Um, it's not that important but most of my mates respect him in some way or another - even if they think he's a freak. lol One of them used to rib me relentlessly but this is someone who thinks Robbie Williams is the Second Coming. neutral Yeah, I made a mistake. rolleyes

Like others have said, though, it's MY passion. Not that they can't share in it - I'd love it if they did - but they have their passions and I have mine. In some ways - fammish as this sounds - I am quite reluctant to even go there with them... that would be like opening up my bare naked soul for everyone to see. eek As I explained to my housemates: the night P announced the O2 concerts, the press conference was shown on tv. *I* was excited mr.green yet, immediately, the groans happened. I had to go and watch it by myself. Why ruin something that means so much to somebody else? I don't mind a bit of pisstaking but I told them it was like telling a mother her newborn child is 'ugly'. You just don't do that.

Okay, that's a bit of a leap lol - and I haven't explained that in quite the way I'd like - but point being: piss off. lol I just think it's kinda sad, and cruel, to ruin other peoples' enjoyment of things.

Same, but now that I think about it...just about everyone I know that has mentioned Prince to me in one way or another say they respect the hell outta him even if they are not really fans. No one makes fun of me for liking him.

ok well heres my little thoughts. I know a lotta people. They dont like Prince..They think im a freak for liking prince but thats ok ive put up with that for 18 yrs. I just would like to have a significant other. someone reliable that understands Prince music. They dont have to be a massive fan but im fed up wif people saying to me ...Why do u like the midget purple freak etc . Ive given up trying to justify myself. But it is lonely going to Prince meets urself and not being able to go to concerts etc coz its too expensive too go on ur own.

Co-workers posted P's photo in the platform flipflops on my locker at work as a joke. It was titled "Here's your honey".
They noticed the photo because I like the guy. Interesting note.

I like watching prince films by myself with a bottle of wine. Last time I watched UTCM with a nonfan girlfriend she kept banging on about how gay he supposedly is mad

Alone, is the only way I would watch also, I hate when people feel the need to comment on everything from his shoes to his walk. I happen to love both.

not too important. I actually like the fact that the majority of the people I meet do not like him. Then little by little PRINCE grows on them.

They come over, UTCM is on, they really have no choice but to glance at it.
They come over, Prince CD is playing, they end up listening to it. After a while
they begin to enjoy his music.

biggrin
Say it's just a dream...
U open up ur eyes and come 2 realize
u simply imagined this
So u lean over and give her a kiss
Here on earth, here on earth,
with u it's not so bad
Here on earth, here on earth
eye don't feel so sad
Stay right here
