I heard he was Jehovah’s Witness.
I was at work when I heard the news. Grew up with Prince’s music.
Legendary
When all the facts come out...
We’ll see.
“steamiest pop culture figures in the past quarter-century was a conservative Christian.”
Huh? i listened to his records for a LOOOONG time, and most of his songs is about hot chicks and getting laid...which helped me with some girls back in high school but that’s another story.
I don’t know about the conservative Christian part, but I can see Prince opposing something as popular in his circles as gay “marriage”, just to troll them. His music was not really my kind of thing, but he was very talented, and an interesting character, to say the least.
Who?
I understand that he may have overdosed on cocaine and never liked girls. Am I wrong? Frankly, I never knew who he was.
Hooked on opiates..?
He was SUPER SUPER religious.
Huuuuuuuuge Jesus freak.
Are you speaking of the Artist previously known as alive?
Y’all should look up Prince’s lyrics to “If I was your girldriend”. Not exactly homo, but somewhat twisted.
The bio I read today said Jehovah Witness.
That and a horse user perhaps.
be a Christian LIVE like a Christian....if you live like marriage doesn’t mean anything, and promiscuity doesn’t mean anything, and pandering to the lowest in moral behavior doesn’t mean anything, then Christianity doesn’t mean anything either...
He just died and likely through carelessness
Alone and probably afraid in a frigging elevator
It’s a bit early for his death to get the customary free republic lock in a sock beating
Let it rest a little
When I worked in Chanhassen on the night shift, we dealt with his weirdo entourage (although, he may have been with them at the time, and I didn’t even realize it). I got the idea he was more new agey than anything Christian.
“God came to earth and saw people sticking it wherever and doing it with whatever, and he just cleared it all out,” he told the magazine. “He was, like, ‘Enough’.”
He was conservative but not a Christian. He was JW
Prince was a Conservative Christian; Trump is a Conservative Republican.
I do not think that word means what you think it means.
Darling Nikki? Little Red Corvette? Gospel Music???
I heard he did build community centers and playgrounds years ago (I’m not joking here, this is not satire), and never would take credit.
He always did it through intermediaries to avoid having his name related to it.
I heard this because I am a contractor who fits pipe, and I know someone who did a couple of these projects (re-builds on women’s shelters near/in the Twin Cities) who told me Prince was the backer through another developer.
I always assumed it was true, I had no reason to doubt the guy, and I really never knew who Prince was other than hearing the name on the TV at various times.
I have heard of several celebrities who have done things similar, and they have always impressed me when they go through lengths to make sure they never get credit. That to me is impressive and noteworthy.
His personal life? I have no idea. But anonymous philanthropy says measures about a person.
