Re: R.I.P. Prince
You mean where he recorded all his most famous albums? Yeah, it really didn't spark anything.
Mate I would just give it a rest on this thread, you're coming across super bitter.

Re: R.I.P. Prince
What's worse is that is was the Mirror...citing the National Enquirer.
But I have to say that my bet is on HIV/Aids as well. I think it might have been what led him to turn to Jehovah's Witness in the first place.
But the question remains. Does it really matter?

It does not matter.
However, some people here tried to block freedom of speech, freedom of gossip LOL

Re: R.I.P. Prince
His best and most influential work preceded 2000. Everything thereafter is derivative and almost invisible. And after his tussle with his record company over the use of 'Prince' when he became the 'Artist Formerly Known as Prince', he was essentially off the grid.
I posed the question honestly to people in the 'real' world as well as here about naming his most influential and well known songs in the last 15 years.
Most couldn't even remember Musicology.....and no one could think of a song from it that they would recognize. Most people weren't even aware that he had still been producing any albums since then.
I was a great admirer of Prince and the place he held in music through the eighties and nineties, but I think that he lost his real creative edge about the time that he turned to a hard line religion and tried to distance himself from his past.
By the time he was talking about God not approving of homosexuality and expressing what can only be described as 'gay panic' on some television interviews...I think that we were dealing with an uptight guy in full denial about his own past.
So I am certainly sad about the loss of Prince...but to be honest, I think we lost the best of him about 15 years ago.

Re: R.I.P. Prince
It matters in the sense that HIV/AIDS is still a stigma and it should be talked about. Obviously health is a personal matter and Prince was within his rights to be private about his, but it would have been helpful if he was more open.

Re: R.I.P. Prince
IF it was AIDS...the stigma of it is enough to give it a rest..and some respect. WHY is AIDS subject to more gossip and speculation that cancer or pneumonia?...or heart disease or strokes? Often..our choices in life contributed to all of these conditions...
I know why! It is because AIDS requires (gasp) S E X! Puritanical Americans and now gay people even blame the victim.
People with AIDS "did something bad" and thus deserved to be punished for their immoral behavior.
The ultimate slut shamer...

No,

Re: R.I.P. Prince
I certainly would not disagree with Alnitak's statement. I have incredible respect for guys like Magic Johnson who were open and forthright about it. There is no doubt that most of the world still thinks of people with HIV as deserving victims of a disease that they caught by fucking or drug-use...with real sympathy really only given to those who got it through transfusion of infected blood.
We need people to remind everyone every day that HIV is nothing more or less than an opportunistic virus that has found a very effective means of transmission....pretty much like influenza or the common cold.

Re: R.I.P. Prince
..but people and family members will bite your head off if you suggested that the person who died from any of the other diseases were responsible for their death....
People more often that not agree that the AIDS death "deserved it"...or asked for it...and if normalizing it or opening it up for conversation is the point..my point is a valid entry to the discussion....

Re: R.I.P. Prince
Partly.
Two-thirds of cancer risk is completely chance - Bad Luck of Random Mutations Plays Predominant Role in Cancer, Study Shows
Heart disease is more preventable - smoking, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure all increase risk dramatically and they can be controlled.
And bottoms have 10 times the risk of a top.

Re: R.I.P. Prince
I do understand about the randomness of cancer....I am referring to the person who doesn't get the check up or ignores the warning signs when stage one or two is present....assuming there are warning signs of course....
The thing with AIDS though...people do blame the victim...almost universally. I would hope that gay people at least would be better than that.....

Prince- Gay or Straight?
What do you all think? Was Prince gay? I think so. Your opinions?

Re: Prince- Gay or Straight?
Gay, a delusional one. Probably liked trannies too, so bi.
That settles it then.

Re: Prince- Gay or Straight?
I don't care and I honestly don't know why anyone else cares, his sexuality was his business and his business only, even though he flaunted a lot of sexuality in sexually-charged songs and music videos in his career. I don't care if he was straight, gay, bi, or whatever. Prince could have been a sex-changing lizard and I would still have liked him. Prince, just like Madonna, Samantha Fox, Elvis Presley and Little Richard, were/are sex symbols but they were more than sex. Here we go again being obsessed with someone's sexuality. *rolls eyes hard*

Re: Prince- Gay or Straight?
Well said!! I agree. I am going to remember him for the musical genius he was, not sit and ponder whether he liked fanny or cock, or even both!! Couldn't give a shit really, I am more concerned about listening to his music

Re: Prince- Gay or Straight?
I agree with the both of you. I honestly just thought he was metrosexual and left it as that. Was more into his music than his personal life
Speaking of Little Richard, I heard he's in the hospital not doing so well
