You take the day off school and work on the day of a new Prince release so that
you can get it as soon as its released in the "wrecka stow" and spend the
whole day listening to it. ( i did that with "Crystal Ball" and it became a custom.)

...if you can listen to and love TRC and look past the vader voice LOL

...if you can take absolutely anything someone says to you and find a Prince song that goes with it.

Wife: I'm gonna go take a bath.

Me: "Take a bath, hippy!! All the critics love U in New York. New York. New York. New York."

u can find a prince song 2 relate 2 ANY situation u r in....

If you say you hate the song "Jughead" but secretly you do listen to it once in a month...

If you obsess over P and his wife Mani to keep you company between albums...

if everytime you see the sign "PUSH" on a door you think of a greasy beat!!!

If you use Prince as a reference point for everything..I can link eras of my life as well as track other artists, all in terms of Prince. I'm driving my friends bananas...

If your friends would say about you to other people, "Yeah, she's REALLY into Prince." without their being asked about it.

...you have an old pair of purple pants in your closet that you just can't ever throw away.



























(yes, I wore purple pants back in the day)

Boyfriends have given U ultimatums...him or me.

'you know you're a Prince fan if..'

'... you check the org everday in the hope of a new release or tour, only to be dissapointed and find yourself replying to a thread like "You know you're a Prince fan if..." '

If u have the Prince Interview CD with no music on it!

If you have ten copies of Musicology.

*...you give Prince credit for the existence of other artists.
(Ex: If Prince had not worked with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, there
wouldn't be a Janet Jackson)


*...you enjoy pointing out that Michael Jackson is now "the weird one"


*...you've never heard: babies makin' babies, the jam, maybe your baby, etc.
before you heard His Holy Sexiness do them.

*...you answer the phone with "what it is?"

*...You can connect any famous person to Prince in six degrees or less (a la the
Kevin Bacon game)

*...You've seen Fargo 50 times, but keep missing the scene with Prince in it. ARGH!!!

*...you're ready to start a fight when someone says, "Prince who?"

*..you try to do the dance steps at the end of the When Doves Cry video
whenever you see the video. ( i can't even tell you how many times my brother has walked in on me, and starts laughing.)

*... you make a list of the obessive acts you committed, while your mother and brother stand over you're shoulder giving you more things to say or you start a thread on obessive acts over Prince.

People compare MJ to Prince and you freak out and try to explain the HUGE difference between them both.

OMG!!!!YES!!i literally will argue and argue and then not speak to that person until I have calmed down....3 things I don't discuss Politics, religion, and Prince..... unlesss, I know that they are on my side (re: Prince)

-U roll your eyes when casual fans tell U their favorite Prince album is "Purple Rain"

-U r quick 2 preach the evil of record companies and r well-versed on the subject.

-U own factory sealed copies of his CD's, "Cuz U never know...."

-Your favorite Prince song is so rare and obscure Prince himself has probably never heard of it.

-U still aren't ready 2 talk about the "Crystal Ball Fiasco of '98"

When your friends, family, co-workers hear any Prince news they tell you as soon as possible. When they hear or see Prince they immediately think of you. All of my friends and coworker have told me this.

When you have trained your mother and/or other relatives to always be on the lookout for Prince on television, and to tape his appearances for you. No shit, I have done this. My mother is well trained.

When you know the procedures and protocol of lining up for aftershows, you come equipped with all the supplies you need to make yourself comfortable before showtime (a rug or your coat to sit on the floor so you're not standing all night).

If you continue buying the albums even after you've been disappointed with the last one.

that's because we know they'll be at least one good song on it.

" when u get banned from one Prince fansite and come back to the first one u became a member of only to be happy that ya did and reconnect with ur felolow fans" (this has happened to me and I'm satisfied now)

" when somebady messes up at a Prince concert and when u leave u're like ' How the HELL did they mess that line up, it's so simple "Rasberry Beret", that's all she had to say, man, people r stupid' and then U remind that person of it 4 the rest of their life and promise to tell Prince when u c him just to make him laugh and get that pic enbedded in ur head"


there a so many ways of being a Prince fan it doesn't end

* if you're a chick and can see yourself in some of his clothing (im sorry but i LOVED his white hooded suit lol)

when - a Prince song comes on the radio or in a store, you recognise it within a nanosecond and that its track 8 of the 10th album and Eric Leeds gets credit 4 the horn part!

so what song is it?
