Wouldn't it be nice.....OPEN INVITE I was just thinkin'... all these threads post so many questions regarding PRINCE & unfortunately all we can do is speculate HOW he would answer.
Wouldn't it be nice if PRINCE would come online 2 prince.org and answer whatever questions his wishes 2 answer. Maybe this could be a monthly thing or whenever he felt like it..... I invite Mr prince rogers nelson 2 visit his "FAMS" here and answer our humble questions.....cuz we so adore him!!!!! P.S. Okay people b4 u heckle me...I know this is a long shot...but can't a brotha dream | |

Nice idea, never gonna happen.
Prince has not once in his career given straight answers/answered without a script. I highly doubt he's gonna break that habit now. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

you're bordering on delusional if you think that prince cares about the people that have bought his records. | |

Prince can be quite the dick when it comes to his fans. Some might argue, but he's yet to prove me wrong. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

Damn..so much negativity.....i dont know why u would be on this site if u felt such disdain?
I don't choose 2 judge the man. His fams chose 2 BUY the music... He has given his fams so much beautiful music and enriched our lives. Doesn't him calling us "Fams" give us a clue as to how much respect he does have for the public whom cherish his music. I think so many xpect too much from the man....for example: music he never intended 2 release now spreading like wildfire..he doesn't have on obligation 2 ever release this material official YET so many "Fams" think PRINCE OWES this 2 them??? Judge not, yest ye be judged. | |

Others are passing judgement...like the comment of bordering on delusion. I merely posed a question "why would u be on a site if u felt such disdain" I never said you should not be on this site! That is judgement . [Edited 4/4/05 2:16am] | |

Judge not, yest ye be judged. I love his music. But until he proves me otherwise, I think he's a dick. Just because he's created some beautiful art doesn't automatically mean he's a beautiful person. He might well bea good person, but if he is, he's chosen to protray himself as somewhat of an asshole. I can seperate the man from the music. Can you? "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

As a part of his fam-base, I embrace the music...that it is all it's ever been about for me! Regarding the content of his character and the type of person he is. That is between PRINCE and JEHOVAH. It has no basis on the music and his GOD-GIVEN talent. | |

Precisely why I am able to seperate the two. Prince's music is great. But is Prince a good person?  Who knows? Maybe he's one of those "bitch by day, heart of gold by night" types.

All I can say is I love the man.
His music has been such a blessing in my life. I thank him and Jehovah for his music. | |

He IS the music, pure and simple. If you seperate the man from the music you don't get left with very much. What has he done that makes him an asshole. Stopping people dealing in bootlegs? Refusing to speak with the media, they'll print what they want anyway. Name me one other artist that has given so much to his fans. In the distance a light shines and I know it is mine. Someday I will touch it because it calls me. It says cross the line, cross the line. I know everything is not always what it seems, so I pinch myself daily just in case it's a dream | |

Pearl Jam are a great example They realise that the way to stop boots circulating is to sell the recordings themselves at budget cost to the fans. Prince's method has been to lash-out at anyone he thinks may have mentioned the word "boot" in any way such as Uptown Magazine who merely reported on their existance. | |

Pearl Jam are a great example of what. Making bootlegs legal? Justify it to yourself anyway you want, bootlegs are pure and simple stealing. Prince realses what he wants you to hear. Mentioning them is tantamount to promoting them. I am proud to say I don't have any bootlegs and don't feel any compasion for people that get shut down and sued for promoting or dealing in them. They are not theirs to sell. They are not yours to own. In the distance a light shines and I know it is mine. Someday I will touch it because it calls me. It says cross the line, cross the line.

So just to clarify.....you're saying that Uptown should have been sued for even mentioning that bootlegs exist, despite the fact that they never promoted or dealt in them ? If so, could you please let us know under what legal point they should have been sued ? | |

Your spirit will thank for it! | |
