I wasn’t really a fan of his music although I did buy the 1999 album (which later I regretted as it wasn’t really that appealing to me) and I purchased the Controversy single and maybe some others… but that style of funk-pop wasn’t really my bag but the hype pulled me in.īut he certainly left his mark on the world. Having said all that and not withstanding his comments (which I don’t agree with and it’s unfortunate he said or implied such things.) – I think Prince was quite an amazing artist and a very driven creative individual. Imagination… see the artwork on some of his earlier releases. If you see the images and listen to the records from prior his conversion to JH you’ll come away with thinking that this person was obsessed with I think Prince was a troubled individual and fearful too … he was afraid of people in certain situations and kept a very close circle and maybe he barricaded himself in his multi million dollar fortress compound to escape the world outside. I read that Boy George (George O’Dowd) was quoted as saying that he and Prince had got it on back in the day. Personally I think Prince had a lot of issues and he openly admitted that before he converted to JH he did a lot of things he later regretted or later disapproved.
I totally respect that you feel that way, though I disagree with the basis of your questions. It’s unbelievable and seriously disgusts me. I’m not sure why that would be a goal.īetter yet, if he was alive today, would you still take the opportunity to take shot at him? No, I really don’t think anyone forgot about Prince after reading this article. I’m not sure I’m the one doing the bashing here.ĭo you think you’re going to get mobs of Prince fans to forget about him because of a 2008 interview? You’re supposed to be a progressive publication about the industry and instead you use your voice to bash the deceased. I felt this was important to discuss and get out there people’s lives should be viewed honestly. Societally, it’s considered poor form to speak negatively against someone who just died.
What’s sickening and disgusting is less than a week after he passed you would write something like this. I felt it was relevant, and so do many gays and lesbians. Knowing that celebrity and fame don’t equal happiness (and can end in early death) could help lots of people make decisions… If his lifestyle choices - drug use, perhaps promiscuity - ends in an early death, should the public know it? I say yes, if we are told about everything else - former lovers, his religious beliefs, etc etc. His death was almost certainly a result of his lifestyle (he had that ‘save shot’ days before his death.) It is also perhaps very likely that he was HIV positive (the site Blindgossip predicted Prince’s death just days before he died…and hinting that his religion made him stop taking medication), which would have impacted all his partners (and he was known to be promiscuous). If we are to hear about his the effect his musical genius had on the public, we should also hear about the consequences of his personal choices. Legal? I suppose, but certainly creepy.Īlso: he was a major drug addict (percoset, dilaudid).
He also courted/dated a 17 year old when he was 32.
