Funkenberry on TMZ story: No More Candy 4 U!

http://www.drfunkenberry....candy-4-u/

Hey Daniel, Don’t you know what Prince is really about? Come on, did you really think he was going to give you his precious guitar? HA HA!!! If he hands you his guitar, and you are a true fan you, you better lick it, kiss it, hug it, honor that few seconds cause you had the privilege to hold that sh**!!! Handing the guitar to the audience has been somewhat of a routine for him as of late. He don’t owe you a damn thing.

NO MORE CANDY 4 U!!

Here is what ‘Daniel’, at TMZ.com reported on last night’s show:

I was lucky enough to sit front row during a taping of “The Tonight Show.” I was there for one reason, and one reason only — to see Prince. After suffering through Paul Giamatti and Emma Roberts, Prince came on and performed “Dreamer.”

As the song was winding down, Prince took off his guitar and walked out into the crowd — I had no idea what he was doing. He walked right up to me and just simply handed me his guitar and walked away. I stood there stunned for about 20 seconds while my friend Trent went nuts. We both kinda strummed the guitar before I turned around and held it up to the crowd triumphantly.

After another 30 seconds or so, someone came around and retrieved the guitar. Now, I was all excited about this whole thing — calling and texting everyone I can think of. But when I came to work today, everyone said the same thing — PRINCE OWES YOU A GUITAR. I believe Harvey’s quote was, “You’re a schmuck for giving it back.”

It's not Prince's fault the kid assumed that holding his guitar meant he was to keep it.

It reminds me of Purple rain, when Morris is showing off in the club for Appollonia and he tells the waittress to "keep the change" then he whispers to Jerome "hey, go get my change". trying to look like a big shot. biggrin

What else was he supposed to assume? I think it's just weird to hand over the guitar so that a fan gets to "touch" it... lol

Y'all mofos are crazy ass hell and you're liars!

Prince walked up to that guy and gave it to him! Had it been me, the ONLY way that other guy would have gotten Prince's guitar from me, that Prince himself just gave to me, would have been to pry it from my cold dead hands! lol

What the hell is an Indian Giver? We don't have that phrase in the UK. I'm guessing it's derogatory but it makes no sense to me.

Also, in fairness to the guy, Prince doesn't ever give his guitar to the audience - he throws it to the guiar tech to catch mostly. It made for a cool moment.

The dude was at the Leno taping that night and the other two. He's also stated he's attending all 3 LA shows on Saturday - I'd say he has a better grip of "the drill" (wtf is that nonsense?) than perhaps you. He's a fan of the man, evidently.

He's posted a thread about it in the concerts section - check it out before you dog him.

[Look, the term "Indian Giver" is derogatory to Native Americans, including me and some other orgers I know of. Let's point out that the term is being used by a couple of sites that specialize in tastelessness and not by orgers on their own. I'm going to delete it from the thread title. -Mars23]
Studies have shown the ass crack of the average Prince fan to be abnormally large. This explains the ease and frequency of their panties bunching up in it.

lol I don't think he meant that he was on that level of "stalkerism", just that Daniel is a "hardcore" Prince fan.

Spewing meaness? A quick look at my past posts will show that isn't the case, but whatever floats your boat.

I read well enough to see you say Prince owed him nothing, he wasn't a true fan, didn't know "the drill", and call him a stalker all in one 1 page thread.

And lastly, nothing is up with me - all is good, thanks for asking.

I was wondering what took you so long to appear on this issue Meow. I agree with you.

Some of us mentioned that to him on the thread below, and advised him to take that insult out of his headline.

It was pretty assinine for him to use the term in the first place.

Hey Daniel, Don’t you know what Prince is really about? Come on, did you really think he was going to give you his precious guitar? HA HA!!! If he hands you his guitar, and you are a true fan you, you better lick it


I'm glad I'm not the only one who would. I was sitting at in my living room yelling, "Lick it! Lick it, you fool!" redface

You need to stop taking things so seriously. First in my post on Daniel's thread I stated "that I thought it was cool for Prince to do this and that the expression on Daniel's face was priceless." So just because I may a few observations I'm wrong. Hell some of you on here have really made this thread into some kind of race situation and I'm sure the original post was not meant to be that way.Why can't we just come here to show our love and support for Prince without always having to argue with posters that really don't mean shit in our everyday lives.
