"What are people saying about da man at the Salad Inn DVD? Could it be that they never xpected the brutha to give D.W. Griffith, Eisenstein, Welles and Scorcese a run for their money? If Rave into the year 2000 was da man's Mean Street, then this must be his Raging Bull -- a cinematic piece of heaven best enjoyed after a week of Bible study with five or six glasses of Merlot and wine nuts."

N.E.W.S... xceptional and unxplainable... the entire cd is something that brings your consciousness and subconsciousness to a pure state of unconditional love... its kinda like making love 24/7 and never needing to look at time again... A place remotely sacred... is so fired in the heart... a place that requires a seven day... Bible Study Communion with heaven... and brings forth ... aseed of... unxplainable... birth... perspiration alluring simply is... the energy created from the outcome of the inflow of what is taking place... the CD + a glass or two of merlot to get the fire furnace (alchemy) going... the purest form of love undeniable...that even angels in the atmosphere... would make love... in energy... watching... true love... so divine... Take care.. and final post. SingMia. Thank U for the journey was fun... No, Thank you my friend, Thanks for everything. love you baby but not like my guitar | |

Muffy said: Well,he's right about it being Divine and he gave birth to a Masterpiece and well I was listening to it and well it just Healed me. Copulating in a place so Divine Prince God nad Sex. That album is just so Calm and Peaceful and just Well like Floating on a Cloud in Heaven. I don't know how older fans don't get it. You would if it were what you Needed and well you felt it and well Prince was like a Spiritual Music Man...A Healer of your ills. The music has always spoken for him. Graffiti Bridge Religion and Music spoke for him. He didn't Need to Express himself Verbally. The music spoke for him. Still he can talk Prince Ebonics and we get him. He's ahead of his time and all. Never Underestimate the Genius of Prince.
Right on, Muffy! Some people say that the magic is gone, but I disagree. It is still there. I have experienced it to be a very gentle spiritual high though. I really miss that sacred eroticity/creativity that works previous to The Rainbow Children used to emanate. NEWS as well as TRC are great works of musicianship and I enjoy listening to them very much, but something is missing. Believe it or not, I had a very special dream that was decisive in my becoming a fan. I find that Prince's music has healed me in many ways. | |

Yeah, I remember reading this in an article a few years back. What a lucky girl! | |

from the brilliant mind of the man behind that big purple curtain over there, pressin buttons and shiftin gears... If U R referring 2 prince making that statement, and whether or not the "brilliant" man did so, It IS indeed brilliant, as well as beautifully worded, IMHO, whoever it was. I dont understand ALL of it, but enough of it 2 get the drift of what he's saying. Dont 4get prince doesnt ALWAYS speak in ways that one can, or cant understand...He has spoken with very simple, understandable words in the past, just as he can express himself in a more complex way...that people tend NOT 2 understand. He probably realizes there R people who will NOT understand some of his more complex thoughts, but then, he probably isnt speaking 2 "THOSE" people... May the BELLS ring 4 U even when ur not in love.   | |

WHAT IS IT WITH NEWS: that makes people search 4 adjectives and xcuses? Could it b that no one EVER xpected that da man would go 2 a place so remotely sacred? A place that requires seven days Bible study and a midwife? What makes persipration so alluring? This Cd and a glass or 2 of Merlot with the stereo on VOLUME HIGH? Somebody tell US??!

People who don't like NEWS aren't making excuses, they are entitled to dislike it and say so. Don't we all use adjectives to describe that which we like or dislike? Just because NEWS is the product of getting inspired and significant effort, doesn't mean that everybody has to like it. Frankly, I don't find anything divine about it. After listening to it four days in a row and comparing it to other cool and acid jazz artists, I don't like it at all. Even TRC and ONA are lifelier despite the controversial lyrics and the preaching. | |

Hey Gyros isnt that a bit harsh?
I thought it sounded cool. | |

well it doesn't matter now, hey. they've deleted the confusing post and replaced it with an accolade written by a fanm about people who APPRECIATE the music versus people who WHINE about it.
NPGMC even censors itself apparently. . . | |

I thought it sounded cool. Forgive me, Freaker. I tend to say harsh things when I am under a lot of stress. Thanks for sharing that NPGMC post with all of us. It is a very poetic post and contains similar enigmatic language like the one used in TRC.

Listening to NEWS is like meeting a new person about whom I've heard good and bad things. Unless I put aside all those comments, I won't get to know that person for who he is. So, I decided to give NEWS one more chance. Right now, I am listening to it with no expectations. I am starting to appreciate and feel the beauty of it all. NEWS is a challenge different from TRC and ONA. On those, I had to stop thinking whether the JW religion is good or bad. Afterall, I bought those CDs knowing that Prince is a JW. At some point, I hesitated between moving on or adapting to the change and continue to be a fan. I chose the latter option. I am looking forward to next challenging album. No, the magic hasn't disappeared, it is there to be discovered with an open mind. | |
