an artist like prince
I tend to get curious about the singers I listen to when it comes to the meaning behind their songs and what their personal life was like however I choose to place that boundary and not overstep my knowledge of that person's life bc it straight up feels like an invasion of privacy so I don't believe anything unless they themselves have said smth in an interview, I think it helps form a respect for that artist rather than smth parasocial which is what I see a lot of people have nowadays. I really wanted to discuss this with others but I admire prince in the way that he kept his life private. It seems like he always thought ahead, it's a reason why I don't think there will be a biopic on him, I feel like he made an autobiography (kinda) of his life already so that his story wouldn't be manipulated after his death. he knew how much to say for his own defense but didn't make himself a target. It kind of helped him balance fame and privacy although we learn that he was quite alone a lot. I think the boundaries he had limited his access to the world but I think it very much prevented the quantity of scrutiny he could have faced as a result of trying to be more involved. That sort of professionality I genuinely look up to. what do u guys think
