I wonder if Prince continued to believe in the Devil as he matured and let go of some of the JW dogma? It just seems, to me, that believing in the Devil (Satan) is something an adult would outgrow as it is seems to be more a symbol of our darker instincts, not a real entity.

Let's be just a bit careful not to turn this into a full on religious debate. You should read some of Prince's latter interviews. Yes he believed in God, and Satan. | |

I know he believed in God, but Satan? In his later years? I haven't seen all of his later interviews but that belief seems kind of ?? for his mature self who read as widely as he did. I know he believed in Satan when he was a young man. Anyway, I don't need to pursue this line of thought.

He literally saw his own reflection on the album cover that was still freshly wrapped in cellophane while the music blasted through the club speakers! Anyone else here ever trip before? One small guilty thought within those circumstances would freak anyone out and make them rewind a bit, methinks. But, yeah, the lyric is, "eye no there is a heaven and a hell"

Maybe off-topic, but why continue to engage in behaviors that would not amuse God? | |

I always thought "Spooky Electric” was a guitar.

snipping posts that continue an 'anti religion discussion' and disrespect towards Prince...

Spooky was I think relatively clearly his own view of the devil, but I don't think he ever really left the music, he just got a less starring role. He was a religous man throughout his life so you could say that songs such as HAD U which are negative in tone bear some hallmark of spooky electric. I love lovesexy and don't raze the black album that highly at all. It was very exciting to pick up a copy of when it was made available but trading up spooky for positivity was in every way, good | |
