I started listening to P when I was about 12 which was about 21 yrs ago, OH MY GOD,I am old! Back then I did not tell too many ppl that I was really into Prince. In middle school I was in a lipsync group and we entered a school contest. (We performed Tamberine & America) We practiced everyday anyways just for fun. I guess after performing at school most ppl realized that I liked Prince. To this day, I still do not tell too many ppl, they don't get it! I don't care though. My step-bro is 15 now and I told him a few months ago that I was a huge Prince fan. He plays guitar and he is really into the 80's so I thought he would think I was cool. Well, it didn't happen, he laughed for about 15 mins, good thing we were on the phone. I would have choked him in person. I am planning on taping some things that I am sure he has never heard, he lives in Tennessee. I think as he becomes more aware of the great guitar players he will explore Prince. Anyways, any kids or adult that likes Prince is cool to me. OMG you're not old, it's just that he's young. THINK POSITIVELY! | |

Well, I started liking Prince when I was like 11, when 1999 came out...so I am old too, lol. Then toward the end of high school I really got into The Grateful Dead. I used to get my chops busted constantly because I was a DeadHead, but Prince was still my favorite. I never stopped loving Prince...I just have a wide variety of musical taste.
I know how nasty kids and teens can be when it comes to music, style & fashion, so I can understand why you would not tell people you are a Prince fan...but why would you not? I'm proud to be a fan and to know what I know about Prince!! The man is a genious and I have the utmost respect for people that can appreciate Prince! -may u live 2 see the dawn | |

I do tell people I am a Prince fan! I preach about liking him and other artists from the 70s and 80s and how they are better all the time, lol. | |

Well when I was 12, 3 years ago not that far away, I didn't know what an orgasm or masturbation was. How did you not? Oh, nevermind. Maybe I was just a little perv back then. Now I know it all. And that's the way it should be. EDUCATE THE YOUTH! | |

I am amazed that a 12 year would be into Prince, considering he has not been on the music industry radar for over a decade. I just wonder what would draw a youngster to Prince in 2004. @ first i was gunna say i fell in love with him @ 12, then again, that was 6 years ago...its true, being 12 in 2004 and lovin prince is so out of the norm....but i always consider that a good thing, like i said b4, shows maturity - yall got some taste youngins! | |

RazzBeret said: Lol, good point. Yeah, I get made fun of a lot because I like old music like Prince and Billy Joel, I don't care though.
My 10 year old likes The Beatles, Pink Flyod, Johny Coltrane (jazz) and Prince. So far most people just think its cool but some of the kids at school try to tease him about it. I'm proud he has the strength to stand up for what he likes in the face of peers. I probly have the worlds only 10yo boy who thinks Brittany Spears is skanky -- Just another Prince lovin, VW drivin, SuperMommy wannabe

[This message was edited Sat Aug 28 20:56:13 2004 by meow85] Well the only reason i knew about orgasms and masturbation at 12 was because i had a totally perverted, nasty friend. And i was a sheltered youth. | |

And the fact he calls Britney a skank is more brownie points for him. Most girls his age admire her "beauty" and music while the guys just wanna fuck the taste out of her mouth. Damn you Britney you cheesy hoe! | |
