There is a very good reason he did that -

I have to interject on your opinionated, UNEDUCATED remark since it only goes to show what little you do know about music. You are obviously biased to certain genres and therefore the mindset stays very narrow.

Now I'm not a big Prince fan, but I do know he is one of the most talented guys out there. And his credits prove that: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:nye997q7krgt~T4

I certainly am not a big Hank Williams fan, but i can appreciate what he did as a songwriter. Now if he spent more time writing, and less time drinking and screwing everything that moved, he would've accomplished much more.

For those interested:

The Foo Fighters covered ' Darling Nikki' on a previous album without permission from Prince. Granted they didn't need permission due to the writers first use clause, but he was miffed regardless. Thus Prince covered the Foo's song, AND played it less than 30 seconds on air, stripping the Foo's of any royalties and sync fees.

Not that Prince needs the money, but he still made roughly $500,000 from them covering Darling Nikki.

Youngsters, I was around for the birth of Rock and Roll....before it morphed into Rock and the various permutations that arose after the 1960s. That evolution has not been a pretty one.

I shouldn't have to like every form of music ever devised to meet your definition of "open minded." I summarily reject any song or "music" genre that is characterized by cursing, juvenile fascination with sex and bodily fluids, and mindlessly repetitive musical scores and lyrics. While this does not condemn all modern rock it DOES condemn almost all rap, which garners the same amount of contempt from me as does the mindlessly repetitive "choruses" of modern religious music.

While my musical training isn't extensive, I wouldn't call it meager either, and leans toward vocal harmony....a dieing art form in today's world.

I keep hearing a lot about Prince's "talent." Well sirs, in my admittedly biased opinion, talent abused is talent wasted. If Michelangelo had used his considerable talent for sculpture to create a statue of an erect phallus ejaculating....well, THAT would be an abuse of that talent...and a total waste.

If you're so worried about boobs, dicks and *******, send them all here we know how to use them.

like 60's and 70's music wasn't filled with tounge-in-cheek innuendos and other sexual references.....

mars01 · « **Reply #99 on:** February 08, 2007, 09:26:33 AM »

well if he played the Foos for spite, then all these guys are right Prince is an stunninghunk LOLH.

Don't worry shucking put your head back in your hole it will be all right.

I wouldn't say he was an a** about it - they apparently patched things up and had a good laugh BEFORE he played the Super Bowl.

Shuckins, It's basically apples and oranges in preference to music - but even out of the 40's Big Band era, you end up with the founder of sexual innuendo and live gyrations: ELVIS

I'm assuming you instead listened to some good ole Jim Nabors

It's been around man - so don't blame today for today's music. I've noticed that as I get older, the less I can associate with the current sound of pop culture. And I'm only 34. I have a bit of bias as well, but I give all forms of music a chance.

As for harmonies, there are tons of artists that can pull it off today, just as the 90's 80's 70's 60's 50's 40's. . .

Ask and I'll turn you on to some good clean rock. Or country. Or jazz. Cheers.

Me also.

I turn 50 tomorrow. Haven't watched TV in 2 1/2 years except 10 days of Olympics and Pope John Paul II's Funeral Mass.

I don't think for one moment I've missed anything worthwhile.

Black Sheep...you're right, it is an apples and oranges thing, at least as far as personal taste goes. Also, Ole Swivel Hips certainly pushed the limits of vulgarity in the 1950s, and certainly there was sexual innuendo in much of the music of the 1960s. Yet, I think we can both agree that such innuendo is light years behind some of the lyrics to be heard in today's music. NOTHING is left to the imagination. It's not only grossly vulgar....it's pornographic....and a total turnoff to anyone with even a modicum of good taste...and good sense. Regards.

Hap....I know what you mean. The wife and I rarely watch tv anymore. The latest sit-coms are about as funny as listening to a bunch of seventh graders tell dirty jokes. I've outgrown that. If there isn't an old, classic movie on....we watch The Closer, Law and Order re-runs....or the History Channel. Even the modern cartoons on the Cartoon Channel are achingly stupid or 3-frames-per-second Manga. Quality has left the scene. Regards.

Waffle....As I said to Black Sheep, sexual innuendo is a far cry from what is found in modern music....and that is why the modern stuff, as exemplified by Prince is a total turnoff and waste of talent on his part. If you enjoy it, fine by me. As for me, it makes my skin crawl. Regards.

Mr. RiplEy [H]....Sorry, I have none to spare.

Regards.

mars01....If you wish to argue the merits of your favorite music you should take notice of the class with which the gentlemen listed above debated the merits of my views. Engaging in insults is crass, boorish, and generally in bad taste. A gentleman would not use such tools of argument...so with that in mind, I have only one thing to say......

.....Bite me!

Ah me! I crack me up!

Regards, Shuckins
