AMEN!!

Most people are fans come Post-Purple Rain, and others have this elitist attitude. No wonder Prince gets turned off!

I was at the Dec 18th show and this chick sitting next to my left was more interested in seeing the stars (asking me about Elisabeth Hasselbeck or during "the Beautiful Ones, was Prince married w/ kids?. *Insert side-eye of death right here* my response: look, girlfriend, I paid $200 for these seats, don't ask me anything until this concert is over.)

Needless to say, she had an attitude and I didn't hear from her all night. The couple in front of me, another idiotic moment: they all kissy feely, WTH???!! I had to let them know, can y'all wait tll you get home?

Then you had the people who were in the first row who were sitting down while Prince was singing. WHO DOES THAT? Mind you, these are people in seats where they scored the tickets through their company and they are too "chic" to party, because their bosses/colleagues are there. Uhh, this is your time on a weekend! Are you SERIOUS? THESE PEOPLE NEED TO BE KICKED OUT OF THEIR SEATS!

I've come to the realization that people go to concerts to be seen, and are not real fans. I cannot tell you how recently I've seen this, "I'm too cool to party at a concert" attitude I've seen in the past 10 years.

I've been a fan since 1978 at the age of 12. I can name maybe two or three Prince CD's that i was not crazy about, but I WOULD NEVER feel that he owes me anything. Just the pleasure of his music. People change, People grow, people GET OLDER...either way you look at it, Prince STILL GIVE 100% more than most of the performers nowadays.

I'll go see him even if he was in a sequined wheelchair only able to holler 'AWWAH"! I don't care, that's my baby!

Although I agree that some behavior at concerts is annoying (making out incessantly, getting ridiculously drunk, lighting a joint as soon as the lights go down...), I don't think it's fair to require that people have to be on their feet the entire show. You are not less of a fan if you sit...

- Some people don't feel comfortable dancing (and some SHOULD be more self-conscious of their rhythmless twitching )

- Others are tired or have an ailment that prevents them from standing. Hell, by the 3rd show, I was exhausted and sat thru a good portion of it. Am I not a fan? Oh, the HELL I'm not.

The same way you paid $200 for your ticket, so did the person who chooses to utilize the seat he/she paid for.

most annoying aspect of going 2 a show is smelling that weed smoke..damn light up in the privacy of ur own home or wherever but when their are kids around that's uncalled for and disrepectful 2 other patrons that came 2 see a show. anyone lighting up at brodway show? damn!!

Wow, I haven't been or here for a minute, but I just read the reply. I get what you are saying, but If you read what I said, I said that these people scored the tix through their company. Obviously I knew how they got them, because I was one of the patrons.

Again, elitist BS. I see it all the time. Next day: Me: "How did you like the concert? Them: "Oh, well it was great. Although I didn't know the opening act (Larry Graham) Me: "What was your favorite song: oh I love Raspberry Beret and Purple Rain. I really didn't know the rest of the songs..."

*Insert side eye of death right here*

If I could throw their asses in Lake Minnetonka I would! But the Hudson River is closer!

How do you go to a Prince concert and not dance? WTF? My man is like "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?"

This is why I love him!
