Anyone else think Prince’s sillouette with his guitar was, shall we say, optomistically manly? 😛 Go Prince and the Colts! ---

All I have to say is that I would never have believed 20 years ago that sweet little Janet Jackson would be in trouble for flashing a tit at the Super Bowl, and that raunchy old Prince of assless chaps fame would be considered a safe act! ---

[QUOTE=Jammer] I thought Prince rocked it pretty well tonight. Nice show. [/QUOTE] Agreed. You know it’s good when you’re sorry it ended. He left me wanting more. And man! I didn’t even notice the schlong silouhette! I assume that stunt was on purpose? ---

I have loved Prince like he was a member of my family for 20 years now. The show was awesome- I had waves of chills from the second it started until the end. He never changes, either- his body is still as tight as ever, and his face has no wrinkles! He so totally rocks! ---

[/QUOTE] I hope it was on purpose! I used to love Prince for his absolute sexy raunchiness. Watching the show made me decide to buy an iPod! Suddenly I needed his music at my beck and call. I forgot how much I liked Prince, back in the day! ---

Yeah, I don’t see any reason for him to do the silhouette thing, except for that. I think it was a “Screw you” to the FCC. Awesome! ---

Prince is awesome. I love how he can play, like, 27 instruments. His _Rainbow Children_ stunts were offputting and he ruined Kevin Smith’s Father’s Day that one time, but as a musician, he is unequalled. Rock on, Purple One! ---

First off, I thought he was fantastic- man alive, I wish they had cancelled the rest of the game and just kept him playing. Second, I’m glad someone else said it because I thought I was just a dirty mind. ---

I was at a party of dozens of people. When the guitar silhouette came on…the ENTIRE party erupted (so to speak). It was totally on purpose and totally what it looked like. Freakin’ awesome 🙂 ---

[QUOTE=Lizard] Agreed. You know it’s good when you’re sorry it ended. He left me wanting more. [/QUOTE] Oh, yes. That’s the measure. The set seemed so short. As a musician/performer Prince still brings superior quality. And as for the guitarschlong thing, c’mon, what rock axeman doesn’t wield it as a symbolic representation of his, um, vital power? Of course, in the case of Prince, he’s got a roomful of those who’d give witness to _that_… 😃 ---

I think the ghost of Dr. Seuss came back from the grave feeling randy, and decided to design a guitar. ---
