stillwaiting	Not sure, but I think that hippies are all at least 63 or so by now. Of course, you did not say how old this hippie was. Now, you do have "new hippies," copying that 60's culture to a point. The hippie Prince talked about in "All The Critics Love U In New York," was probably in his late 30's at that point. Not sure what I am really typing about here, but I think you get the point.

I saw him! I was in lodge 12, row L...he was a big distraction during Purple Rain lol Being that it was my 3rd time @ the concert, I didn't mind watching him do his thing. There was also a domestic dispute in the Putple Pit, way dramatic.

Next time you pull a card, it better be an ace, mothaf*cka, you could lay--face DOWN!

bobzilla77	Yeah he was a few feet behind me. I was the dude in the purple Hendrix shirt with the big coat tied to my waist. I was expecting to have seats & found it a little tough to dance around with my coat on - I'd have left it in the car if I knew I was in the pit. Hope I didn't distract anyone. I was more distracted by the tall chick dancing all crazy a few feet to my left. Great dancer!

That is so COOL. I love seeing fellow Purple Hippies at shows just tearing it up. I know i was dancing around like my Ass was on fire and people were lookin like, "Somebody get a bucket of water"!

Prince did an interview with a woman at Record World. They talked about whatever, then he asked her: "Does your pubic hair go up to your navel?" At that moment, we thought maybe we shouldn't encourage him to do interviews.

I was originally going to write "take a bath hippie", but seeing him dance around made me realize that he is a dude who is really enjoying the music. How fun!
