- Exactly. And how would our Prince reacted to this then you think ? He probably would've send Sheila or Hannah... lol No just kidding. I mean, he probably would've made some fuzz out of it for sure, for whatever reason. It is great news though. Great recognition well deserved. Although I have no idea how this 'honor' will turn out. -

I've called and spoke to my local senator and encouraged them to support this monumental commendation of Prince's(r.i.p.) talent, cultural impact, and historical LEGACY! for my favorite artist & entertainer PRINCE ROGERS NELSON(r.i.p.).

I saw that on twitter earlier today, excuse my ignorance though, what does a confessional honor entails? Is it just a tribute or does it protect his intellectual property in some form? I’m not from the US, so be patient with my inquiry ![]() | |

It is Congress's highest expression of national appreciation for distinguished achievements and contributions by individuals or institutions. ... U.S. citizenship is not a requirement.

If I understand it correctly, citizens can contact their state's representatives to votes yes on the bill. I'm not sure when it's slated to be voted on. Time keeps on slipping into the future...

I mean...Prince desrves all the accolades, but I have mixed feelings about The State getting in on the action. try my best to never get bored..." | |

- I even think without (enough?) votes, this might pass. Why propse the idea in the first place? To have it end in dissapointmet ? Like, naaaah, rather not... That would be a mistake. - Did anyone actully didn't get the medal? I'm European, have no idea about this thing... - "The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves. And wiser people so full of doubts."

It needs a 2/3 vote in Congress to pass. Time keeps on slipping into the future...

Simple majority maybe possibly. Two-thirds? I'd be shocked. | |

Maybe if he had tooted his own horn about his charity work. But that wasn't him. | |

Then it will never happen. Half of those people have probably never even heard of Prince- those like McConnel, Pelosy, Shumer, etc. | |

- Oh I seem to remember that Nancy Pelosi mentioned Prince once, somewhere... Can't find it though. But she liked his music, something liek that, that I do remember. Her son in law is a Dutch journalist, and somewhere in that context I remember that. - "The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves.

For some reason I feel like the article should appear in the Politics and Religion Forum. Welcome to "the org", heartpeacesheart…
