I think the difference is that most people of a certain demographic (who saw the original Star Wars trilogy when they were young) like Star Wars to some degree. Some just take it to an extreme. But I wouldn't say that most people like Prince. It's like the difference between being an alcoholic (too much of something that is considered normal in moderation) and being a heroin addict (using something that most people don't use).

The Census Bureau estimates that there are 2,518 American Indians and Alaska Natives currently living in the city of Long Beach.

No. The Prince fans that I personally know, have as friends are some Sexy MF's. His music started off sexy, so that attracts a certain type of individual.

I'm nowhere near Canada, and hate hockey.

I don't know what intergalactic fighting and light sabers have anything to do with Prince fans, but whatever.

I have a link for an artsy youtube video ( not by me) that mashes footage of Prince and Star Wars in an epic original instrumental. But I can't post it because prince.org is too scared to allow youtube links!

So, white people are nerdy? I have known black guys just as nerdy as white guys. You sound like a racist to me. Xenophobe?
