I've been a fan since the beginning. Now my story begins in 19-dickety-two. We had to say ‘dickety’ cause the Kaiser had stolen our word ‘twenty’. I chased that rascal to get it back, but gave up after dickety-six miles. Anyway, long story short... is a phrase whose origins are complicated and rambling...

dickety lol

All the way back to 1979 when I heard "I Wanna Be Your Lover" on the radio. Then in January 1980, I saw him on American Bandstand and was totally impressed by his appearance.

"Dirty Mind" was the first album I bought....then I was hooked and went back and bought "Prince".

I bought "Controversy" within the first week of it's release. During that era I heard a DJ on the radio play "Soft and Wet". Until then, I had always thought "Prince" was the first album...so immediately I went and bought "For You".

After that, I bought every 45 and 12 Inch as soon as it was available. That's when I discovered the B Sides. I bought every album the day of it's release.

I was a fan the first time I heard "N.E.W.S." That album changed my life. Then he released "Musicology" and it had vocals on it which was cool because I didn't know that Prince sang too.

Since 1982. They say 2000 zero zero party over opps out of time. So tonite I'm gonna party like it's 1999! I was not a fan until 1982. But I first heard of Prince in 1979. When I was 8. He was on an album cover my friend's mother had. It was the "Prince" album with the feathered hair and ridin the pegasus on the back.

I heard a song and saw a clip I really liked in 1982 (1999) but didn´t know who
He was.2years later someone gave me the Purple Rain album just 2 listen
2 and the damage was done...Prince crazy 4 life!!!
Bought 7inches and 12 inches,albums,special issues..EVERYTHING!!
He has been a part of my life just like family and whenever I felt down
He gave me strenght,whenever I wanted 2 party..He sure was there. wink
It has been a wonderful ride,YES even in the second half of the 90`s
when people thought`he lost it´-and I´m still on it.
I´m a music fan with more than
600 CD´s in my collection but really..NOTHING COMPARES 2 HIM!!!!

July, 1984...P-Day

Much like Anxiety, I had heard some of Controversy and 1999, but not until
Purple Rain came out did my life change.
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.
