Purple passion-Confessions of a die-hard Prince fan http://www.chron.com/cs/C...nt/2710276
Aug. 1, 2004, 2:09AM Purple passion Confessions of a die-hard Prince fan By JOY SEWING Copyright 2004 Houston Chronicle I never dreamed of a handsome prince on a white horse. My prince came wearing an Afro, boots and a garter belt. Prince Rogers Nelson emerged onto the music scene in the late 1970s, a strikingly beautiful young man from Minneapolis with an Afro so big you were afraid he'd topple over. Right On magazine -- the Tiger Beat for young African-Americans -- ran a pullout poster of his 20-year-old badness, and I fell head over heels. His talent was raw and undeniable. He played 20 instruments on his first album, For You. The lad they’d called "Skipper" was now a royal mystery, mixing spirituality and sexuality in a way no other had. I was in the audience during his first Houston performance, at University of Houston's Hofheinz Pavilion. His hair slick, Prince took the stage wearing an overcoat, women's underwear and stiletto boots. I had envisioned him as a statuesque 6 feet, but he wasn't much taller than me, a pubescent 5 feet. It didn't matter. I was struck by his coolness, his energy and his boots. He could dance in those boots. That was many years and so many concerts ago that I've lost count. I shudder to call Prince my obsession. I am part of a legion of fans who see him as a genius, our rebel with a cause, who speaks to us through his music, lifestyle and flamboyant dress. Though he’s now a Jehovah's Witness and has cooled the sexual overtones, Prince's hip audiences continue to love him. He says this will be his last concert tour. If so, we’ve had a blast. | |

I don't think he ever said this was his last tour. He DID say this would be the last time he will play his "hits". . but I even doubt that. | |

He never said its his last tour. He is claiming its the final time that he will play the hits, but he also said that back on the Act II tour in 1993. Only Bowie has claimed this more times than Prince. He did claim, back in 1985, that he wasn't going to tour anymore. That lasted all of 9 months. 
Do not hurry yourself in your spirit to become offended, for the taking of offense is what rests in the bosom of the stupid ones. (Ecclesiastes 7:9) | |

I hope this won't be the last time. I saw him again in concert and I like others hate to see him leave the stage. | |
