I respect Prince’s desire to have a connection with a Higher Power. And even though I don’t agreed with most of what the Jay Dubs have to say, I respect his right to choose the Jay Dubs as the link to his Higher Power.

What I don’t respect is the way he seems to be using this connection of obfuscate his past. It feels like he made this choice so as to run away from his past. That really rubs me the wrong way.

I don’t respect how moronic and self-satisfied he sounds.

I don’t respect the fact that he seems to show such disregard for the people that helped him attain his current level of fame.
[Because let's be honest, there's no way that without the support (and buying power) of the gay community a 5 foot 2, purple loving and wearing, Paisley Park having black dude wearing more makeup and hair product that Little Richard ever dreamed of and named Prince would be living half as regally as he's living.]

poor prince. he just doesn’t know how to reconcile his funkitude with the divine.
