He's a country fan? Does he like this song?



If he does, then play it for him. And then, play "Purple Rain" because "Remind Me" is an homage to "Purple Rain".

If he doesn't like "Remind Me" but he's a rock fan, does he like this song?



Because Prince thought maybe "Purple Rain" unknowingly copied "Faithfully" and called Jonathan Cain of Journey to make sure they didn't think he'd ripped them off. They didn't, but anyone can see the songs are very, very similar.

So, if he likes "Remind Me" or "Faithfully", then he ought to like "Purple Rain". And if he likes "Purple Rain", then he ought to like plenty of other Prince songs.

Thanks, I was looking for some song. biggrin He knows this one though. He does like Journey, we almost went to a concert. He watched Purple Rain with me. He thought it was OK. Probably because of Appolonia though LOL. He thought Morris was hilarious. I feel a lot better about it. I was mostly looking for tolerance not "OMG I love Prince too!!1!!1" I still will be changing the radio in the car if he plays stations I hate. Since he does that to me. We will just be stuck with classic rock, or alt rock (we have that in common) in the car.

No matter the ©️, Paisley Park "official can never ™️ prince. He gave that to us verbally on Oprah in 1996. You can't take prince away from us, corporate. I mean O ( + >

Is this about Prince, or is it about missing your deceased spouse, and having strong feelings for the boyfriend, and somehow comparing the two....or finding a reason NOT to like the boyfriend as much, because having deep feelings will somehow betray what you had with your spouse...

Prince as dealbreaker? Hmm. Now if he says he hates Prince and then pops you one in the face about it, that would be a dealbreaker...

You are so smart. Yes I have survivor's guilt. Yes, it is impossible not to compare them because they are opposite. I am mad that I am capable of loving people so dissimilar. I guess I want to have a "type". I thought LH was my type but he would not have even been freinds with my new BF. Maybe I am rebelling or something.

Maybe I'm shallow but music is really important to me and if you hate my taste in music then we're done. I don't care how fine or anything else. If you hate the little man, you're not going to react well to my James Brown obsession or early Kool and the Gang records. Life's too short to have to sit thru Rascal Flats with some who HATES Prince.

In my case, they always dislike "RAP", while here I am recording hip hop instrumentals as a hobby.

Its not about being smart, but being outside the situation. I haven't read the rest of the responses to this thread yet, and sorry to respond so late, but I hope this is working itself out, one way or another.

Anyone surivive that?

He likes country and alt. Rock.


.


(Mods I am all bent out of shape, please move if this is the wrong catergory)


.


I thought it was FINE, but I saw my dead husband at the Prince concert Sunday. Or so I thought. I looked back and he was gone. My friend said "Oh I am sorry, was he a big fan too?" I said," no, well kind of, he SUPPORTED me as a fan, and he was around in the 80s to know about him better than me" (older guy), he took me to a Prince concert on our honeymoon. I thinks that why I "saw" him there. I missed having this in common and I had a flashback.


.


Anyways, I have to grin through Rascall Flatts now, while he cringes and makes me change the radio, or cd in the car if its Prince. I have tried to play so many different genres of Prince too for him, I have proven he doesnt just sing high or just do soul. One time, I convinced my highschool BFF with Darling Nikki, she was a marylin manson fan, and I thought that would be more her taste, and that worked!


.


We have our religion and politics on the same page, is this OK?!?


.


I told him, he will go to a concert with me and accidently have fun and enjoy it. He does not think so.


.


On Sunday, Prince closed with ICNTTPOuM (SoTT) and I was just so feeling it. Ironically, my hubby "left me" in June with a kid and a baby O.O. As a crazy fan I thought, maybe this is settling. (WHAT?!?!)


.


Ugh my life is nuts sorry about this rant. Maybe I should be embarrased that I am such a big fan that this matters. I just have so much tied into it. I mean I wouldn't be a poet if I had not come across Prince. Or a linguist, and help translate to save lives. It just matters. I love words and secret messages because of this guy.


.


Someone slap me and say. "Everyone does NOT have to like Prince!" Okay. I can accept that. Well, does everyone who loves ME have to?


.


Any of you with a Prince-hater spouse?!?!?


.


Someone find me the one exception song like when I found Darling Nikki for my goth friend sad


.


Any country fans in the house?


.


How in heaven will I ever be allright?





Have you been to the Prince forum--?
Half the org apparently hates him lol
