However, I am disturbed by the ambiguous Christian symbolism in Prince's albums. I guess he has to compete with Michael Jackson in the obscure religion area, but I would prefer to retain my image of him as a role model for decandence and hedonism, if not Minnesota urban nihilism. You didn't mention the "hahahaha" at the end of the Purple Rain secret message -- maybe it's all a joke. P.S. I'm sure everyone has noticed the "Love God" message in the "When Doves Cry" video.
