Who is this? PRANK CALLER, PRANK CALLER, are you on a cell phone ? i dont you !

My aunt and Uncle playing 1999, Prince(album), and Purple Rain on Vinyl in the basement when I was a lil kid. I'd stand up on my uncles old exercise machine, and grab a broomstick and pretend I was at First Avenue.

Me 2...I was only 1 but I knew back then...My mom and dad knew I loved Prince back then and they brought me Prince albums, 8 tracks, (of course they liked him too) but me -it's been like 26 years may-be 27...

Honestly I can't really remember...I guess I have always been into him...I grew up loving his music on the radio all I know is I became a die hard fan when I got the Purple Rain album in 93 and loved like every song. Oh I became obsessed with him after that!

My mom is a Purple Hippie. I was raised with Prince in the house. My mom is 42 years old.

I remember hearing the drumz and baseline on "Dance On" and being entranced. I would keep rewinding starting at "Pick It Up!!" and having a fit dancing around like someone possessed. I was 8 or 9 when Lovesexy came out.

riiiight...

Back in 1984 (here in california) I babysat for some kids whom their father, mother and uncle use to claim went to high school with Prince. They brought it up one day because they use to always hear me with my purple rain cassette (this is 1984 mind you) The kids were like: "our parents went to high school with Prince ya know?" Knowing the family had just moved to town from Minneapolis, I asked and sure enough they had! They were very critical of Prince. Jealous, I suppose. It made me buy more cassettes, to bring along everytime I babysat for their kids

Intro - 1999, Purple Rain, but a girl I'll refer to as "Cynthia Rose" layed me down, in the dark on her dining room floor and insisted that I listen to Condition of the Heart. Everything changed.

I was 16

I was watching what in my country is the equivalent of MTV back in the 1984. I was 8 years old and and after watching "When Doves Cry," I fell in love with Prince and his music.
