The composer of such wonderful ditties like, "Let's pretend we're married and f*** all night," has sworn off cursing and is preaching about the importance of virtue in the May edition of Gotham magazine.
When I read this story my first reaction was: No S***?
Prince, who is now a Jehovah's Witness, said that "when you use those (curse) words, you call up all the anger, all the negatives times the word has been used before -- you bring it toward yourself. Why would you want that?"
Prince a Jehovah's Witness? The apocalypse must be right around the corner, (expletive deleted) I'd better party like it's 1999 all over again.
Prince also told the magazine that teens need more God in their lives.
"When I look at the violence, I wonder where the parents are, but also where is God in their lives? A kid is an open computer ready for programming. Some weird relationships happen, smoking too early and sex.''
Jehovah's Witnesses are an apocalyptic group that interprets the Bible differently than traditional Christian organizations. Still don't have a clue who they are? OK, they are the God-fearing folks that knock on your door at the most inopportune times.
