Wow NUPWRSOUL and m-maxx...you know how i feel about you
brothas. your opinions really do stimulate me. Props to both, NUPWRSOUL,like you i read (just finished it today) Possessed. And a lot of the book-prince's mindset-character changes sort of goes along with your conversion theories. as someone who has went through some spiritual awakenings (not likw p or larry) i think much of what you say makes sense. one thing about larry g as opposed to prince. larry always was into his spirituality but the reason it bothers people so much now is because he went from a TRADitional "baptist" view to an extremist one as a Jw. i know LOts of JW's (some have been friends) and most people who practice the faith are unbelievable Narrow-minded as well as heavy-handed. Larry did take prince under his wing. but i think prince was looking for something else to explore. reading dsmr & possessed you and i know that prince psychological make-up is a long winding,ever changing thing. despite all of the SEXUAL material he's done over the years in a quirky way he seems to have a conventional side-one that contradicts things he has done to himself and his peers. what i'm saying is the brotha New views are probably far rigid than his mentors (larry is) because by nature prince never does anything he believes in Halfhearted. now here's the trick: will a year from now Prince still be a JW who is DOWN on people who aren't into this like he is... or will he turn against Larry and get into something else? anything is possible with him. again you and m-maxx are DA best. keep an old-school P fan like me stimulated. oh yeah..m-maxx poor r.kelly an complex psychological study too. his situation (plight) isn't funny. my heart goes out to the brotha. | |

And I've been out of my depth for a while... But actually I like this view that history does have a real impact on the culture existing today, even if we acknowledge "history" itself to be a site of contending discourses and not a monolithic "truth." Although it sounds like this impact is analogous and not identical to the original experience, no?Okay my head hurts now. 
This is gonna have to marinate for a while. "That...magic, the start of something revolutionary-the Minneapolis Sound, we should cherish it and not punish prince for not being able to replicate it."-Dreamshaman32 | |
