Ideas and Concepts:
On the sexuality of Prince, via tonight's History of Rock and Roll class: "Throughout his career, Prince developed an image as both a heterosexually provocative yet also somewhat androgynous figure. At times he reminded one to a certain extent of David Bowie during the Ziggy Stardust period, but you could never be sure if Prince was dressing to approach more his feminine side, or whether he was just a dandy or a pretty boy. It's not as if he was asexual or not interested in sexual attraction, there was always something sexually charged about him, yet he often seemed to be both playing on the edges of gender identify, yet at the same time delivering a markedly heterosexual message."
Coming of age with Janet Jackson via tonight's History of Rock and Roll class:
"Janet Jackson was the youngest sister of the Jackson family. She was originally a child actress on shows such as Good Times, Different Strokes, and Fame, and when she began to sing professionally as a young teenager, her first albums being in that mold of child star, e.g. 1982 Janet Jackson, and 1984 Dream Street, an innocent, squeaky clean teen idol genre that was referred to as "bubble gum soul". The choice of songs, outfit and production of her albums was highly controlled by her family, especially her father.
By 1985 at the age of 19, however, she had had enough of this. She made a complete break with her family, sought new management with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis who had worked with Prince, and set her energies on the goal of showing that she was completely different now by bringing out the 1986 album Control. The title song Control begins with a kind of spoken Declaration of Independence, and with the song Nasty, she made a complete break with her teen innocence with regard to sexuality, following, one could say in the footsteps of Madonna to show how a woman can take control of her career and her sexual expression, showing she had something to prove, and she was proving it through her music and dance."
