On the subject of a certain line in Dear Mr Man, Jon Bream from the Star Tribune and a guy from the UK's Independant newspaper have very diffent takes:

Independant:
"...especially in "Dear Mr Man", where he opines that there "ain't no sense in voting". Can he really be so dense that he can't tell the difference between the Clinton and Bush programmes, or is he too insulated from their effects? "

Star Tribune:
"In the tradition of Gaye's "What's Goin' On," Prince points out society's ills -- from holes in the ozone to the struggles of the disenfranchised. "Ain't no sense in voting," he rails. "

So which is it? Is Prince suggesting that voting is pointless or pointing out that not voting would be morally wrong?

There is no right or wrong....just popular opinion. Make ur own mind up, then it will be "right" to you.

The former. Same song with a different name - that's plain as can be, isn't it?

My take on it is that Prince is echoing my own voting principles.

If you don't agree or support any of them, then don't vote for any of them! Don't feel that you have to vote for one or the other just because they're the only options given to you.

Surprised the quirkily patriotic Prince would feel this way. I always have, I'm Indian and I've never had a bit of faith in this country.
