Dearly beloved, we are gathered today to get through this thing called life.. and to remember Prince. I still feel a pain on my chest thinking about him being gone, seriously.
So I& #39;m going to link to my favorite Prince songs today.. And maybe a little commentary here and there about Prince and religion. Let& #39;s start here w early Prince....a personal all time favorite of mine from his first album. https://youtu.be/Aq7ddhSGOSE ">https://youtu.be/Aq7ddhSGO...
Next up from Prince& #39;s second album before he went mainstream, I wanna be your Lover, which was the first Prince video, showing him playing all the instruments. #1979 https://youtu.be/Rp8WL621uGM ">https://youtu.be/Rp8WL621u...
I& #39;m skipping Controversy for now, but I want to share my favorite song off the Purple Rain Album, and it& #39;s not one that you hear a lot, but I think it& #39;s romantic Prince at his best. #PrinceDay "The Beautiful Ones" https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x46nqtz ">https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x46...
Ok, so before the Prince @CBS tribute comes on, let& #39;s do a little history. Did you know that #Prince 
https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> was in part responsible for the parental advisory on records? The song was on the Purple Rain Album, Darling Nikki. In case you forgot, here it is... https://youtu.be/GA_FqxZLSMk ">https://youtu.be/GA_FqxZLS...
So anyway, Tipper Gore heard the words to Darlin Nikki that her daughter was playing and freaked out. Kinda like my mother did when my sister and I had a half naked #Prince https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> hanging up in our rooms, https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤣" title="Rolling on the floor laughing" aria-label="Emoji: Rolling on the floor laughing">
Tipper Gore and three other women formed the Parents Resource Music Center and started advocating that retailers put warning labels on offensive records.They even had a list of Records that they called the Filthy Fifteen. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/pmrcs-filthy-15-where-are-they-now-60601/prince-darling-nikki-181198/">https://www.rollingstone.com/music/mus...
I mean, she should have listened to Head. That would have really freaked her out. But I digress. Here& #39;s a clip of Tipper from 1986 on Prince and other lyrics.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNT4DikDdQw">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) decided to start putting ratings on records. They thought that would help. That just let us know what to buy!
Anyway, I& #39;m pretty sure Tipper would have hated P Control... but my favorite X rated one is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfHsF6FKgb4">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

The rumor I want to know about #Prince https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> is this, did he really read the bible in bed to women he slept with? That was the word back in the day. Anyone know?
When #Prince https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> became a Jehovah& #39;s witness , a lot of his sexuality was restrained, but BEFORE then, Prince actually had a bed in his stage. show back in the early 80s when he sang "Do me Baby" this performance doesn& #39;t have it, but here you go... https://youtu.be/eu9qkMPr10I ">https://youtu.be/eu9qkMPr1...
I have always been interested in the intersection of Religion and sexuality for #Prince https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> and wish I knew more, but .. I& #39;ll just leave you with SSHH https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9lqXv9AC_E&feature=youtu.be">https://www.youtube.com/watch... https://www.youtube.com/watch...
Finally, before I finish next hour with the two transcendent performances of Prince, I& #39;ll leave you with something I wrote when he passed. https://religiondispatches.org/how-prince-set-fire-to-my-catholic-girlhood/">https://religiondispatches.org/how-princ...
