My Prince pillowcases sure do make nice punching bags. Thanks, Prince, at least you did that right.

And let's not forget MJ's son, Prince. I wonder if Prince sent MJ a "cease and desist" letter for it? Knowing him, he probably did. Prince has truly lost his ever-lovin mind. He needs to be bitch-slapped, and HARD!!

I know my days are... he'll never get another dime of my hard earned money.

That thought had crossed my mind. I think he's just always been an insecure little man who can't take the heat, so he tries to control everything. Pathetic, really.

That's really the fucked up part about all of this! How many of us were until recently just like DarrenJ?

Ready and willing to defend Prince to the very end? No matter how fucked up we knew him to be? It literally took him (or someone in his employ making it look like him) turning on us to open our eyes!

Looking to purchase cheap Prince merchandise.

Please don't throw your Prince stuff in the wheelie bin.

Especially pillow cases and symbol tambourine !!!!!

Thanks

I COULD NEVER TAKE THE MAZE OF YOUR PLAN.

I agree with you.. I remember being pissed after listening to PE after spending $13. What a rip that was
This just reinforced that he does not give a shit about his fans.

PILLOW CASES?!

Fer real, he sold pillow cases?

Seriously, though. . .?

?

I sure would like to see an interview/press conference by Prince, so he can explain all of this to us, and why he is doing it. Prince, you just stepped in a big, steaming pile of purple dog turds with this one. Way to go; nice way to alienate your fans!

Yes. he sold them at the London shows; I have two of them. At first I was happy to get them, now I just use them as punching bags.

I was thinking that when all of this first came to light. I mean we JUST had that discussion going on in that other thread, where i defended my right to criticize Prince, because i've been a fan (for the most part) for my whole life. I've watched him progressively get dickier and dickier over the years, and the music has gotten (in my mind) crappier and crappier. And then you hear the stories in his dealings with people, like the CLASSIC Kevin Smith story and I start to realize that Prince hasn't been a normal human being in DECADES.

I've always had that theory. That when certain people attain a certain amount of wealth/fame, that they mutate. Not literally, but in a sense where they no longer have to worry about things that normal human beings worry about.

"Do i have gas money?"
"Do i need to get groceries?"
"I'd like to go on a trip, but i'll have to save up first".

People like Prince and MJ have been disconnected from being REAL people for so long, they don't remember what it's like to be a real person anymore.

So then it becomes "wow, i don't like my nose today. guess i'll get it changed for the SIXTH time.

Or (and i'm borrowing from KS), "it's 3am in Minneapolis and i want a camel."

Prince takes it a bit further though. He's always been a bully and tried to control every aspect of his career and of the people in his life. And now he's gotten disconnected enough to where he thinks he's justified in doing it to his fans.

I say we stand up, and resist!!!

roflmoa @ "dickier and dickier". !!!!

Looking at your sig just now...

I think I'll start following Paul McCartney's music more closely. At least he appreciates his fans.

I have not bought Planet Earth
I will not buy Planet Earth
I will not buy any more music
I will not go to any more shows
I will not purchase any Prince merchandise
There are just too many other great musicians and performers to listen to and love that won't give me grief about enjoying them as a whole.
I have been a diehard fan for 24 years, and I am one of those people that have kept Prince from pushing a broom for a living. Prince should appreciate the fact the I have an open mind, an open heart, and mostly an open wallet when it comes to the purchasing of his music. I have purchased music I didn't previously listen to or even liked, but I STILL supported Prince, simply because I was a FAN.



For those of you that look down on his angry fans....remember it is all of us that believed in Prince, so much so, that we purchased whatever his name was attached to....this would include associated artists. He has become wealthy because of us, he has the life he lives because of us.

I am sooo excited.

I felt the org has been bending over and getting royally owned for some time.

It was sickening.

Now I have much respect. Much respect.


I just read this on eurweb.com and had to rush over here. I was like, they are lying, there's no way org is a part of this. The org is not rebellious. So glad I was wrong.

GO REBELS!

Prince is getting so much bad publicity right now ... it's really going to hurt his chances with future fans. I mean, we'll always be here (which is why he treats us like shit, like an abusive husband)...but the mainstream public is going to jet -- even more so now.

Bad moves on Prince's part. I guess ultimate control and domination is more important to him than having a loving fanbase and market for his art.

EXACTLY, it's sad for him to say fuck you to those who supported him and stood by him in the very beginning before the world or anyone else knew who the hell he was. When everybody just thought he was some weird freak and didn't pay attention to his skill and genius... and now for him to do this to his Fans and Fam who where there when he said phuck the establishment and sold his shit himself. Who the fuck does he think went online and bought his shit when he was selling that crap out of his basement, walking around with “SLAVE” written across the side of his face before that… and hello, changed his name to a goddamn symbol… You know what I'm done, the more I think about this shit the more it pisses me off... fuck him, I’m done.

Im so glad that Im not the only one thinking Chuck Huntsberry was right when he called pRince a stupid little prick I was fucking livid last night when I first heard the news , now Ive slept on it had my sissy fit and thrown my toys out of the pram , well he still is a silly little prick but at least the rest of the world is thinking the same thing

Of course all this controversy is going to make him dig his little heels in even more , batton down the hatches Price and stop shitting on your own doorstep , you are making such a tit of yourself

Anyway I loves you orgers

I can´t read all this thread!
its too long!

Paul McCartney seems pretty cool and down to earth, unlike that OTHER guy. But then again, I've always loved The Beatles' music, so I could be a bit biased.
