Word of Mouth

[Welcome to Boy George's new blog series for PAPERMAG, inwhich he'll be writing about anything and everything from time to time. Here, he discusses his love for Prince and his new album 20Ten.]

Prince's new album 20Ten is gorgeous and wonderfully Prince. I have no clue how you get hold of it because it was released in the UK via a newspaper. Apparently Prince believes the Internet is just a "fad," but if you can put that madness aside, 20Ten (album cover pictured below) will remind you that he's a genius. Songs like "Everybody Loves Me," "Act Of God" and "Future Soul Song" will transport you back to the '80s. Prince is referencing himself at his most potent and you won't be disappointed kids!

I love Prince even if he is a Jehovah's Witness and possibly has some weird ideas about us gays.I looked up "Jehovah and gays" and it seems they are fine with homosexuality as long as we don't practice it and basically live a life of absolute denial. And yet on Prince's album he raves about the importance of having fun and sings about freedom --  I guess his ideas of fun and freedom are conditional? Or maybe not: Prince has never mentioned the gays, as far as I know, so it's impossible to know what he thinks. But I still love this album and Prince and if he does indeed agree with his religion's beliefs about homosexuality, then I forgive him. If I were a Christian that would be very Christian of me!
