I don't see how promoting his music through Verizon means that music isn't the most important thing to him. "Half of what I say is meaningless; but I say it so that the other half may reach you." - Kahlil Gibran | |

he's already paid so at your job, after you got your check the first week, you went to your boss the second week and said "Thanks, but I already go paid! No need to do it again."  "Half of what I say is meaningless; but I say it so that the other half may reach you." - Kahlil Gibran | |

Sounds sooooo prim and proper. . . how 'bout pump yo mofo brakes. . LOL! | |

Don't be silly. Prince has not sold out. He's expanding his music genre. And to suggest Prince will do Viagra is stupid and bogus. Furthermore, you comparing today's society of musicians with Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis. Absurd! Think before you type. Has ever occured to you that Jimi and Miles never did commercials because they wasn't offered any. You got to remember, today is 2007. Times are different. It would've been unheard of that a white owned company in the 60's would look for a black musician to sponsor them. Nat King Cole was the very few blacks at the time to do commercials. Little Richard or Chuck Berry never gotten that chance and neither Jimi and Miles. But if they were around today I think they would do the same thing. It comes down to one thing. MONEY! Anywhere you can make it you will take it. Besides, there wasn't any cell phones in the 60's dufus. I'm out! Hollar! Peace and be wild! | |

dumbass said: and Prince would gladly trade 1 of you for 5 new listeners for every new album. see how that works? being a fan of his music is a choice YOU have made t satisfy your own wants or needs. it is absolutely ridiculous to think Prince somehow is beholden to you for that. if you don't like the fact that Prince doesn't hold you, an absolute stranger, in higher regards than Verizon customer 1225674, another absolute stranger, then go to the local coffee shop and befriend the guy who is performing for free. I am sure he will be more than pleased to have a fan and will be far more appreciative.
you guys really do live in some strange fantasy land if you think being a Prince fan entitles you to something it doesn't or has somehow created a bond with Prince that he owes you for. you are nothing to him. face that fact. First of all, learn to read and comprehend before addressing my posts. I didn't say or insinuate Prince owed me anything, dumbass! SexyBeautifulOne said: EXCUSE ME? We were the ones that supported him when the mainstream audience was busy making jokes about his ass! If it weren't for US supporting him when all others wouldn't, he wouldn't be here now!
I don't give a damn how much his ass is being kissed NOW, he KNOWS that it was US that stuck by him through the good, the bad and the Prince what the fuck are you doing? That kind of loyalty isn't forgettable! He may be doing what he has to to appeal to the mainstream now but he knows for a motherfucking fact WHO really loves him and he will NEVER forget about US cuz I'll be around to remind his ass, believe that!!
