Philosophising Prince and Eggs

"Call My Name" was debuted live on a radio station (I can't remember which one). But in the morning show that was debuting the album Musicology, Prince actually phoned in for a live interview.

In the interview the radio DJ's asked him what he had for breakfast. Prince answered "eggs".

Now there are three postulations that could be possibly derived from his answer. First, Prince is not truly a vegan as he claimed in the Rave Un2 the Joy Fanastic era, or that he's swapped his diet from a vegan diet to a vegetarian diet. One could speculate that he did this once Mayte left the marriage cause he no longer needed the supple, velvety skin of a vegan to impress Mayte. Moreover, Mannuella, being as homely as she was would accept Prince just the way he was, with rough, dry, non-vegan skin covered in a layer of expensive MAC makeup. But I seriously doubt, Prince swapped his allegiance to veganism if he was indeed a vegan to begin with. Prince has proven that once he's committed to something, (like God), it's a theme he carries with him throughout his life--sort of like hair relaxers, bad wigs, and perms (these things will always be associated with Prince).

The second is that he altogether lied about being a vegan. There are many reasons why one could speculate on this, from him wanting to seem more earnest about animal rights than he really was, possibly so he could win a PETA award since we all know Rave wasn't going to win him any other awards. But I don't think this theory is true either. If Prince wanted to win an award, he could easily write an award winning album--yes, he's still got the touch whether you folks believe it or not.


Which brings us to the final scenario: He just flat out lied about having eaten eggs that morning. I think this is the most likely scenario cause Prince has a tendency to dodge questions--even very non-intrusive, simple, questions. If an interviewer asks Prince, "what inspired you to write 3 Chains of Gold", Prince would simply lie and say, "God did", when in reality he was probably masturbating to pictures of Freddy Mercury while listening to Queen's Bohemian Rapsidy. Of course, I'm not even going to touch on the possibility that he's been lying about his sexuality either as that's a topic for it's own series of threads or a new forum. But the simple matter is that it doesn't matter what the question is, if the question is of a personal nature, even on a very innocent, non-intrusive level, Prince will go in to politician mode and answer the question he wished you asked him instead of what you actually asked him, or he'll just resort to a quick, convenient lie.


And why wouldn't Prince lie? We all lie? We learn to lie at the age of 3 according to the latest science reports--it's all part of self-actualization.

Prince even mentions, in his song Do U Lie that he himself lies. "Do you lie? I lie" he says in a manner one could imagine Richard Simmons using when flirting with David Letterman.


So no.. Prince does not eat eggs! He simply doesn't.


Prince. does. not. eat. eggs.

maybe prince was using "eggs" as a symbol, a kind of metaphor for his creative process. he probably cannot decide which came first, the egg or its predecessor the chicken and, being a thoughtful kind of man, he might prefer not to disrupt a creative cycle he doesn't fully understand.

the way i see it is, if prince eats an egg, won't that mean one less funky chicken???? it could, and that is, imho, the reason why prince might or might not eat eggs.

He could have been the recipient of a tea-bagging earlier that morning - testicles are ovoid, so it'd be half-right.

"Scrambled eggs r so boring, but u're all, all that I wanna know..."

"Where you wanna eat 2nite baby?
I know this dope spot called one another
Or maybe we might swing by the Egg"

What has a little tiny penis, wears purple, eats eggs, and hangs upside down?

Let me just say I've never met a vegan with supple anything. And P may be back to eggs and dairy, for that matter. In another article a reporter describes him backstage eating pasta w/ cream sauce so the jig is up!

face it Imago...U are a mean jealous fag.

did he specify what kind of eggs? he could mean chocolate eggs, like Cadbury makes.

Yes it is...If U haven't noticed there are quite a few people here that think a lot of your statements are tacky...and prefer U didn't say them about a man we adore.

this actually prompted me to go and find the lyrics to the song Life Can Be So Nice, and in particular the reference "scrambled eggs are so boring". What, praytell, could he be referring to? While there are obvious phallic overtones to the song (picture him waking up next to the woman he loves and lusts for). The "morning glories" and "my love for you, baby, drips" lines are pretty obvious in this context. Follow that up with what, er, who these scrambled eggs could be a reference to - the type of women he likes (egg, chicken, chickenhead). I dunno, just thinkin' out loud here...
