Prince Accused of Morality
The creepily androgynous pop star once again known as Prince has reportedly indulged in morality. The New Yorker reports:
When asked about his perspective on social issues — gay marriage, abortion — Prince tapped his Bible and said, "God came to earth and saw people sticking it wherever and doing it with whatever, and he just cleared it all out. He was, like, 'Enough.'"
Obviously a musician who can distinguish between right and wrong and even refers to the Bible is not viable in the godless cesspool the entertainment establishment promotes as our popular culture. Gasps the Dish Rag at the LA Times:
He's now against gays having equal rights? Wow. Talk about alienating your base.
The Prince camp is in damage control mode, claiming he was grossly misquoted. But the liberal elite snoots at the New Yorker stand by their shocking exposé.
On a tip from Burning Hot.

This is the same Prince that played an oddly shaped guitar at the super bowl in order to create a phallic silhouette...

It should be interesting to see how the brainless, immoral pricks at Rolling Stone (Though a more apt title for that magazine would be "Rolling Stoners," since the majority of its readers are dirty hippies and college students too baked to put their Birkenstocks on the right feet) react to this.

I am so tired of this garbage about gays not having equal rights, they have every "right" that anyone else does. I have the "right" to marry a woman in my state, so does a gay man; we both however have no "right" to marry a man. Neither of us hold the "right" to homosexual marriage, he cannot, and neither can I.
What the gay community wants is an extension of rights. If they have their way, they in fact will be the ones with additional "rights".
It's utternonsense to say they are lacking in rights, or their rights have been revoked. What a completly sophmoric approach to the debate.

I've been in and out of the music industry for years, and the public has no clue. Most people confuse show biz with reality. Someone truly successful like Prince may have the image of a wild bad boy: phallic guitar, insane eccentric, etc. But only the losers believe (and live) their own publicity.
I don't know Prince, but I peg him as a really sharp, talented and disciplined guy. He must be around 50 now, and still looks good and can deliver. That doesn't happen living a life of dissipation.
So while it may be un-hip to admit you work hard, live right and have some morals, it also means you probably won't end up like James Dean or John Belushi or Janis Joplin. Of course, Rolling Stone won't like that, since it robs them of a lurid headline.

Wow! All this time I thought Prince was gay. Well any ways, good for him for speaking up.

It's always nice to see an unexpected bit of conservatism from a source that liberals would assume is also default liberal.
Schadenfreude anyone? (the good kind.)
