All the haters in the world

Strange, but true: A so-called "online fan community" full of negativity and bad vibes that it's no fun anymore to log in. I remember days when this was my first place to get the latest news what's happening in Prince's world, but today this board is overloaded with scepticism and naysayers - all the haters in the world gathering in one spot and talking about...yesterday.

Yesterday... all the wonderful summers of hits like Let's Go Crazy, Raspberry Beret, Kiss and U Got The Look.

A few weeks ago Prince made a great new track called Cause And Effect and he was just saying it loud: "I am here - where are U?"

Oh yes: Where are U?

Be it! Taking a risk is always an adventure.

So you basically want an ass-kisser website, is that it? Anyone can start a site, so go for it.

Did you ever notice that prince.org is with a small p? Did you notice it says, "independent and unofficial"? It's that way for a reason.

Surely you've noticed that people are going to have opinions of their own, and just because they either don't agree with you, or might not brown nose Prince's dealings, doesn't mean they're naysayers. It means they have a brain in their head, and they won't agree w/ everything Prince does by default.

Prince has created the skepticism that his fans experience now. It's not just fans rearing up and saying "Hey, let's hate on Prince now. He's got enough love in the past." It's fans speaking up for what is wrong, and what's been not taken care of (and at this point, never will be).

So is the board overloaded w/ negative folks? No, but it's also not overloaded with yes-men. If Ben really wanted to clean up the alleged negativity, he could. But he's got a brain as well, and knows exactly what is going on.

hi. hello there. greetings from planet earth. here in the US of A we do not have access to prince's new album. he has chosen not to release this to us.

we cann't talk about today because, we are still listening to yesterday.

thank you*

*as to your other points, about the so-called 'haters', just get used to dealing, when other people don't see things the way you do. it is a part of growing up.

Well, not yet. Not in stores. But you have access to it right now. We all do. And a few of us have the physical CD.

Well, does it matter if we agree or not? These are his actions and decisions (how to publish an album, to launch or to close a website), and nobody's forced to subscribe to a page or to buy one of Prince's albums.

YES is a wonderful word, it sounds magical and powerful to me. NO is for cowards.

Be it! Taking a risk is always an adventure.

Well, you all got LOtUSFLOW3R last year, and thanks to some nice guys in your country I also got the chance to get a physical copy of this wonderful 3-disc-set.

I'm sure there's a release date for the US very soon.

Be it! Taking a risk is always an adventure.

YES is for those who don't want to hink. NO allows one to be even more motivated and inspired. Think about it - once you get that stormtrooper helmet off your noggin.

Oh goody! Our weekly thread whining about people who criticize Prince...falloff

And the trillionth use of the overused term "hater" to describe said criticism. rolleyes

Very original.

Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.

So I'm a stormtrooper if I say YES smile? And Prince is Darth Vader? Seems, that you must feel like Luke Skywalker, then. May the power be with you!

yes. we did. LAST YEAR.

i cannot tell you how fucking TEMPTING it is to click on one of the links that people have sent me.

i could download the new album for free.

instead, i have not yet heard it.

Well, then download it if you get the chance. It's a wonderful album, and perhaps you should listen to it without reading any reviews before. What's magical about music is the way it transfers to every single one of us, and every soul responds in a different way. That's what I like most about Prince and his art: Every new record, each song is stirring me up, and I've never heard anything as deep as his music.

and there is the rub, the stuff is available for some, but not all.

Nobody is forcing you to log onto prince.org either. Oh wait a minute, that's right...this place is one, of just under a handful of places left, on the entire internet where you can "get the latest news what's happening in Prince's world"

So I guess you are being forced but not by the Haters. Stop worrying yourself about the Haters and you might just notice that Prince says NO...ALOT!

I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart.
