RIP Prince...
The purple paisley one has died a sad and miserable death.No matter if you like his music or not the fact remains the dude was way talented .Eric Clapton was asked once what it was like to be one of the the greatest guitar players of all time ,he replied " I dunno ,why dont you ask Prince ?"
You can wail and whine all you like but certain facts are not going to change because you do. Its you who must change and be changed. Accept the pardon from the Saviour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beeno calling for a realistic spiritual evaluation by all who are lost.
You my arrogant Beandip have no say in the matter.
Don't be surprised if you find yourself in the pit of Hell one fine day ...
What on earth are you babbling about now, Baboon? What did Prince ever do to offend your sanctimonious and judgmental christian sensibilities?
Beans, try getting some information before opening your bigoted trap!
Various Jehovah's Witnesses have confirmed that Prince is an active adherent (Bible student, who attends JW meetings), although he is not a full-fledged "publisher."
People familiar with Prince's background are not so surprised that he would take an interest in a group that is intensely dedicated to the Bible. Prince was raised as a Seventh-day Adventist, and has always had a spiritual bent.
Prince has appeared on lists of "famous Vegans." It is clear, however, that to whatever extent Prince lives a vegan lifestyle, Veganism does not function as a religion for him. Veganism is merely a dietary lifestyle choice which is a component of his religious background as a Seventh-day Adventist. It is very common for Seventh-day Adventists to be vegetarians. Prince may, in fact, not actually be a vegan, but may simply be a vegetarian.
The following brief article, which was published by Associated Press (May 27, 2001) and carried in newspapers worldwide, was the first major source of this information:
NEW YORK: A G-rated Prince? It may be hard to believe, but the singer who once provoked shock waves with his X-rated lyrics has sworn off cursing and is preaching about the importance of virtue in the May edition of Gotham magazine.From: Sean O'Hagan, "Royal Blush", published in The Observer, 4 April 2004 (http://www.guardian.co.uk/arts/features/story/0,11710,1186112,00.html; viewed 15 November 2005):Prince, who is now a Jehovah's Witness, said that "when you use those (curse) words, you call up all the anger, all the negatives times the word has been used before you bring it toward yourself. Why would you want that?"
Prince also told the magazine that teens need more God in their lives.
"When I look at the violence, I wonder where the parents are, but also where is God in their lives? A kid is an open computer ready for programming. Some weird relationships happen, smoking too early and sex."
Jehovah's Witnesses are an apocalyptic group that interprets the Bible differently than traditional Christian organizations.
Given all that has happened, then, it is perhaps unsurprising that, like many pioneering black artists before him, Prince has sought solace in the church. Though he was brought up as a practising Seventh Day Adventist he has recently, like Michael Jackson before him, become a Jehovah's Witness.The story of his conversion broke in typically surreal fashion last October, when a newspaper in his hometown reported how a married couple had answered their door to find Prince proffering a copy of the Watchtower. Though they were orthodox Jews, and it was Yom Kippur, they were also Prince fans. They welcomed him into the house where, with his friend Larry Graham, erstwhile member of Sly & the Family Stone, one of Prince's core influences, he spread the word of Jehovah for 20 minutes before moving on to the next house.

Wow, that's a bit sudden Dense. Dare we hope this time you'll stick to your word?
As for your link, are you saying that Prince is so insignificant that he doesn't even merit his own tribute and he has to piggy-back on a 12 year old farewell to George Harrison?
