Again, if you are getting upset with me calling Prince "The Midget" a few times and co-sign all the other stuff that has been going on around here, then I think you may be a little too attached to Prince..Or you are being disingeuous..And I think you are reaching trying to make that connection that I'm no better than folks who have turned this place into a war zone.....


Either we get the folks that obsessively go on about how Prince aint doing it like he used to...Or we get the folks who get emotional over the smallest things when it comes to little man...

The moderate voice is dying on the Org...I think we need a Sally Struthers commercial.....

Yikes! words like "war zone" are a little too strong for a moderate voice on any fansite lol


Not at all....when you get folks whose every single post is about Prince being a creep and then other folks crying because someone shouted P out as a "Midget" then it's crazy town...


As for Chronic, that was indeed the reason...he said it himself...lol

But it's all good...you make some good points....And you don't have to run like hell...I'm not from crazy town....

Okay, before I can even get to Old Pro's post, I can't get past the insults you make to fans on both sides. That's where you are losing people. And I guess I don't agree that people who talk shit about Prince are obsessive.


That's not what I said.....

I said the obsessive behavior on both sides is getting wacky....There are some folks who tell the truth about Prince and criticize the man when warranted...The LotusFlower site fiasco is an example...But we all know there's a difference between criticizing an artist and then criticizing an artist in an obsessive manner....

And there's a difference between loving the music of an artist and going bonkers when someone who has been even handed on both sides criticizes or makes a joke about said artist....





But here's the thing though...What do we really know about Prince?....This is the thing that folks on both sides don't seem to get...we like his records...But we don't know him in real life...To me that means to never get too high or low about the man....



Vendetta1 said:

All in all, I don't believe there is a single truly rational fan. He makes hypocrites of us all. Some of the same obsessive fans are some of the same ones that talked shit about the guy when he started suing websites. We clap and sing along when he makes songs against fans. We put up with business practices we wouldn't put up with from any other company.



Nah...there's rationale fans...A rationale fan understands that you don't live or die with the guy...That you don't place a person you never met too high or too low...That Prince is the same dude he was in the '80s and that he hasn't really changed one bit...

If you (meaning the fans) tolerated his asshole behavior or complained about him not doing what you (the fans) want him to do when he was putting out those great records in the '80s, then why start 30 plus years into his career...

To me, it works both ways.....
I know enough about Prince to form an opinion about him though, Murph. Enough to know we wouldn't like each other. lol And in some things I am totally not rational. I've hopped on a plane to go see him perform with 2 hours notice before.

And we disagree on some stuff, too Murph. Prince of the 80s is definitely not Prince of now.

I do feel what you are saying better now, though. biggrin

So the same person who did what he wanted; didn't care what the fans thought about him; at times acted like a prick in his own camp...Is the same guy he is now...

The only difference?.....We all know that don't we....lol

The one thing that you learn about life when you get past a certain age (although some never realize this!) Is that the one constant in life, besides death, is CHANGE! Prince has changed, just I have changed, just as all of us have! To try and pigeon-hole someone musically, is to do it to someone in your personal life--it just doesn't fly! People change whether you want them to or not, whether you want to or not--that is the way it is! If you don't like his music anymore, than don't listen to it! Move on! As for me, I recently came back and like what I hear! cool

Yeah, I remember when that was posted on OKP.

It was a great post then, and it's a great post now.

I guess you can label me someone who's more forgiving of Prince's antics.

Mostly, because they don't seem that fucking serious when you get down do it.

I spent the entire summer in the hospital. The fuck do I care that Prince doesn't want his videos on Youtube?

I think people here get personally offended by the fact that Prince's music isn't as good as it used to be.

If Prince's albums are great from start to finish, fine. If not, at least I know that they'll be at least 1 or 2 jams that will be in rotation.

There people here who are too invested in Prince's personal and business life.

He doesn't know who the fuck you are. Why are you constantly bitching about everything the man does?

If he plays a concert full of hit songs. "Well, he's just playing tired old hits".

If he plays mostly new stuff. "Why is he playing that crap nobody wants to hear? We wanna hear Kiss"!

When became a J.W. "The J.W.'s are sucking the life out of Prince"!

But if he was still on stage humping the floor. "He's way too old to be doing crap like that. I wish he'd grow and realize he's a 50 year old man"!

He can't win with these people.

Its too bad that a great poster like "Murph" getting ridiculous disrespectful responses like this, his post was written in a respectful way, why don't you just respond in the same manner , if any of you have different point about anything , why don't you just get your point across without being so disrespectful.....its not that serious ....PFFFFF

I have known Murph for years , he is not just an encyclopedia about prince but other great artists too....


Respect.
He calls Prince a midget and then insults fans on both sides of the spectrum and then does exactly the same thing he accused mozfonky of in the other thread and I'm supposed to respect that?

Whatever I don't like about Prince, I would never insult how he looks.

How about we just let people be what they are going to be without making them change because we don't like it, whether good or bad?


yeah of course , everyone has a different opinion and you don't have to change it, in the end you believe what you want to believe nod , its all good. biggrin

but what im saying is that murph calls prince the purple midget sometimes .....so what? what so insulting about that? are midgets not human beings? im not saying that prince is midget, but i don't know why you look at it as an insult, please, I have been in discussions with murph about prince in the past and other artists, he could be one of the most devoted prince fans i have ever seen, but he could be also critical about prince too , I remember he was one of first guys to highly criticize prince when he decided not share his videos on youtube ..etc...

and mozfonky is a great poster too, I love reading his posts especially about MJ lol, its all good...

I don't think that his post was written in disrespectful manner, and you should all respond in the same way ,that’s my point, there is no need for some folks on here to say to him that you are a "Nobody", that’s not nice .

Respect.

I respect that Prince is gonna do what he wants to do, but that doesn't mean I can't have an opinion on it. Or him.


That's not the point...I have a view on the man too....And I've voiced it plenty of times (the Lotusflower fiasco site; his prickish treatment of some of the fan sites, ect...) But it's all coming from the outside looking in view....

In other words, I don't know Prince....I'm just a dude that likes and at times criticizes his music...I have a view and I will say it...But I'll never get to the point where I act like what he does dramatically affects my life as if he was an abusive girlfriend or family member or boss...

It amazes me how folks get so wrapped up in the guy's every move...I think that was the point of the piece...He's the same guy he was when you folks loved his dirty drawers...lol

It's kinda like that Saturday Night Live episode with William Shatner speaking to those Trekkie fans...Some in the Org have gone beyond the call of duty....

Murph my man, you should of just posted the original post and let it be, your just repeating yourself over and over now, to no fault of your own. They won't get it because in true gossip site fashion, they will only see or create the controversial aspects.

All people can talk about is that comment you made which wasn't even noticeable...until said people take it and enlarge it. Either way, the more they bring that up out of such a detailed post, the more your point is catered too....hence why i think you should ignore it all.

Don't give a rat's ass whether Prince is straight, homosexual, bi, or from another planet! I'm not invested in his personal life--don't care. Some of his music I absolutely love, some I consider so-so! Whether I agree with him or not, I acknowledge the fact that he is a singular, individual artist, and I still dig his music and find it relevant to my jazz/funk inclinations. He is neither a Christ figure nor the Anti-Christ; he is a human being and we should just dig his music or not dig it! And that, should be the bottom line! (Not that it will be!) LOL lol eyepop music

Right on point! thumbs up!

Prince was going to dress the way he wanted to dress, look the way he wanted to look and sing the shit he wanted to sing and he didn't give a fuck what we thought. My own insecurities were being attacked by this brass young cat from Minneapolis who was simply unflappable. It was now clear to me that a lot of my hate was envy... envy that this mutha fucker was going to do whatever the hell he wanted and we could take it or leave it... he simply didn't give a fuck.

The Prince we have now has changed a lot no doubt... but at his core he hasn't changed at all. He makes decisions based on what he wants to do and not what you think he should do. He's going to dress the way he wants to dress, talk the way he wants to talk and sing or NOT sing lyrics of his choosing... and if you don't like it tough shit... some of y'all just can't deal with that... but you can't seem to ignore it either. I think it's time to face up to the reasons why.

Great post! cool Really enjoyed reading your story, and Prince 'journey'. I have to say though, I got that from the very beginning about Prince, and it was one of the things that fascinated me about him, actually... really admired about him, always. It's easy to get carried away on here, either raving about his every move or criticising his latest release / fan site / whatever, especially when listening to others opinions. However, if left to my own devices... I take him and accept him the way he is, even if I don't always agree, because I think you're right, he's still the same as he always was. People 'mature' but they they don't really change. Prince LOVES to do the opposite of what people want / expect, and I'm not really sure you can be a Prince 'fan' if you don't get that about him. Always found it interesting how irrate people got about him lol Your post is a very interesting insight!

Thank you! Couldn't say it better in the post I just put up! I just visited my best friend in the hospital! What the F does she care if PRince is gay or not, if he makes music the same way, or if he is religious! IT DOESN'T F###ING MATTER! Prince doesn't know who you are and never will! He's not gonna visit you in your hospital room! Just enjoy his music! The joke is on you! razz

I have known Murph for years , he is not just an encyclopedia about prince but other great artists too....


Respect.






Thanks A-Dog for the kind words....



I can't believe the shit you're getting for calling Prince "midget". Which you've been using as a term of endearment! In every post I've seen of yours both here and mostly OKP, you've been nothing but respectful toward Dude.

I've seen Prince be called a lot worse round these and nobody says shit!!!

Yeah, I remember when that was posted on OKP.

It was a great post then, and it's a great post now.

I guess you can label me someone who's more forgiving of Prince's antics.

Mostly, because they don't seem that fucking serious when you get down do it.

I spent the entire summer in the hospital. The fuck do I care that Prince doesn't want his videos on Youtube?

I think people here get personally offended by the fact that Prince's music isn't as good as it used to be.

If Prince's albums are great from start to finish, fine. If not, at least I know that they'll be at least 1 or 2 jams that will be in rotation.

There people here who are too invested in Prince's personal and business life.

He doesn't know who the fuck you are. Why are you constantly bitching about everything the man does?

If he plays a concert full of hit songs. "Well, he's just playing tired old hits".

If he plays mostly new stuff. "Why is he playing that crap nobody wants to hear? We wanna hear Kiss"!

When became a J.W. "The J.W.'s are sucking the life out of Prince"!

But if he was still on stage humping the floor. "He's way too old to be doing crap like that. I wish he'd grow and realize he's a 50 year old man"!

He can't win with these people.


Great post! My thoughts exactly.

Thank you! Couldn't say it better in the post I just put up! I just visited my best friend in the hospital! What the F does she care if PRince is gay or not, if he makes music the same way, or if he is religious! IT DOESN'T F###ING MATTER! Prince doesn't know who you are and never will! He's not gonna visit you in your hospital room! Just enjoy his music! The joke is on you! razz



The religion thing kills me. Because he's been using Christian Religious imagery in his music and on stage for the majority of his career.

The dude put the Lord's Prayer in the middle one of his most beloved songs.

During the Purple Rain tour he would say stuff like "There's only one lord, Jesus".

Prince being deeply religious and spiritual isn't just a phase like some people want it to be. Because he's been this way his entire career!

Thanks homie...

We all know it's a weak smoke screen though....Some of these folks (not all) think that I'm attacking them, so they drum up some petty argument to try to discredit a post that was never meant to be mean and hurtful to anyone....

Like I said...It's the old case of if the shoe fits (you know the rest)...

It's all good....I think most rationale folks understand the underlining point of this thread...
