If you wanted to reply with Prince you would have said "Thexth" - UCM

Your a Prince fan if you write to him and
make it a point that your going to meet him
someday, go to the concerts and buy every music he
puts out even if you can't afford to buy the tickets
or the music

When you almost come to blows when someone calls him gay. That really pisses me off!

i just say that he's not gay, he just likes to groom and that more men in this world should like to groom.

that usually shuts people up because then they think i'm crazy.

u know ur a prince fan if:
* u have connections with a teacher who happens to be working the set of the Musicology show, and snag a crew t-shirt that u now sleep in

*u have a common bond with many of the arts teachers at ur school cuz they all like prince, and u burn cds for each other

*ur complimented for ur "bravery" for proclaiming ur love for prince

*u tell ur friends that the famed graduate of our school Carmen Electra wouldn't be around for the boys to drool over if it weren't for Prince. (yes, she did go to my school for several years b4 she went to PRINCEton highschool. quite a forshadow, what say u to that?)

*u want the school yearbook copy of 1984 just so u can see if there's a Prince referance anywhere

*ur planning ur trip to Mpls after graduation so u can go to First Avenue so u can see the rockin bands that play there now.

*u can endure the 2 verses of the Prince-themed song "he's a weasle" written Lovingly (NOT!) by ur friend who loves to sing it just to kill ur Prince High.

* u can relate to almost anything on this outrageously hilarious thread.

Been dere done dat.....

**- When you can name every one of the 700 samples on the NEWFUNK SAMPLING CD SERIES

When your 4 year old calls P "Uncle Prince" and Sheila E. "Auntie Sheila"

When he tells you to take out the "church music" and put on "Uncle Prince"

When your mother drives 4 hours to your house to watch your child so that you can sleep out for tickets (b4 i joined NPGmusic club).

When you dream about Prince buying you a light blue jaguar for your birthday only to wake up and run and look outside the window! (crazy)

But here is the worst:

When you are due to have a baby in April and are making arrangements to go to a celebration (if there is one) to bring the new born and leave the husband!!!

When you hear his musik and you know what hes feeling.
If you understand his musik you see Prince as an open book!

You know you're a Prince fan if:

1) You listen to Prince sing the line from the song, "High" which goes, "Eye'll get U high again", and you find yourself agreeing with him.

2) You keep coming back to this thread to post more stuff (as I have been).

3) You wonder if Prince is reading everything that has been posted here and is having a good chuckle at our expense.

1. When Prince is on everytime you get in the car...
2. When you are 2 hours late for work because tickets go on sale at 10am!
3. When someone asks you if you heard of a new artist and you go...who?
4. When someone asks if you heard a new artist and you ask if there is a Prince connection...
5. The only reason you listened to Alicia Keys in the first place was because she did a Prince remake!
6. When you cried when Christopher Tracy got shot and died ...
7. When you are ready to kick some a$@ because they said something about Prince .
8. When you dream about Prince for no reason.
9. When your kids know all the words to just about every Prince song.

And, last but not least...when everybody calls you to find out what they heard about Prince was true or not!

...when u have a dream about meeting wendy cuz she's working at an art gallery across the street from your house...and u ask her if she's spoken to "rodge" lately...

i dont know what i ate before i went to bed but bygod i'll stop doing that LOL

...when you spend three hours one night looking for the RRHOF perfomrance of "WMYGGW's" (org, Internet, everywhere!), and then play it at least three times a week...and get emotional every time...(it is SO beautiful)! !

SammiJ said:

OH MY!

ooooh i jus thought of another one lol

...when you're willing to pay your mom to watch the tv downstairs (the one she always watches) tomorrow night to set up your tape to record a hopefull appearance by the man himself...

well i wont neccessarily pay persay...but i'll do anything, my vcr isnt working on my own tv

lol

wow...as i continue 2 read this i realize how sad and pathetic i am...and i love it

piscesglenn said:

i know i know...sad innit?

either this thread should be a sticky or we have an official Prince.Org List made up so we can download LOL

*When you know who John Prine is.

*When you know all the dance steps to the Little Red Corvette video

You know you're a Prince fan if:

You watch the openings of the awards shows to see if Prince is one of the stars who is going to be appearing. When you don't see his name, you find yourself saying to yourself, "No Prince? You bastards!" You continue to watch the show anyway, to see if Prince wins anything, and maybe, just maybe, he will make a surprise appearance to accept the award.

pruffin said:

Speaking of John Prine: You know you're a Prince fan when you get pissed when you see John Prine's CDs mixed in with Prince's at the record store (I hate when that happens!).

jonylawson said:

Ditto!!! LOL!!

You know you're a Prince fan when:

- you defend the name change, even though Prince himself can't get the reasons right

-you put your prince cd's in chronological order by year of release :blush:

-you argue with yourself over whether newpowersoul is *technically* a Prince album.....it has his picture on it...but then it only says new power generation, but then the symbol apears on it...but it looks more like a tattoo on Prince's arm.....etc. etc.

-your boyfriend is so whipped that when he's flipping channels and he sees Prince, he calls you into the room and tells you Prince is on.....OR ELSE.

-you cut a piece of black pantyhose into a strip, place it over your eyes, and sing Computer Blue

-after hearing Starfish and Coffee, you really thought "butterscotch clouds" could be found at your local supermarket

-you went to the supermarket and asked where the butterscotch clouds are located



By the way, hey everyone.

pruffin said:

LMAO!!!!!

meltwithu said:

Wow, thats hysterical. I can really identify with some of these.

piscesglenn said:

WHERE THE HELL DID YOU FIND IT????? DROP ME AN ORGNOTE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!

...when your mom tells u he was on some countdown for the 20 sexiest men in music and only reached #14, and she was actually outraged that he wasn't number one!

my mom finds nothing interesting about prince but today she was all like "hes damn sexy! i dont understand why someone as haggard as bruce springsteen or steve tyler was higher on the list than him! thats so retarded!"

i, myself 2 say the absolute least, was shocked....
my jaw dropped and locked.

you quit your after school job @ Sizzlers because your manager won't let you listen to "Good Love" from the Bright Lights , Big City SoundTrack while working the grill...

When you picked something purple for your room. ( 10 year ago, Mom gave me a purple clock.)

When you see some clothing that Prince used to wear. (Like the black turtleneck sweater.)

Playing Prince music with your earphones on and

turn up the volume

Very upset, when you heard the news about Prince's first marrage to Mayta

But overjoyed when they no longer together


Fighting your Prince fan cousin for some Prince photos.
(I Which I got the most photos back then! LOL )

Staired at his photos and thinking something dirty with him.

And most of all...When someone said his name after, they found his story in newspaper or magazine. Run and grab it! (I did!!!! )

SammiJ said:

Even worse...I actually took the time to edit the entire TRC CD and REMOVE EVERY "Vader" snippet!

...It took me a week! But I've turned it into the Greatest Prince Album EVER!

When you watch the Grammy's...get bored to tears (this show was the worst)...but hoping, hoping, he wins...something...anything (how could he not with so many nominations)...he does...HE WINS...and you wait (shallow breathing)...and then he is not there ... NO IT CAN'T BE!
You get upset ...

at least for a while!

then you think.. who can BLAME HIM...for so many reasons...
then you remember HE WON... HE WON

then all is forgiven ...now that is being a fan.
