CNN has an article on Prince today about his tour, but don’t call it a “comeback”.
“I would ask people who want to call this a comeback, where [do] they think I’m coming back from?”
Good point, Prince.
From the sound of the article, I don’t think I’ll be hearing Dirty Mind at the concert. In a way, I prefer it that way. Prince today is at his very best, and I expect that he will just keep getting better. That old stuff, while funkiliciously delicious, is just, well, old stuff. The past.
… the Prince of today is a Jehovah’s Witness who refrains from cursing and won’t sing those racy songs now. He frequently uses Bible verses and parables in conversation as he bemoans the lack of morality in today’s culture.
“What we have today is the same situation right now that Noah faced,” he says. “Some rain is going to come, and it’s time to get on the ark. The best thing we can do is to keep our lives in order and our conduct clean.”
He is surprisingly unrepentant, however, about his dirty past: “I didn’t have any regrets about that — I was a young man.”
Prince may never replicate the record sales or airplay of his heyday, but it’s clear he doesn’t think those were ever his glory years — he’s living them now.
“There ain’t nothing that I feel in lack of,” he says. “It’s a wonderful day.” [CNN article]
