we all love Musicology but what has Prince been getting himself into?
From WIRED:
A recent New Yorker article paints a short, complicated picture of the artist currently known as Prince in which the star — a noted practitioner of the Jehovah’s Witness religion — responds to questions about social issues.
A PerezHilton source says the New Yorker misquoted Prince regarding gay marriage and other issues. The New Yorker maintains that its story is accurate.
At the other end of the literary spectrum is PerezHilton. The publication claims an outraged source within Prince’s camp accuses the New Yorker of misquoting Prince. The source also apparently claims that the New Yorker’s reporter, Claire Hoffman, did not record the interview, which could make it hard to unravel what really happened.
“Contrary to what a recent interview with the New Yorker is reporting, a source close to the rocker tells us that Prince was grossly misquoted and misinterpreted as not down with gay rightsm,” reads a post on the site. “Apparently, the interviewer did not even use a recorder… What His Purpleness actually did was gesture to the Bible and said he follows what it teaches, referring mainly to the parts about loving everyone and refraining from judgment. ‘We’re very angry he was misquoted,’ says our Prince insider.“
However, the New Yorker stands by its story, as a spokeswoman confirmed to Wired.com on Tuesday morning. It sounds like this Prince insider may have been doing some damage control for his client, whose views may come as a surprise to some of his fans.
