Are you a Prince singleton?

....What I mean is are you surrounded by like minded Prince fans or do you find it hard to fit in because of your compulsion to talk about Prince?

I don't know many people who like Prince as much as I do. Which is a problem for me.

No-one to go to gigs with, no-one to talk about whether I prefer Sign Of the Times or Purple Rain.

I have no-one to discuss whether his old stuff was better than his new stuff, etc, etc..

What are other peoples thought?



Answers purlease!

One of my good friends is a Prince freak like me, but only when it comes to Purple Rain. I mean, she knows the movie better than I do and thats saying something!

my hub is very cool with prince & has been a fan 4 ever..but he's quite content with the hits etc & he isn't bothered about the unreleased stuff, coming 2 the org & how gawjuz prince's butt is etc etc etc - unlike myself

fortunately i have girlfriends here on the org who can relate

Hell, I married a P fam. She's been in2 P since 1999 Era and we've been 2gether since 1999/2000. I did that on purpose of-course, I couldn't see myself marryin' some1 who didn't love P as much as I do.

Nobody knows I love Prince except people on the internet. I'm in the closet (Shh)

I was pretty much on my own with loving Prince all along...although my friends got used to me playing his music all of the time.

i dont know any other prince fans thats why i come here

There is that ever so scared look on most peoples face if you say "Prince" more than 3-5 times in aprox. 30 minutes. I'm not sure what it's all about.
I have to admit after the Musicology tour every time I was out with a friend and saw purple I'd point and say "Prince!". It was L.A. nothing fazes them. (well I never looked up ). I was just having fun and being silly and driving my friends crazy lol. I'm over that faze...for now lol.

Thanks for all your responses!

I personally really enjoy coming on the org ..but I would like a few 'real' people to talk to too!

Most of my friends don't 'get' the Prince thing and I sometimes feel quite lonely.

I sometimes think that I am weird and it's a bit like living in my own world.

I listen to Prince a lot and quite often watch DVD's but I worry that I should be moving in the 'real' world.

Friends tease me that Prince is so 80's and think that I am just being nostalgic and a little bit pathetic.

This really irritates me and I feel like screaming. Most people that I know think that Prince is pure bubblegum pop and nothing else. This really annoys me.

I went to a Radiohead gig recently and I felt that it was really fake, everyone 'pretending' to be deep and meaningful. That sucks!

It's so hard being the only purple high heeled boot in a closet full of white sketchers!
thank god 4 da Internet

There is no reason on earth you have to discuss Prince with those people or anyone for that matter, I refuse to hear anyone that's suppose to be my friend criticize what I like, so I don't say anything to anybody. I took my daughter to the Musicology concert and she slept thru the entire thing. Then people criticized me for making her go. She's 23. fuck em all.

Philosphophically and Heavenly speaking a Genuine Prince Fan is never a singleton regarding being a Prince Fan. i LOVE Prince

I'm a singleton .. and folks never understand me and they can't figure me out and I like it and want it that way..... which is why I come here .... folks here can relate.. .. Non-Prince fans will give me <-- this look if I attempt to explain 'LCD' or 'SuperFunkyCaliFragiSexy' ...

To all the people that can't deal with us being Prince fans,


Kiss

A certain someone I know thinks it's *hilarious* that I like to occasionally (read: about twice a year, if that ) meet up with a fellow fan and completely fam out over Prince. What can be better than watching old tv performances, listening to 'rare' tracks and talking stupid crap about Prince's hairstyles/clothes/embarrassing moments?? NOTHING.


I'm not sure I have a 'compulsion' to talk about him, though. That would be just too weird. Who the hell in their right mind wants to hear the ravings of a Prince fan in everyday life?

Hardly, I have friends who respect him but other than that, they don't really like prince.

So I sing "Little Red Corvette" in school alone and just hopes the teachers thinks I'm talking about Horses & Cars.

Everytime I mention his name all I get is

I don't know anybody out here in the real world who's really into Prince. Most, at best, just have a passing interest or only know Purple Rain.

And an ungodly number of people still think he uses the Symbol and say to me, "...don't you mean the Artist?" when I mention the fella's name.

It's not that The Joker's gay. What he is, is Batsexual. He'd be whacking it to Batsy whether our hero had girl parts or boy parts underneath that rubber.
