I’m with you Pete. There’s been a lot of talk on various list-servs about this. I can only hope he was horribly misquoted. But at the same time, there’s part of me that wouldn’t be surprised if those were his words.

Look, I’m not a JW, and I don’t claim to be an expert on their beliefs. Everyone is entitled to do their own thing, as far as I’m concerned. And that used to be Prince’s attitude. Many of his greatest songs were spiritually oriented – Anna Stesia, The Cross, 4 the Tears in Your Eyes, et. al. But these songs were expressions of spirituality that did not seek to judge. These days, Prince is more concerned with judgment of others’ beliefs rather than respecting differences.

This is when I get annoyed with religious people – when rather than respecting differences, it gets shoved down the throats of others. I don’t think others need to believe what I believe to be good people.

what the —-! I’m so tired of all the talk…so he’s older,
his music has changed, haven’t we all in our own way? There’s no comparison to us and our every day normal(somewhat) lives and his, but it’s relative. Things change and we grow Thank God. I’m no one in the business, but I know I’m not the same person… mind or soul as I was when I was fifteen and I don’t expect him to be either…we change it’s the way it should be. The beautiful part is we have our memories – we(and he) can say you know I did it – I did what I felt was true for me at the moment. I’m so happy he’s still around and is not one of the many who has gone onto another life…he’s here and I know anytime I have an opportunity to hear or see him I’m there along with the many others who still appreciate what he did and who he is now – and so it’s ok Prince, that you’re older and have changed you are a classic example of being true to yourself.

And… According to the Prince camp, he was misquoted. Imagine that… You won’t let a reporter come in with a notepad or recording device… And she ‘misquotes’ you. Hmmm…

Anyway… We are all growing and changing everyday. So does Prince. That’s cool. I just wish he would put our another album and tour again. Just me bein’ selfish, I s’pose.

So… Did you happen to catch Purple Reign on Letterman last night? Pretty funny stuff.

It could be worse. He could be doing exactly that (the bikini briefs and whatnot) similar to what Cryptkeeper Madge is out there chasing. Or he could got the total recluse route. I look at it this way. I appreciate his current music for what it is. “Turn Me Loose” and “F.U.N.K.” showed signs of life that had not been present in 3121 or Planet Earth.

As for the remarks… I dunno. He’s hard enough to figure out can you imagine actually talking to him?
