Can anyone read between the lines here?
While Prince stresses he holds no bitterness, he clearly does not hold the music industry with much regard. He likens it to "The Matrix," and in going independent, he decided to take the little red pill.
In February, he kicked off the Grammys ( news - web sites) with a performance with Beyonce; he also made an appearance on Ellen DeGeneres ( news )' talk show.
He is surprisingly unrepentant, however, about his dirty past: "I didn't have any regrets about that ? I was a young man."
I'll give you my thoughts.... The Matrix?? Doesn't he know that watching rated 'R' movies is wrong? Ok ok, he may have watched it prior to becoming a witness, but I wonder if he has seen the last two films? ... Voluntarily appearing on a known lesbian's show? How many witnesses do you know would do such a thing? ... Unrepentant about his past?!? How on earth did he even get baptized? Did he lie to the elders about being repentant? Sounds like it to me.
The Society better keep a tight leash on their boy here. Some witnesses might think that if Prince can do it, it must be OK for them to do it too.
