I've always known Prince but since I'm only 17 I hardly know anything about him and I've really been 'in' to Prince for the past year. So just tell me things about his music, life,... anything.
I'm from Europe so I'm not sensitive about sex-scandals and such...

His real name is Colin

He has a pet camel named "Ethel"

He likes to wear kilts when lounging at home

He once had an affair with David Hasselhoff

oh and his favourite musician is Bobby Crush

the basics are in the FAQs. click the link on that little menu above the forum.

Eline, there is a section called FAQs on this site.

I guess Dansa was a few seconds quicker.

Go to the local bookstore or library and pick up DANCEMUSICSEXROMANCE by Per Nilson. It's a book that chronicles Prince's first ten years in the music business. In the mean time just check out different threads. You can pick up a lot of info here. If there's something you're wondering about use the search feature, chances are it has been discussed. Prince's first studio album "For You" was released 27 years ago. So much has happened in that time it would be hard to know where to start as far informing you. I would say everyone here learns new things about Prince everyday.

This is an excellent site to hang out on, for people who want to learn about Prince, if you can get past the initial snarkiness. Congratulations on finding it.

Oh, sorry. Better ignore that then.

He's shorter than most insects.

He smells of lavender.

He wears lots of makeup, high heels, and lacy things, and has still scored more women than 99% of all men.

He is stalked by Zelaria.

He's into his mid-soul now, so that makes him 320 (well, that was back in 1992, so I guess he's roughly 333 now).

HEY!! What happened to my post? Was i a bad gay man?

It will be an ever-learning process.

Glad you appreciated it!

1. He's 5 foot tall, with 4 inch heels.
2. He can play almost 30 different instruments (but his drum playing leaves a lot to be desired).
3. He has more money than all of us combined.
4. Alec Baldwin and Tommy Lee have gotten his companion hand-me downs.
5. He wrote a song for Paula Abdul (why God why?!)
6. He will never ever spell out the word "for" or "two".
7. 2 Pac liked him.
8. As a movie director, he makes a great omnisexual rock star.
9. He is responsible for unleashing Tony M. and TC Ellis unto an undeserving world. (To his credit, he made their asses disappear again).
10. He is funky and when it comes to funk he is a junky.
11. Legend has it, he is hung like a Clydesdale.

Google him!

I swear I started googling everybody after that episode of "Sex and the City"
you'll find lots of sites with biographies, discologies and othe crapologies

have fun!

shetland pony, more like.

His name is Prince and he is funky.

JediMaster said:

Fifth soul, dude. Listen again.

GottaLetitgo said:

I've long suspected it, but you really don't have a clue do you?:

Number23 said:

Um...I had a couple of clues once but I traded them for some magic beans.

Did I miss an org meeting where it was decided that P was our generation's Buddy Rich?

It's called an opinion...sheesh!

Heiress said:

Most people don't mean to come off as snarky. But once you've frequented this site for several years or more participating (or even just lurking) you get rather tired of seeing the same questions asked again, and again, and again. That's what the FAQ link at the top of the page is for.
Not to mention the folks that come here and demand that people type out every album, DVD, etc., he ever released because they are too lazy to look it up.

Gawd I sound like Bart. (private joke that only the oldtimers will probably get)


Oh.... and welcome to the kid. Do yourself a favor and go purchase (or ask someone to give it to you as a gift) the book DanceMusicSexRomance by Per Nilsen. I believe it's on Amazon.

where the hell is he now, anyway?

AsianBomb777 said:

That's not right! He's really gonna believe that shit.

BTW Eline.....Believe that shit.....it's true

Here's something you need to know that isn't in the FAQ :

Once you start asking for details about Prince and his music, you'll probably end up like 90 % of Orgers : OBSESSED.

You make that sound like it is a bad thing.

I've heard he strictly uses corn-cobs!
