To Florida, or Canda if they'll let him in. Judging by his new "joint" it seems he is devoid of all funk and a catchy tune. Gone are the days when you could spin the latest Prince LP 50 times and still feel the funk, these days we get releases like 2004's Snoozeology and a rather bland tour.

It's time for him to delve into the vault and dig up some funky stuff

Couldn't agree more. He should bow out gracefully with his legacy intact

I think some of Prince's fans should retire.


We get it. Some of y'all don't like his shit anymore. Get over it and move the hell on.

maybe he wants to pull a lionel richie and go from funk to adult contemporary.

stevie did the same thing.

though from what i hear from a painfully reliable source, the album as a whole has some kick-ass stuff on it.

Why don't you listen to "She's Just A Baby" for the 1000th time and let the rest of us move on. Enough with the complaining.

I swear that if I play this new joint in my car I will fall asleep at the wheel and cause a very SERIOUS accident!!!!

liberation said:

You always have the option of retiring as a fan. But if you decide to stay around, ya might be eating those words when the album comes out.

I'm semi retired, i've been winding down now for a few years.

I think he'll surprise us. Im sure the album will be better

liberation said:

Agreed

we all knows he makes the best music when he's single and depressed. we need to get his ass divorced.

see i have a feeling that this is a "calm before the storm" thing going on with this. most of the time, the 2nd single is the main single that really sets things off, i.e. Mariah Carey and Gwen Stefani. i have a feeling that he'll come out hard and swinging with the next single, at least i hope.

And that "painfully reliable source" would be what, your hopes&dreams?

yup, you guessed it. the case of turtle wax and a deluxe version of the home game is on its way to your house as we speak.

I wish I could but I can't.
I still have two years to go .
Then I'll be able to retire
and qualify for the gold watch-tower.

May I kindly ask why threads got locked in series the last few days, but it obviously is o.k. to start a thread with the EXACT same title as another thread on page 1 of the Music & More forum and this thread is not locked???

because the people who mod this site are volunteers and do the best they can, despite having to deal with silly things like jobs and families.

Anxiety said:

...and I really appreciate that, Anx. It wasn't my intent to be harsh to anyone, I was just irritated as the "cleaning" of M & M was pretty efficient recently.

EmancipationLover said:

i don't think you were being harsh, but i do think people forget sometimes that the mods do this completely as volunteers, and as such we're not always on top of every glitch or inconsistency that pops up on the site.

that said, it's always helpful when users can take advantage of the 'report post to moderator' button and help us keep the threads clean. it's not just for reporting flames or trolls - if you see a duplicate thread, you can report those too.

Anxiety said:

Understood, next time I'll use the "report" option!

liberation said:

As if you were ever /even know about funk

Plus, if he reties, you would have no more bootleg claim to fame.

I still collecting his 80s stuff
Y lo amo corazón

DiamondGirl said:

Yes i would, plenty more stashed away for a rainy day.

prince should do whatever he wants, he's already proven all he needs to prove. anything from here on out is gravy, unless he gets a wild hair up his butt to one up himself in some way we haven't speculated upon. whatever he does, it's not gonna change our lives for the worse, so friggin' relax already.
