sens,
i don't understand though after all the songs that prince has done how he can decide to be dub i don't get it. and i found this out through a news story of a prince showing up at a woman's door. how weird would that be? in that case if dave were going to go door to door i would be ok with it. i would of course have to sit him down and explain a few things (after he signed about 15 ticket stubs of course) but prince well i couldn't care less i just thought it was strange.

ok here's the story:
C.J.: Jumping Jehovah! Prince goes a door-knockin'
C.J., Star Tribune Published October 12, 2003 CJ12
Proselytizing for Jehovah's Witnesses during last Sunday's Vikings game wasn't the smoothest call Prince has ever made. An Eden Prairie woman, who prefers to be identified only as Rochelle, said, "Door bell rings. My husband runs upstairs and says, 'Prince is at the door!' I said, 'No way.' " Even though this was an inopportune time, they let in the man who introduced himself at "Prince Nelson" and another man. "I'm terrible with names," Rochelle said. "He was a bass player for some group, a long time ago. Older gentleman." Larry Graham? "Very good," Rochelle said. "This is Sunday about 2 o'clock. And it's the night of Yom Kippur. My first thought is 'Cool, cool, cool. He wants to use my house for a set. I'm glad! Demolish the whole thing! Start over!' Then they start in on this Jehovah's Witnesses stuff. I said, 'You know what? You've walked into a Jewish household, and this is not something I'm interested in.' He says, Can I just finish? Then the other guy, Larry Graham, gets out his little Bible and starts reading scriptures about being Jewish and the land of Israel." Uh-oh. Rochelle said she could not help but think, the Vikings had possession of the ball about two seconds ago. "They stayed for about 25 minutes," Rochelle said. "Left us a pamphlet." She should have asked Symbolina for an autograph. "There's no reason to slam him," she said. "He didn't do anything wrong; he was very kind. We watched him leave. Outside is a big black truck with a woman, long dark hair, in the front seat and they left." The woman met the general description of Prince's supposed wife, Manuella. Rochelle seemed perplexed that Prince didn't seem to stop at any other houses in her neighborhood. "They go door-to-door. Walking. He wasn't walking. He was driving." Hey, he was knocking on doors during a Vikings-Falcons game -- you can't expect Symbolina to follow ALL the rules of the religion he declared as his new faith in a 2001 magazine interview. "It was so bizarre, you would have just laughed," she said. The perfect esprit d'escalier came to Rochelle after Prince left: "If I showed up at Paisley [Park], would you let me in your front door to talk about Judaism?" There was no response from Paisley Park, where a note seeking a comment was delivered Thursday.
Yup, next we're gonna see Trent Reznor becoming a Witless; the Nine Inch Nails will redo some of his classic songs; 'Closer' will be re-written to advocate a close realtionship with your heavenly father (actually not that silly an idea as there is a lyric "you get me closer to god", although what "I want to ?uck you like an animal" would need changing, as probably would "I drink the honey inside your hive").
'Head like a hole' would require more re-writing though, as would 'Terrible Lie'

After that Marylin Manson could allow 'The Beautiful People' to be used in the JW TV commercial...
Prince has simply fallen for the JW spiel at the point of weakness that many people fall for a cult; the death of a child. Poor sap...
Abaddon said what I was about to say.
Prince and his first wife had a tragedy involving the death of their child. That shook him up. So when zealous JW-elder Larry Graham came to Minnesota to talk "everlasting life" to Prince R. Nelson, he was ready to listen.
This stuff about Bono being interested in the JW's blows me away. I know he's into all sorts of social causes to help make this world a better place. Becoming a JW would completely reverse that trend. And that would be too bad.
Yeah I can imagine prince or symbol or whatever, knocking on the door doing the splits on the welcome mate in his tight leather pants singing 1999. It goes something like this
Forgive me if it goes astray
Coulda sworn it was judgment day
There were people runnin' everywhere
U know I didn't even care
Oops out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999<------------------Do you think he'll change that to 1914, or 1975, or..........
Wouldn't that be freakiest preaching experience told at an assembly?!?!?!.....do you think they'll let him wear his tight leather chaps with holes cut out of his ass on the platform?
And if he did come by my house, I sing 1999 back at him, it goes something like this:
If U didn't come 2 party
Don't bother knockin' on my door
I got a lion in my pocket
And baby he's ready 2 roar
We could all die any day
But before I'll let that happen
I'll dance my life away
Don'tcha wanna go (1999)
Don'tcha wanna go (1999)
We could all die any day (1999)
I don't wanna die
I'd rather dance
......And dance I will my friends!!!!
For true fans, you seem to have forgotten he lost a baby a few years ago.

Peoople can be very vulnerable about that time.

Could the Osmonds be next?
If the music scene is anything to go by this could be the next fashion accessory. Religions go in and out of the scene.
A few years ago many Muso's were into the Kabbalah, I read an interview with Maddona and she had a very superficial understanding of the subject.
The Beatles were into Buddhism, Satanism was in vogue in some styles in the 70's, Paganism was in about 5 years ago.
Perhaps, Book Bag's and Nylon Suits will become the 'new look'.
Everyone will get on the band wagon, then 6 months later something else will come in and all the muso's who got around to being baptised will be DF, leading to mass CD burnings.
I have a small recording studio, perhaps I should make an album while its the 'in' thing?
Bono and his band were deeply religious before they hit it big time. So religious, in fact, that they almost broke up to become missionaries of sorts.
I have not heard the JW connection, but who knows what will happen these days. People have always known that prince is weird.
