The Convergence of the Sexual and Spiritual in the Artistry of Prince
At the core of most religions, especially the three Abrahamic faiths (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam), is the fundamental belief that the body and soul are at constant battle. The antagonistic relationship between the flesh of the believer and the spirit of the believer is what has often times shaped ideas about right and wrong, moral and immoral, and sinful and sacred for individuals, groups, and governments. The religious fixation over the insidious nature of fleshly desires becomes particularly interesting when an individual can become the embodiment of both the sexual and spiritual nature of man without engaging the moral dilemma that such a pairing warrants. This paper focuses on Prince as a sex god and as a man of God by examining the music and iconography of one of the most celebrated musicians in recent history
