What do you think Prince thinks about the fans that he has inspired?

Does anyone have any knowledge or guess as to what Prince thinks of fans who really look up to him? His music and him as a person. He has really conquered alot. I really look up to him because he is honest about his feelings and brave enough to tell the whole world how he is feeling and I also admire how he is living his dream. He really took charge of his life and that can be scary sometimes.

But other fans have been inspired by him in other ways such as picking up an instrument, writing songs, learning how to dance..or whatever. I wonder how that feels to him to know that so many people get everything he puts out, love to read interviews on him to know what he is going to say next...and people who just fantisize about him/meeting him/being like him.

I know Prince could kinda be mean, scandelous, and I'm sure he has fucked people over in the past to get where he is...but despite all of that I think he has alot of wonderful qualities that I could only dream of possessing.

It must be gratifying to have so many people validate your existence on a regular basis. Whenever he gets down on himself, he could just go on tour. But at the same time he has to deal with jealous colleagues, hostile critics, stalkers, and Cindy Crawford.

For every budding musician he helped inspire there are probably a dozen haters who regard his success with dismissive envy. So it cuts both ways. While he enjoys more attention than any of us could imagine, he has no privacy, trapped in the bubble of his celebrity, unable to go buy a bag of groceries without getting mobbed.

I imagine he genuinely appreciates his fans, but is also afraid of them. When he sings on Adore, "Without you there is no me," it could very well be the artist talking directly to his listeners.

But missed the orchid

The story I heard was he expressed interest in her but she shot him down.

Cindy C is supposedly about her.

I loved that song. I was really young and KDWB used to play it late at night on the radio. I wanted to find it soooo bad but you know this was before the Black album was offically relased. pout

I was really young too. I enjoyed the groove and the badass attitude but it took years to realize just how hurt and miserable it was. A far cry from his bedroom seduction songs. Not Prince at his most mature.

I wonder if he distances himself because it would be unhealthy to know so much about his fans as he could just by coming here and reading all about us eek it would be creepy. And it would be difficult for him as an artist if he tried to take on board what people want to hear, since it seems we are very divided on we they like and don't like. Although I am sure he gets a kick knowing some of us still think he's hot giggle

It shouldn't, babygirl. He's just a man.

True. I really don't get nervous around men at all. But the ones that fascinate me scare me. sexy
