Well, once my mum got my granny to sing purple rain to me at the mall, just to make me happy. She was 80 then. | |

All of my grandparents have passed. I doubt they ever listened to Prince.
My dad probably would though if I sent him some bluesy rock stuff. He is stoked about seeing ZZ Top with my brother this weekend. He is diverse in his music. He loves R&B and the Blues. My mom is not a fan even though she bought me Controversy for Christmas when I was 12 yrs old. This is all her fault! | |

My grandmother is 91. I think it's safe to say she's never heard of Prince. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

As a matter of fact, they do.  My Grandfather, being a Jazz musician, has respect for the man. He once said, "that Purple Rain song is fairly good". My late step-Grandfather always dug his music and my Grandmother always knew that I was nuts about the man. "That bwoi loves his Prince", she said. She knew that when Prince was on TV, you couldn't divert my attention for anything. That's the cool thing though, my folks have great respect for Black people that are successful at what they do and that made an impact on our culture and history. And we're on a website of one of them.  [Edited 5/28/08 6:02am] NEW WAVE FOREVER: SLAVE TO THE WAVE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE. | |

Well, my mother's mother hated him, but then she died....so I guess Sharon Stone would call that karma...or at least ask herself it was karma. | |

You would think the Divine Power of all the universe would already know the answer and have the wisdom to choose the correct forum.
Then again, perhaps there is no power behind alter accounts. 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. |

[Edited 5/28/08 6:02am] That's totally cool. My grandparents are all dead now, but I doubt that any of them had heard of Prince when they were still alive. If they did, they probably thought it was something about Prince Charles or the Royal Family in England. RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

No. But being the baby of the family, my pop is old as Methuselem and therefore actually old enough to be my grandfather ...and no he doesn't like Prince. He thinks he's a hack and has been saying so since I was 14  . I believe the words "press perm redbone midget that stole from Little Richard" used to frequently pepper our conversations when I was a young teenager growing up during the Purple Rain era | |

I don't think any of my grandparents have even heard of him and even if they did, I know they would not like him. | |

no...but I'll never forget the day I bought the Controversy LP...my great grandmother was visting us and when I brought it in, she asked to see what I had bought...I didnt wanna show her for obvious reasons, but she insisted...
she read the songs and said..."That's nice"...my great granny thought Jack U Off was nice... [Edited 5/28/08 9:03am] | |

Only my grandmother on my moms side is living and I doubt she even knows who Prince is Rhythm floods my heart♥The melody it feeds my soul | |

OH HECK NO. Old-school COGIC. She tried to ruin my "Prince" cassette way back in the day. Luckily, she was clueless on what destroys cassettes so it didn't work and I got it back and was much more careful where I hid it.  | |

all of my grandparents listened only to music in spanish...
no one in my world is actually a Prince fan, a few cousins of mine like a few songs, but I am the only nut in my family who has followed the man for 25 years!  | |
