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



I don't think this means you're a Prince fan, I think this means your parents or older brother did a bad job at learnin' ya!

...you have the items in your Prince collection separated from the
"general stuff" in your music collection.

I SOOOOO have my entire Prince collection (and anyone associated with him over the years) in a locked cabinet. I know people think I'm crazy, but it's good to see that so many other people do the same things that I do. There's a bit of me in every one of these posts. Thanks

Sorry love dont get thrown off by the name. Im female all the way.

* When you ask the hotel clerk to please assign you room 319.

* When, in the days before cds became wildly popular, you'd pause love-making to turn the Prince tape over.

* You screen dates based on their level of Prince knowledge.

* You've tried *THAT KISS* in Purple Rain and it worked out pretty good. (a bit sloppy but good)

* You're a nymphomaniac.
...one who can writhe on the floor with the best of them.

* You have well-thought out philosophies on Uptown, the Dawn, the
Tourists That Didn't Land, doves, the number 7, Starfish and Coffee, and the New
Breed.

Guilty!




I guess now's as good a time as any to tell you that the lyric is "the tourists at Disneyland."

Although your interpretation does sound mighty interesting...

I recently bought a magazine for $10 because it had an interview with Prince from sometime in the early 80's and I'm not sure I ever saw it before.

keep your flames to yourself.
no need for name-calling...

I didn't get to read all the threads, but you are fan if you own a couple albums on Fricken 8 track tapes and no player.

U R are a fan if u own the original release DVD, the 20th anniversary dvd, a VHS copy and even an old BETA max format (no player) of Purple Rain.

you know that your a Prince fan if...

buy all Prince and Prince related items and claim to do it just for a psycho-analysis of the man via his songs and memorabilia.

...your fiance's seven year old daughter knows every word to "Illusion, Coma, Pimp & Circumstance"

...you have friends who refer to your ex as "Mayte" and your current lady as "Mani"

...you know the names of Prince's pet doves.

...you know the names of Mayte's dogs.

...you know who the hell people like Morris Hayes and Kirky J are.

...friends use you to settle bets about Prince.

...you saw enough shows that you had enough copies of Musicology to give to friends as gifts.

...in spite of having all those copies, you still bought a friggin' copy when it came out in stores (just cause you wanted the video, fancy packaging, credits, etc.)

...you know the names of various photographers who've worked with Prince.

...you know the names of more cancelled projects than just the "black" album.

...you find yourself educating people at parties as to who wrote "Manic Monday".

...you have to dig out a copy of UTCM, just to prove to some smartass at that party (who was trying to show you up) that the guy named "Christopher Tracy" that's credited with writing the song is actually Prince.

...you actually had a symbol necklace made BEFORE he changed his name.

...you actually own those moonwrap thingies.

...you have friends who are just as big of nuts about Prince as you

...you and said friends drop obscure Prince-related lines to one another at bizzare times (for example, at an Italian restaraunt, you look over at your buddy, put on a NY accent, and say "try the Canole, its fabulous")

Oh My God! This is so embarassing.
I had this theory about how the tourists in Lady Cab Driver were connected to the tourists in Sexuality, but they couldn't be a part of the new breed because unfortunately they didn't land. And you know what "land" means. Oy. :blush:

Which brings to this:
You know you're a Prince fan if you imbue simple lyrics with pseudo-deep interpretations . Otan anyone?

Here is what I used to do. I would arrange all of PRINCE'S albums so that they were in the front rows at MUSIC STORES. I also used to Kiss the covers so there were Lip prints on them actually.

The fun continues...


...U know the names of all The Steeles.

...U read the above comment and starting rattling off their names in your head.

...Friends always browse your CD collection and say things like "Who the hell is Elisa Fiorillo?"

...The only people allowed 2 criticize Prince in your presence are other fans that U deem hardcore enough 2 do so.

...U don't own a legit copy of The Family's album on CD, but know someone who does.

...U didn't actually BUY Tommy Lee's Autobiography, but did spend 20 minutes in the book store reading the chapter about Mayte.

PurpleKnight said

Yes, I used to love Train. But then the lead singer was on VH-1 talking about "nothing compares to you" and said sinead's version was great precisely

because prince didn't sing it.

Now, I truly hate Train.

omg thats me lmaooo.....and am thoroughly offended if someone else doesnt share my love for him ctfuuu

you stalk the owner of the local record store. To make sure he gives you all the promo stuff that comes with the new releases and he actually gets so tired of you that he starts to seek you out first.

pumpkin71 said:

that's the one .

You wrote a paper about Prince in the 7th grade (for me that's 21 years ago!) and still own it!

ThunderCer

You know your a Prince fan if...

...you start going to pawn shops to look for his cd's because you can't stand the thought of one being left behind like an unwanted orphan.

...you can't organize your music into Prince or not Prince stacks because you don't own anything not related to him in some way.

My girlfriend reminded me of a couple more this afternoon...

~When you go up to a girl you've never met before at a bar and ask her out without even introducing yourself just because you over heard her tell her friend that "If more men listened to Prince more men would have more sex!"

~When the same girl goes to see Prince on the Musicology tour with you on the very day of your two year anniversary.

I guess I owe the old boy a thank u card, huh?

~Maxx

That is definitely me, especially when any song references masturbation.
--you hear a profane song and say "Prince did that in '85"[/quote]

plus, you know you're a prince fan if you and your best friend refuse to get serious about a girl until she sees under the cherry moon and has at least a semi-positive reaction.

if you quit going to greek restaurants because of the pro-lamb message inside Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic.

Umm. . .these would be ME!

Your not a fan..your ill!

Gold319 said:

How about THIS:

You spend all your money on Prince CD's so ending up not being able to afford
toothpaste and ending up with worse teeth than the Queen Mother.
Now THERE is a fan!
