In spite of everything, all the edited music, all the negativism here, why do we;

and

It isn't all negative Gooey. Sometimes, the truth ain't pretty. I keep coming back because I love all you guys, even the ones who get on my fucking nerves on a regular basis. Although this is only a fan website, I have met and made some friends whom I know will be in my life forever.

A. I like his music. Not all of it, granted. But I've come closest to being a fan of Prince than anyone else.

B. This place is not about the music or Prince to me so much as a community I enjoy being a part of.

Here's a thought...if we don't buy his music, who will? If no one is buying then eventually he will not be able to afford to put music out and then it will all end. How will we feel if that happens?

B) Most of the time to act silly nuts and on the off chance that I stumble onto that rare 1% of the discussions that are actually quite informative and engaging.

(a) I still dig Prince's music, I'm in it for a long haul!
(b) I still dig Prince.org and the people here, I'm in it for the long haul!

nod

Well basically Prince's music still interests me. I quite enjoyed TRC and to a lesser extent NEWS. I've been following his musical journey too long to jump off now.

As for the Org... well I come here for the laughs really... plenty of nice people here that I've known for a long time. I join the occasional Prince-related discussion, the occasional political debate, the occasional silly thread in GD. So, it can be entertaining and interesting at times. Also, in times of Princely crisis (e.g. getting concert tickets, getting access to music etc) the Org family always helps each other out.

shrug I already stopped buying his music.

I'm here because of the company. And it's occassionally good escapism.

Org Inches
I don't know what to say really. 3 minutes to the biggest battle of our org lives all comes down to today…Either we heal as a team or we are going to crumble...inch by inch…play by play till we are finished…we are in hell right now ladies and gentlemen.

.Believe me…and we can stay here, get the shit kicked outta us, or, we can fight our way back, into the light…we can climb outta hell…one inch at a time…now I cant do it for ya… I’m too old…I look around I see these young newbie screen names and I think.. I mean I made every wrong choice a man can make… pissed away all my boots-I chased off anyone who's ever loved me. And lately I cant even stand the screen name I see on the screen…u know when u get old in life things get taken from you, that's part of life…but! U only learn that when u start losing stuff…..ya find out lifes… is this game of inches…so is prince…because in either game...life or football..or org/Prince...the margin for error is so small.

I mean one post a step too late or too early u don't quite make it…one half second too slow too fast u dot quite catch it…the inches we need are everywhere around us! They're in every break of the net, every minute every second-on this team, site, we fight for that inch…. On this team-site we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch!…..we claw with our fingernails for that inch!-because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the fuckin difference between winning n losing …between livin and dyin! I tell u in any fight it's the guy who's willing to die who's gonna win that inch!-and I know ..if I'm gonna have any org/Prince life anymore it s because I'm still willin to fight and die for that inch… because that's what livin is!---the 6 inches in front of your face…

now I cant make ya do it…. ya gotta look at the guy or gals or screen name next to ya….look into their posts ..Now I think you're gonna see a guy-woman who will go that inch with ya-you're gonna see a guy-woman who will sacrifice themselves for this team because they know when it comes down to it you're gonna do the same for them…. That's a team ladies and gentlemen…and…either we heal now….as a team…or we will die…. As individuals…. That's org/Prince guys….that's all it is…. Now…what are u gonna do? ( Al Pacino impersonation used with permission).

Because we're all fams, no use in denying it. The more you deny it, the more you come off as in denial. One's famdom may not be of the same degree as someone else's, that still doesn't mean you ain't part of the famship. Hell, look at all the threads about upcoming new releases, tours, and what Prince is going to do next; who are the quickest ones to post in it, that get the most excited, that hope it's going to happen (whatever it is)? The ones who usually deny being ...

Don't despise the word (as cornball as it is), don't use it as a negative connotation if it's negative to you. Famdom is what you make of it. You're still here. I'm still here. We're all still here. And we're all still interested.

And that's what's happening on Friday, September 19th, 2003.
