What's the one thing you'd want to say to him, more than any other?

I should prolly answer my own question.

Wow, it was a good one, wasn't it? I can't think of a thing.

Hmm.

I HATE me for asking this question!

*6 minutes goes by*

Um, as of TODAY, the one thing I'd ask him is why he keeps sending his lawyers after his diehard fans.

I'd also like to know how he can follow so much of the Bible, but then ignore all the comments regarding greed and wealth being bad and sinful.

Actually, if it could only be ONE thing, I'd let him know how much I'd love to hear a rock album, like Purple Rain (only with even more grind and guitars). But I'd have to put that in the phrase of a question. I guess I'd ask if he'd ever consider it (doing another rock album), or if he's over that phase in his life.

Then I'd start feeling insecure and would type something stupid and nonsensical like, "funny dance whip?" and scare him away!

I suck.

Luv & Peace,

that was a good one...

To be honest i wouldnt have a clue what to ask him, i would be totally amazed and stunned..

i would want to ask him pretty personal questions and he probably wouldnt want to answer them, considering he has never met me before and i am a complete stranger to him..
Therefore i would most likely just sit and stare at him in adoration..

Read any good Book lately?

I'd ask him 'How's it going? Alright?'

Hello, how are you
Have you been alright
Thru all those lonely, lonely, lonely,
Lonely, lonely nights
That's what I'd say

do u listen to any1 of ur albums and notice a mistake because u r such a perfectionist

he'd tell u to CHUT IT

Hey Prince.....



i was thinking ... and i could use some advise on this one....

what do u think i could do to persuade GOD to talk to Lucifer and tell him that all is forgiven and they should stop this silly war between the ONE of them and give him a hug and say Come HOME...

God is LOVE

if I was Lucifer i would disapte in his Arms
Like Purple Rain


That's my ONE question 4 Prince..... today

To quit the religious direction and play the good stuff.

Dear Mr Prince

Why are you constantly trying to chase away your fans? I mean, you tried pretty hard throughout the entire 90s-decade, and now you're doing it again..



Do you NOT want people to like you? Do you resent people who like you, listen to your music and buy your albums?

Or are you just so f***ing rich you just dont care?

sloopydrew4u said:

His diehard fans and website domain owners should know by now what is and what isn't safe territory. Honestly, everyone should be suprised that HQ got away with the sharing, trees, etc for so long. Is it disappointing? Yes. But I don't see why once again everyone would get their feathers ruffled over the situation and fall victim to Battered-Princefan-Syndrome. Bootlegging and sharing will continue without Prince's approval, it just means you have to do your own work and find 'em.



Bad and sinful my ass. "This is a bidness. You ain't to far gone to see that!"

I'd say a couple of things...

Your hot
Your at your best when your playing live.
We *the fans* made you, we can break you.

Yeh i would want to say that 2, although i doubt that it would be the first thing i would say to him..

psykosoul said:

Ditto PYS...

Seriously, I would ask him what he thinks is his best PERSONAL accomplishment. And I have thoughts if he'd want to hear them

Purple Rain, The Rainbow Children and Lovesexy. And Sometimes it Snows in April, for being the only song, other than Kermit the Frog's Rainbow Connection to make me cry, every time I hear it.

I"d tell him this >

It's time for the "Old Prince" to return. You've been stuck in the same retro rut since 1985. Bring back the "Old Prince".....he's LONG overdue!

Dear Mr. Prince,

If it ever gets too cold for you in Canada you can come and pay me a visit.

Up Yours,

Dear Prince,

drugs are bad mmmmkayyyyy

I tell him he shouldn't add a horn section to every song played live
and play more Rock !

Dewrede said:

here here. Id also tell him that he is without doubt the single biggest musical influence in my life and im in awe of his genius. If that didnt scare him, id keep going like so:

Id tell him not to play so many snippets of "hits" in concert, and play select full versions. Who hear wouldnt kill to hear say a whole 5-10 minutes of I would Die 4 U, I would (and yes without the horns).

Id tell him to keep challenging himself musically, ala Rainbow Children, and not always feel the need to pander to the market, ala Musicology.

Id tell him to make the NPGMC one big massive music store devoted to dowloadable music, particularly live stuff.....more live stuff....more. This would make bootlegs redunadant, hed be happy then, & rich.

Id tell him to work with wendy and lisa again, just once at least.

Id tell him to come and play 10 consecutive nights in Manchester, England at which he'd play a different album in full every night (Id pick and choose the albums obviously, to avoid any embarassing/awkward NEWS, New Power Soul, Emancipation related incidents ).

Id tell him to bite the bullet, and negotiate with warners again to release remasters of all his albums up to Come. (this could then coincide with my suggestion above about playing albums live in full)

Id tell him to take singing lessons. Controversial one i know, but i think his voice is getting worse lately. Its unlistenable in some songs. He needs to start taking better care of it, and learn to make the most of it.

Id tell him to let rhonda play more funky stuff. I know she does already, but i just cant get enough of her funky stuff. Id also tell him that i think this current band is the best he's ever had, and thank him for all the wonderful live music theyve given us over the last 3 years.

If I hadn't broed him by this point Id thank him for listening to my points, and that id look forward to hearing his feedback in writing in the near future.
