Hehehe. Yer bad at quoting multiples.

I saw Prince live first time in 86 and last time was in London. To me, the London concerts, even the aftershows, were a desillusion; to see the man that I loved for creating cutting edge new music slide down to a mere greatest hits, money grabbing act that also choses Crazy and Play That Funky Music White Boy over anything in his own back catalogue was very painful to watch.

My favourite Prince song? Probably Girl. Cuz I played it so many times.

I loved how back in the day he would spread his talents over related acts, like The Time etc. Now all we get is a Japanese version of Tamar, half-hearted releases that could have been so much more. I actually like one third of that album.

I got into Prince through Purple Rain, like many Europeans, but the lead off single for that album When Doves Cry grounded it for me. It mixed musical styles like no other artist had before, except maybe Elvis Presley or The Beatles.
I did not know that at age 13, though; I got hooked because of the fact it sounded so unlike anything I had heard before.

You mean realistic, don't you?

Whenever I say something that's vaguely showing some individuality on the sycophant's threads, they go bezerk.


Ain't it the truth? Dare to speak Prince's name in a less than favorable and suddenly you're the Antichrist (or in my case, mark chapman) Like I said...Stockholm Syndrome... disbelief

And dumping on me helps them to avoid having to own up to their Prince stannery. I mean its just SO obvious. I feel sympathy for them though because I was once like that, until I finally woke up.

lol Nothing like watching sycophants fight it out amongest themselves--each claiming they "aren't" but the others "are" while really each of them are. (Did that make sense or am I beginning to sound like one myself? But I *can't* be one--because I have an PFU avatar! I must be a hater! yay! lol)

NO. P hasn't given everything that he intends to give (music wise) and he knows it. It's just his way of making you wait. He's too talented.

JimRockford said:

I read some of these posts around here and I just have to ask this question.

Because some of you are flat-out sycophants.

You praise every single thing Prince does. It's like you have no existence without Prince. And the funny thing is Prince probably has the least respect for your kind. Anyone with a glimmer of intellect respects others for their intelligence & self-generated opinion.

You are the kind that gets pissed off when someone says something the least bit negative about the man.

And he is JUST a MAN. As talented as he is, he is ONLY a man.

And men have had opposing views since the dawn of time.

So, is worshiping him worth it?

Do you feel fulfilled?

I wasn't taking everything back - the 'mindless fanatics/dribbly worshiping wombles' was/is all true - i just got my wires crossed and i made a dipshit mistake of lumping Jezebel in that category - which clearly was a major mistake - my bad. I was guilty of friendly fire, and for that i apologize.

But my original post in praise of this thread topic i stand behind 100%. The simplistic, paisley sunglass wearing fanatic sycophants who believe he is an immortal who can do no wrong, and who attack anyone 'disloyal' enough to occasionally point out when the king wears no clothes, they are clearly deluded. Maybe not complete vegetables, more like high functioning retards - but fucktards non the less...

wink Now pass me some of that popcorn

You are the kind that gets pissed off when someone says something the least bit negative about the man. "Nope" no has the right to judge, I value every man opinion!

And he is JUST a MAN. As talented as he is, he is ONLY a man. "Yes agreed" I think he might even feel that way!

And men have had opposing views since the dawn of time. "That's a given"

So, is worshiping him worth it? "Define worship, respecting the man talents, so mote it be worshiping him, if so!

Do you feel fulfilled?
"To be a part of recognizing a gift of talent, yes very fulfilled in that manner!

That's uncalled for yet disturbingly accurate.

So come on mods why don't you ban these threads? They serve no real purpose and on many other sites would have resulted in a warning if repeated. Freedom of speech it may be but responsibility of speech it is not. You only ever let yourselves down and it smacks of some kind of negligence, indiference, incompetence, misunderstanding or other weakness regarding the role.

Please don't ban me but a considered reply would be nice. If only so we aware why these threads are allowed to occur.

Also why no response to the request to have the Music and More section separated so as to place fan-art/pictures into their own area? It really needs it.

May threads on this site in general dont serve any real puropse to be quite frank shrug And this iste is not "other' sites incase u have'nt noticed, therefore Im guessing that no one cares what goes on in 'other' sites lol

And why are u worried about being banned for saying any of this? confuse

As for the mods, they do their job, they have read this thread, and if u have issues with it, might I suggest u report it.....

Just a thought biggrin
