Well do u believe it?
IN MY OPINION (and please can we get in the habit of using this):
musicology isn't all that clean, he still touches on his raunchy side, its almost like he wants to come out, but isn't going to do it because he has already told us that he wasn't gonna do the "nasty stuff" anymore.....

some how i believe that he will do it again, maybe not now, but he will eventually just explode!!! i mean imagine him on stage and just pausing in a trance then just busting out with "man i just can't take it anymore, WHO WANT SOME HEAD!!!??"

but do u actually believe that is the end of that, i mean really?

no more head?
no more dirty mind?

i think its more than likely true

It doesn't matter to me whether he does or not, I still love him and his work, but I DO think he'll revert back to it sooner or later

Not gonna do it.


It all depends on your definition of "raunchy." I've noticed that even if a song is only suggestive some fans here call them "dirty," or "nasty," etc. There are explicit songs and there are suggestive songs, he's never stopped being suggestive.

As long as someone is alive, nothing can be "forever" or "never again". I think he's committed to this change in style, but who knows what things will be like in ten years?

Ha! I'm with you, Supernova.

Its not taht he's Hiding his raunchiness its just no Original anymore
he likes doing wholesome entertainment cause nobody does it Nemore
He laces Musicology with some sensual Innuendo cause thats his nature hes a sexual person
but thats all Mani's now
we only get a taste of it

Well, when he found the JEHOVAHs he CHANGED his Act of SWEARING. He Now is more into being Kinda like Family Oriented with BRING the kids so he doesn't wanna Swear .Prince of Now is NOT the PRINCE of 1984 or even 1994. He's Wonderful and Alland he's SEXY and ALL BUt in a MORE SUBDUED and CLASSY Way. I Think Mani has Changed him. I Think she is SUBDUED and Laid Back not as WILD as MAYTE and the INSPIRATION she gives to Him is More one of Peaceful and Calmly MIld in Approach. I don't Believe Prince has all that KINDa Hyper Crazy like he did in the Mayte Days OF WILD. I Think his 30's were a BIT like he was Gangbusters and well it was a Different time also.I Actually and being a longtime fan well I Truly Don't Miss all the Cursing and I think Prince is So Great and his Music so Beautifully Profound that Seriously he doesn't have to be like the Rappers and be all Bravado and all That Crazy to be Cool! Prince just is Cool and he don't need all the THEATRICS. All he Needs is His Guitar and his Bad Gorgeous self in a Suit and Seriously he will Tear Up The Stage and he will Knock Ya Off Ya Feet. He's That Tremendous a Performer. Who needs More than his Brilliance on Guitar to Delight or Himself on Piano to make ya Heart just Ache. Ya know ...Ya just need Prince to be who he is PRINCE!!

He probably shares the raunchy songs with Mani.
