Quotes

1. Prince on Sex, Violence, & The Influence of Music | MTV News
   • Sensed negativity and entropy in music
   • disintegration that we have to address
   • Value lessened to a great degree
   • Address as a community as to what it is doing to the culture
   • People can say what they want, but no need for these kids to listen to music and then go shoot somebody
   • It is obvious when you hears words to music or lyrics whether it encourages or discourages
   • Is it a specific music solo? No, just the truth.  You are either here to enlighten or discourage
   • Plain disintegration, where you are not even speaking the truth anymore, and violent imagery that permeates society and our music
