If I ever get up on stage with the man, I think I'm going to offer him some gum or maybe a mint.

"Care for an Altoid, Prince? No? Okay, carry on...you sure? They're curiously strong, you know."

Something's funky baby, is that your breath, or mine?

Yeah, he's hot but how would someone feel if a complete stranger walked up and touched them?

confused Well think about it this way.... Touch is one of our most intimate types of greeting.. (hand shake, pat on the shoulder etc)...
I mean if some one is grabbing for his "privates" that is ONE thing..... but what is so wrong with a soft pat on the back, or a gentle brush on his arm?????
I have noticed that SO many people in this world get SO upset if some one TOUCHES them..... Lighten up.
I have been with people and some one puts their hands on their back to get by and they freak out!!!!!
Personally I think its nice when some one gives you a nice friendly touch.. smile
I don't think "P" really minds that much unless some one is grabbing or being really pushy.. I mean HE is the one bringing people up on stage.....
And he KNOWS the fans love him!!!! lol

Exactly. If he were to lean down to the crowd and reach out his hand to me, I would definately take it.

well sure, if he did that it would be ok. but i'm thinking he doesn't like being grabbed at or poked by his fans. i sure don't like being touched/grabbed/poked by strangers and i'm not even famous lol

Wait now..... lets get something straight..... (lol) POKED AND GRABBED is different then being TOUCHED!!!!!
Being touched is USUALLY done gently and with respect...
I honestly don't think that if Prince DID NOT want to be touched or "crowded" that he would have people come up on stage.....
I agree, I am sure he does not want to be POKED at..... LOL
But come on.... guys LOVE to be touched..... lol
biggrin
And on another NOTE.. BRAVO to Prince for bringing up fans of ALL shapes and Sizes!!!!! lol

My wife was in the middle of the stage dancing crowd in Reno and as Prince was coming toward her to get to the other side of the stage, he very gently touched her arm to move her as he needed to get by. She immediatley looked at our section of seats, stroked her arm where he touched her and our whole section cheered. She'll never be the same...He touched her-very nice.

Thank you, Prince and the NPG. We'll see you again this tour. Keep up the fine work.
