largely different
from the previous night, and those songs that they repeated were in a
different order. “When did they rehearse this?” I would ask myself."
