Prince fans that I can do without - revisited

Here it is again. You know you love it. In no particular order:

1. The Name Dropper - Anyone who refers to Prince as "P". How lazy do you have to be to shorten a one syllable name? Is it suppose to sound hip or cool? It is rampant on this site and I hate it. I bet Prince would too

2. The Cry Baby - Nothing Prince or NPGMC is ever good enough. "Not enough music released; these songs were releaed before; the sound quality isnt good enough; it costs too much; that video clip was on TV and now he is selling it; etc...". This fan just cant be pleased about anything and is not happy unless he is complaining about Prince in some way. You know, he is the one that acts like he is making a major investment for a measly 77 cents on a new track just needs to be slapped - with his broke ass.

3. The Prince Expert - This tool thinks he knows everything about Prince - but doesnt. Often gets the facts wrong and interjects alot of specualtion and opinion to represent as facts. Then gets all funky when you call him on it. Likes to start alot of sentences with "Prince should..." as if only he knows what Prince needs to do to be successful (because Prince is only a living legend at this point). This fan doesnt need to be slapped; I would just flat out kick his ass for fun.

4. The Show Stopper - this fan is usually a chick. She is the one that is ahead of you in the line to get into the gig and starts letting in 8 or 9 of her extremely tardy friends after you've held your place on line all day. She just acts like youre invisible. If you say something, she looks at you like youre crazy. Then when you get i the show, she is the one slapping you in the head and elbowing you in the ribs from dancing like a psycho hoochie. She will push you and jump over your back if youre down in front just to try to touch Prince. I killed one of these at the HOB in Hollywood during a Time gig about 7 years ago.

so is complaining about these folks part of the solution or part of the problem?

I'm a P. user and here is my justification. I'm a busy man. I got a week-old baby, a 3 year old, a dead-end job and a mortgage. I don't have time to spell out Prince. Calling him P. is just shorthand because this is freaking Prince.Org and I figure most people will know who I am talking about. I mean I guess some people could think I'm talking about Popeye or Paula Abdul or Paul Newman when I use P. but the context of the post usually is a dead give away.

Isn't it a tad presumptious to assume what Prince would like or not like on this site for that matter? I think we would all have to censor ourselves severely if we started developing a WWPT (what would Prince think) mentality. I love the man's music, have spent thousands of dollars on product, defended him umpteen times, and have stuck by him even when he didn't call his damn self Prince but an unpronounceable hieroglyph. So I think I am entitled to shorten the dude's name every onece in a while.

P. rules!
All good things they say never last...

lots of fans use "P" as an abbreviation, and most of the time i don't get the impression they're doing it because they want us to think they're somehow "down" with the paisley mafia. lol

i just think it's an easy way to dash off a quick post, and considering the name of the site's at the top of the page, they'll assume we know who "P" is.

i'm not a big fan of abbreviation in general, but i'll even use "P" from time to time when i'm in a hurry and but i wanna get a thought out. it's not the end of the world.

*the use of the word 'Pee' in the post above is a joke, a play on words, or letters if you will, and is in no way intended to denograte the artist formerly known as prince now once again known as prince

It sounds to me like you are a #2 fan--nothing is good enough for YOU. If you don't like P fans, then get off this site.
