Lost in bizarro world: Prince makes anti-gay remarks
How can this be? The artist formerly declared as Prince now known as Prince makes controversial remarks.
Asked about his perspective on social issues—gay marriage, abortion—Prince tapped his Bible and said, “God came to earth and saw people sticking it wherever and doing it with whatever, and he just cleared it all out. He was, like, ‘Enough.’ ”Why the change of heart? Hollywood asks:
Hold on. The miniature singer who used to perform in bikini briefs, leg warmers and platform boots said what?
This is the effeminate musician who played the androgyny card big time with his wild, sexy costumes and provocative lyrics to create album-selling controversy?
The guy whose music was so darn dirty that it inspired Tipper Gore to slap parental advisory stickers on music deemed not suitable for minors?
He’s now against gays having equal rights?
Wow. Talk about alienating your base.
What do you think? Is Prince, now a converted Jehovah’s Witness, totally off base? Will you continue to buy and listen to his music? Or do you agree with him?If the music is good then don't worry about the politics. Why is it that patrons of the arts have to take an artist's politics so seriously?

Hollywood doesn't get it as fools rush for an antiwar narrative
It's clear Hollywood fools are rushing to make the definitive anti-Iraq-war movie but the public isn't buying. The script is is very tired. The truth is we don't know the outcome of the war and we won't for some time.
