I quite like Newpower Soul.  | |

liberation said: For Prince it's ALL about control...it always has been. He does not care about these so-called fans. To HIM none of you here are what HE considers "real" fans.
These threads and petitions mean nothing, taking legal action is a futile effort....the law will always side with thr guy with the most money, he's got moiilions to keep legal action going....what do you guys have? You'll talk the talk and try fight the good fight, in the end you'll all give up and say it's not worth the money or the effort...Prince knows this. He can afford to wait it out alot longer then any of you guys. So i say to you all, cut your losses, get out of the Prince community, shut down these websites and move on. Oh, I'm not going to spend a dime to fight Prince on anything he does. Hell, I need the little bit of money I have. My point is, this isn't even a Prince issue to me at all. This is an issue that the general public should be pissed about, not just Prince fans, because he is trying to control what people can say. If he can control what someone says, then someone else behind him is going to try to control free speech and so on and so on and so on. This should be a fight for the general public. Andy is a four letter word. | |

GreenLeaves said: Why is he doing this. It honestly makes no sense. What does he hope to accomplish - complete control over what is said about him?
...Then, there's the question of, "What if this works." Maybe I'm just being paranoid (or just don't know what the hell I'm talking about), but will this set some kind of precedent, where Free Speech is concerned, if this gets to court and he wins? It's been said that there are people affiliated with/working for Paisley Park who read the forums. If they do, and they see this : You guys need to tell your boss he's fucking up, man, because this shit is petty. I mean, c'mon - fan forums? Siccing lawyers on fan forums?! I know I bitched in the "Vote Poll" thread about wanting to see a show happen in my neck of the woods, but with the way he's handling things now, I'd just as soon stay my ass at home and play "Mario Kart", or some shit like that. yea.. there's a thread in the Concert forums i saw ..that he might be in my neck of the woods soon .. but uhm.. i wont spend a dime for real if a judge awards him victory for not discussing him  (omgosh) i will be sitting right here @ home.. typing on the Org  | |

Absolutely correct. Scary that he is even attempting to do this. For Freakin sake, Prince - ever hear of the First Amendment?
To protest, I will NOT be buying any music or concert tickets etc. I'm sure I am not alone in this. Actually, this could put me off buying anything Prince from now on.  [Edited 11/5/07 23:08pm] VOTE....EARLY | |

[Edited 11/5/07 23:08pm] I agree with you guys. That's the primary concern/worry here. | |

Now, he's trying to drive people away who have loved and supported him for over half his life. That is in-frikken-credible. Yall deserve respect. You are one of the most loyal fanbases in the world.
He is such a fool. "Yall" ?? Your apart of US arnt u??! A Prince fan is a prince fan (and in this case alot of X's) no matter how long they have been with him  1Kiss, I say YALL too!! Im from the US...Mississippi! Tora...Im backin' u up on this one!! The one and only Technagirl | |

He just did 21 nights in London. And he's grossed how much money from that? Refusal to buy tix, etc., might not make a dent in his bank account

I think it's cool how some of us are adopting this as our avatar picture:
We should all use this same avatar, show Prince that we are going to stand up against him, and fight his ridiculous actions against us! RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

I wonder if "I'm gonna study the bible" thingy after the London shows is part of this as well. He rewrites almost all his original songs, erasing his image and music from his fanbase internet sites, and wants to "redo" his life into something we dont understand. Hmmmm...I guess when u get over 50 ur mind just change 360 degrees. The one and only Technagirl | |

I've being a fan for 21 years, the Paris Parade concert was the first concert of my life but now it's over, his fans are more interesting than him, he and his lawyers can f*ck off, I'm glad I did not buy PE and since I find in Neil Finn's music everything that is missing in Prince's current songs I have no regrets, this guy is the king of the assholes.

wow. i go to work for a couple of hours, and come back to THIS? yikes. well, as always i'm chock full of ideas/statements. the first thing i'll say is..... rember when i WARNED people that getting tattoos of ANY artists was a BAD idea, because you never know if that artist will do something to change your mind/opinion? i bet there's a few of ya'll that wish you hadn't done that now, eh? no worries. a really GOOD tattoo artist will be able to cover that up.em now. on to my ideas on this subject. some have stated that there's really nothing that you as fans can do about this. i beg to differ. FIRST of all, and i know Ben doesn't have to listen to me but i'd change the name of this place with the quickness. as a matter of fact, i'd hold a contest with the Orgers to come up with something. www.purplenazi.org sounds freaking hilarious to me. (i didn't come up with "purple nazi", but i sure as hell am going to be wearing that out) AND then, back to the fans. I SERIOUSLY think that we, the Prince fans should stage some sort of protest. We know how rabid and loyal Prince fans as a group are, and Prince has ALWAYS taken that for granted. NOW, i think that we should use that strength and stand up for ourselves. I know that I would go whereever for something like that. If it's in Minneapolis? fine. Make it anywhere. Chicago, LA, NYC, Detroit, whereever. Have multiple ones in many cities, but make them all on the same date. But there'd have to be some central theme/advertising done to get more bang for the buck. Try to get some local news coverage. I think a couple hundred Prince fans staging a "Prince-out" and smashing their cd's and burning some effigies would sure get the local media's attention. Prince needs to understand that enough is enough. We as fans don't need to be told how to think about him. He's not our f-ing father!!! I'm going to leave it at that, because there's a lot of other insults/profanity that's bubbling to the surface, but we're trying to keep it civil. That's all i've got for now. Reguardless of anyhting that he says or does and whether I like it or not, my tattoo's stay and I do not regret them at all because like I said, that symbol means as much to me as it does him, so u can forget me covering anything up  And I will always love his music even if I dont like his attitude  PRINCE IS WATCHING U  " When an Artist Creates, whatever they create belongs to society"
U can't polish a turd.. but u can roll it in glitter In my Profile Pic | |

When I first saw this pic I thought PFU stood for Prince Fuck U!!!!!
The thing is, that is my sentiment right now!!!! All u are, Prince, 2 me now is just a greedy money-grabbing egomaniac fuckwit, nothing more, nothing less!!! U dont care one iota about God, u dont care one iota about your fans and u even dont care one iota about your music now cos, if u did, then your music now would b a million times better than what it is!!!! I am now declaring publicly that the 02 gig I went 2 on the 4th of August will b the very last Prince concert I have ever attended and will ever go 2 in the future!!!!Its the end of the road as far as I am concerned!!! 2 me the gig was crap anyway!! It had all the hallmarks of a cheap, crassy Las Vegas Revue show!! GOODBYE PRINCE!!!!! | |

PFU = P, Eff You! LOL!
I'm really glad the sites have decided to stand up and take action against this. Our fandom and support shouldn't even be any kind of issue or concern to him. Maybe he has too much time on his hands? Hey Prince, instead of "scouring the net" for your "likeness" how about you, you know, work on making your music awesome again? Cause at the moment, it's almost B-Grade. We get it, you live in the past. You don't want to progress. You must NEVER go with the flow. Always rebel. So why not let us live in the past too, back when your music was actually worth listening to. And where we could go one song without hearing about how bad pagers are in a song about love and about baptism in a song thats supposed to be about a funky chick. Quit the preaching, Prince. You're not a priest, you're a popstar. And a public one. GROW the hell UP and get used to your fame! [Oh no, I said hell! Shit, I just said it again! And I said shit! oh SHIT! oh SHIT!!!!] It's been over 30 years since you became famous! Surely that's enough time to, you know, develop a thick skin and say "You know what? These people line my damn pockets. They continue to buy when they could download. They continue to support some of my songs that came out years and years ago. I'm no longer relevant but damn these fans do a good job of trying to keep me here. Maybe letting them relive the good ol days online isn't such a horrid thing after all". What next, are you going to sue yourself because, after all, what's more your "likeness" than YOU? Are you going to sue Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince Harry for using your name in front of theirs? How DARE they?!!! Don't they know who you are!? Cut the crap, Prince. Cut the "IM A MASSIVE CELEBRITY, BOW TO ME" bullshit. We know. We know you're a genius. We know you're good at music. We know you're one of the greatest. Now hurry up and prove it.

just sent the press-release and the link to my local newspaper here in belgium...hope they pick it up.
Don't understand his thinking at all. I was with him when he went on his anti-bootleg crusade, I never bought 'the best of' because he asked his fans not to, but this is a bridge too far. unbelievable! It was not in vain...it was in Minneapolis! | |
