(Yes, yes, I know, going for the "meow" factor.) In this instance I do hope she is right, however.<BR/><BR/>Deni and Swine, as JJ can attest, I have a pretty heavy anti-Western religion bias (something that <A HREF="http://www.salon.com/politics/war_room/2008/11/17/focus_christmas/index.html" REL="nofollow">garbage like this</A> does little to alleviate), but I've come to hate the dogma, primarily.<BR/><BR/>I can't hate on Prince for the pain he felt after losing his son, and I can't hate on him for searching for answers. And that's where I draw the line.

As with all artists, I will stay with him through "the good years" in my listening habits and memory, and render this "new" Prince and his Jaja views irrelevant.
