You know you're no longer into Prince when...

-- you start using your Purple Rain cd as a coaster.
-- you turn down a perfect copy of Wally.
-- you hang up on Wendy and Lisa.
-- you decline an opportunity to be set loose in the Vault.
-- you throw an authentic Vanity fishnet in the garbage.
-- you say "no thanks" to a drum lesson by Sheila E,.
-- you start prefering Alicia's How Come.. to Prince's.

I'm so glad none of that applies to me.

MichaelsLight said:

Me too.

-- you tape over rare footage of the Dirty Mind tour.
-- frankly you prefer Usher.
-- you use your Symbol tambourine to test paint samples.
-- you turn down a date with both Diamond and Pearl.
-- you turn your cloud guitar into a lamp.

That's just wrong

U stop visiting the Org every day 2 see if there's any news about a new tour or album.....

Aerogram said:

you say 'stop with the sheboogie and just pass the cream already'

You rate New Power Soul as a good album.

muirdo said:

I guess I'm not a Prince fan then. Is New Power Soul one of Prince's best? No. Would I rather it than 95% of what passes for R&B today? Yes. Prince's shit is still the best a lot of acts out there can hope to achieve.

I like the album, if that makes it so I cannot sit with the cool kids then so be it.

skywalker said:

uh-huh thats right.

go and sit with the folks who hate The Rainbow Children.

You start making jokes about his hips and chances of survival

You don't bother to go to the aftershow...

You don't know what the latest bootleg is...

Aerogram said:

I dont really like them, Diamond and Perl. I dont know why Prince even had them in the group.

-- you switch the channel during his "comeback" performance at the Grammies.
-- you forget Oh Sheila is not a Prince song.
-- you encourage Candy Duffer to sing.

...all your Org time is spent in the General Discussion forum.

--you've been an Orger for ions 'n' ions and forget how to post intelligent jokes about being a Prince fan?

lol

You get rid of your Prince album collection or any other Prince item(s) you may have saved or brought.

mmmmm does not apply to me

does not compute

You get alzheimers disease or amnesia and 4got what kind of music u like.

... Hell freezes over.

Man, I'd LOVE not to be a Prince fan. If not just for the sheer amussement factor of actually seeing hell freezing over, but it would just be so damn easier.

Some statements don't work, because this thread would need to be titled "You know you're no longer a Purple Kool-aid drinking 1-track Mind SuperPrinceFan when..."

When you visit the Org, the Prince/Music page is the absolute LAST one you visit...

You know you’re no longer a Prince fan when…

- You contemplate the ripeness of a purple banana but fail to see the irony of the truck that nearly backs you over in the process.

- You don’t care if you reach “The Dawn”, “The Sensual Everafter”, cross “Graffiti Bridge”, climb “The Ladder” or ever encounter the tickling sensation of “Lovesexy” burnin’ rubber in your pants. You just want a spot of tea and a cat nap.

- A gorgeous concierge smiles at you and suggestively says, “Sir, you’ll be in 319 this evening” and all you can think is: “Damn, I hope the elevator ain’t broke.”

- You make a death oath to absolutely; positively; never again refill your bottle of “Ode to Poom Poom” perfume -- even if severe cramping, cold sweats, bloody vomiting and delirium should set in again.

- You get in one of those midnight release lines at your local record store not out of dedication but out of desperation at finding a seller’s market for all your Prince junk.

- You’re dieing of thirst in the desert and you come across a mirage that’s advertising free strawberry lemonade and you instantly decide to take your chances at the next hallucination.

- You load your replica gun microphone.
