the_artist Rhin formerly known as Prince...kicks ass! I know alot of people shake their heads when someone admits that they like him. But let me tell you...this guy is amazing! He is artistically gifted, if somewhat quite eccentric. He is a very private person, but can draw a whole audience in with his eyes. He is so sensual and erotic. He is an amazing composer, and to top it off, he can play like 15 or 16 instruments! So basically, I could give a rat's ass if you like him or not. He deserves respect, for the musician that he is, even if you don't care for him. So many people tease me about this... By the way, I happen to not like listening to Elton John what-so-ever, but I respect him, and he deserves it. Anyway, I just wanted to get this off of my sweet chest! 001206 ... amy Disclaimer: here comes my gospel. it's probably full of crap, on some level. I think you're right, Rhin. Prince drives me crazy. He's pretty back-and-forth, as far as I can tell: pop. life. everybody needs a thrill. the tension wasn't so high in the eighties. the nineties were pretty tense. all the pop music got vacant. it's the naughts, though! so many spots to fill! i can't do it by myself. i don't even think I can do hardly any of it. i think we have to be willing to struggle, and also willing to party. willing. it takes a lot, sometimes, to get yourself into the willing spot. as_long_as_love_moves_the_soul, though. i'm not sure that we're really supposed to do anything in the wintertime, though. maybe just vaguely. make some connections here and there, and see what comes out of them later. i'm a little confused about that issue, though. work! i feel like it's time to do work. man, i got so much to do. hahaha. i'm a little nuts. woah-no, let's go, supermarkets, i'm telling you... they're magic! i like spirit. 001216 ... chanaka AaAaAaAaAaAaa........pussy control...aahh.. 001216 ... Rhin actually, he has mastered in excess of 20 instruments. that's beside the point. i have a question for anyone out there. i know that Prince has composed many songs (examples: Manic Monday, Nothing Compares To You) for other artists, and in some instances he has even given his songs as gifts. however, i am almost certain that he has composed some country songs? i can't remember where i heard this, but this is a debate between my mother and i that i want to win. 021119 ... minnesota_chris for you, Rhin, because I like your writing. . . from Google, "Using the pseudonym Joey Coco, Prince wrote 'You're My Love' for Kenny Rogers' latest album..." www.startribune.com/stories/389/40703.html But I can't tell if it's country or not. 021119 ... Rhin i completely forgot about his alter egos, and you can't get more country than kenny rogers! sweet! Blatheaven will kiss you for this Chris! thank you for both the compliment & the research! :) (on another note...kenny rogers?! what was he thinking? perhaps they are related in some round-a-bout sorta way, and the song was given to kenny out of family obligation? nahhhhhh.) 021119 ... Rhin i realize that rogers is his middle name. i didn't say it was exactly a well thought out theory. 021119 ... minnesota_chris hee hee he was named after Kenny Rogers! Ya gotta know when to hold 'em. . . 021119 ... Rhin another far-fetched theory... Prince hails from Minnesota. he has written songs under the pseudonym 'Christopher'. is it mere coincidence, or quite believable (regarding Prince' notorious, mysterious nature) that blather can lay claim to its very own 'Minnesota Chris'? ::hmmmmmm:: ;) 021119 ... prince baby you're much too fast! 021119 ... a black bird with a couple of stray purple feather christopher tracy's Parade. 021119 ... Rhin well, bless my paisley thong! it's an honor and beyond oh righteous one! :) 021119 ... lilac_air Smooth and cool hot dreamy steamy purple silk Haze dream instumental sexual female male The artist words flow from his lips like sweet butter Write me a dream my prince to grind across the floor to and to wet my sheets with 021216 what's it to you? who go blather from
