You are so on point. I think guys don't do it that much because they don't want to be seen as soft, gay, etc... but I think it takes a helluva lot of guts to do that. Having said that, there isn't a need for anyone to get next to naked anymore. If a singer has to rely on showing their ass or having dancers half-naked then they shouldn't be doing this. God only know how many artists we've missed out on because all the media ever cared about was if Skanky, I mean Britney Spears was going to show her ass again. It's a damn shame.

You say "...we are fans..."
So...like did I sign up to be part of a collective or something? You do Borg if you like...I'll pass on that one.

You say ""
That's funny. Who makes those little balls anyway?

You say"we are fans of a man who proadly displayed his ass in public and made some of the most freaky, and sexual song outs."

And your point is....

Why are you on a Prince site if you are not a fan?

JANFAN4L said:

Actually the gist would be more I seriously was just goofing but as you hear what you want in lyrics...you see what you want. But yes it's true. I don't play that song. Haven't heard Janet's last CD either. I do like her but am no die hard.

Anyway this wasn't really a Janet thread. But you guys kept going on about the minutiae in a particular song. I couldn't resist.

Janfriend said:

Oh. I didn't know that I said that. Actually I'm quite certain that I didn't. But since I unknowingly signed up for this "collective" thing...and since we are all one in thought and one in taste...I guess you know better than I do what it is I mean.

anon said:

My point is why were you all making a big discussing out of Janet's bisexuality reference's in songs when Prince has did all the time in song and in costume.

Hotlegs said:

If you read back you will see that I didn't really. I came in on the dispute over whether the song was about a threesome or whether it was bi thing. I say it's the latter but if it's not, it really doesn't matter. It's just a song.

Anyway you make that statement " WE are fans of a man who proadly displayed his ass in public and made some of the most freaky, and sexual song outs. " like we all share the same experience and must think the same:

The single most annoying thing I've observed on the org is "WE".
That's the word of one who follows...and in the context that it's used, it's a very scary word.
Some feel comfortable with that and if that's your thing then cool. But don't impose your "WE" on everyone else:

"WE" at the org like this artist. "WE" at the org don't like that artist.
"Since we are P fans we accept, reject, love, hate etc..."
For all of you so into "WE"...How about:
"Since we are fans of P "WE" will try to have original and unique thoughts"

Anyway, I'm getting hungry. can anyone tell me what "WE" feel like having for dinner?

anon said:

Now, if you have a problem with the word we, so big fucking deal. What's wrong with being a fan of P? I guess the problem lies with yourself.

anon said:

OK, guy. You're making a pointless point about a song you, by your own admission, don't play. How clever.

Now that we've established that. Feel free to add another witty, superfluous retort.

anon said:

There are no words.

Why oh why didn't I take the BLUE pill?

MsLegs said:

You just don't get it. Too bad you don't have a problem with the word. I'm a fan as well but does that mean "WE" must have one collective mindset?

JANFAN4L said:

I guess you don't get it either. I don't play it. Does that mean I can't comment on it? Do you only comment on songs you play/like?

I could care less about the bi ref. And other than the outwardly DUMB comment (which is NOT to be taken seriously) I didn't comment on IT. My point was more about how the song was being USED/misused. That is was almost as if it was there to cover the lot of "gender outcasts". Because the song WAS NOT an "open ended" song.

I kidded about it alienating me because I know that I was not the intended audience.

It was as if it said "This is for you and you and all you other gender freaks...this one bi-sexual song is for all of you. Now talk among yourselves and make it fit.

Guess you just don't see it. But it waters down the gesture when you sell yourself out in the marketing. Call the song what it is! That's all I said.

And to Legs. Prince's career is not only about the "freaky/sexual"songs etc...
His career spans a number of years. My mother just recently became a fan and she has no clue about that stuff. I am a fan and haven't really heard any of those songs. So just 'cause you're a fan doesn't mean you have the same experience AS a fan. This isn't to say that I have a problem with any of that stuff 'cause I don't. Still you have to watch your assumptions.

Dude--we need to hook up sometime and scrog like shit.

AsianBoi777 said:

I'm not really sure how to scrog, but I'd sure like to try it with you

anon said:

It figures . So, you need to save your endless banter for elsewhere. When it comes to knowing an artist who plays good Funk, Im not amateur so you need to check yourself and know who your fucking with my friend and those in the know around the org can tell ya that. I will be easy on you this time and advise you to further listen to Prince's entire catalogue in order to a gist of the complexity of the man.

Honestly, why can't they just ban Marques?

He'll always be that cornball, Roger, from "Sister Sister" to me.

Damn right.

MH is just another Usher - just not as talented.

with that said, his songs are ok - cookie - cuter/radio format type of stuff...4 the youngsters. That pretty much explains it.
