When I first came here, during the cooling off/no posting period, one of the things I initially noticed was this high level of Larry-hate. Couldn't figure out WTF was going on. Using the search engine (remember that?), came to find out that quite a few folks had deduced that Larry had done some kind of Jedi/Jehovah mind trick on Prince. Ridiculous  Never knew that Prince had so many closet business / personal / spiritual advisors on this board. 
Why is it so difficult for folks to accept that... ...Prince is a grown man, able to make his own decisions based on what he feels is best for him and not you. ...He enjoyed playing with Larry and that's why he hired him. Case closed. Deal with it or find some other pop star's jock to ride.  What was the subject again?

Im not in prince's life.. but it did seem whenever larry was around, Prince was vunerable about a lot of things.. I understand he was a grown man when he came along, but his ideas changed so abruptly.. yes, he obviously was ready for a change and accepted a lot of things larry obviously presented the man..
for better or worse (that part doesnt matter).. it made me think very differently of Prince. | |

for better or worse (that part doesnt matter).. it made me think very differently of Prince. See, that's a very measured and reasoned observation. Very different from some of the lunacy i've read in the past. tA Tribal Disorder

[Edited 5/17/05 14:48pm] Hell yeah. But u think that's gonna happen when we (or I anyways) have been waiting on a motion picture about the greatest guitarist that ever lived to end up with some bullshit on Showtime? Nah, they'll just keep doing Elvis movies. SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

Fuck that guy and his big white hat.  Larry GrahamSure he's a hustler. So is Prince. Selling 2001-Prince-calendars on his website and charging people for downloading TV-specials is nothing but a hustle. But FYI: Larry has been doing quite well before he hooked up with Prince. In 1994 he reunited his group Graham Central Station and played sold out performances all over the world. Over the long run, I actually believe that his association with Prince hurt him more than it benefited him. I never even heard of the fuck until Prince pimped his out all over the tours.

If you do a little research you will find out that Larry was a little off the chain back in the day. He grew up and reformed and maybe that is why Prince hooked up with him. Maybe he sees that he can grow up and change to. I don't think it is anymore deep than that. Wow, you must be so in love with me.

OK, so Sly had drug problems and Larry became a JW, but why did he want to actually KILL him ? Why the hatred ? I have a better question: Sly Stone vs. Larry Graham.....who made who?  | |

same reason everyone who's ever been in a room with him wants to kill Larry Graham, and i'm just talking about people who've had to suffer through his shenanigans at Prince concerts. i can't even imagine how punch-worthy he is if you actually know him.
