Why is Prince STILL being cryptic

I LOVE Prince...don't get me wrong.

BUT I am so tired with all the riddles and cryptic messages and hints of things to come. Just tell us! What difference does it make one way or another? You'd think that he would want us to know things as we are his fan base. We don't need hints and riddles anymore.

If he is going to tour, let us know.

If he is coming out with a new album, let us know what to expect. Get us jazzed about upcoming projects! If it's a movie, it's a movie. If it's a magazine, it's a magazine. Be "offical" with stuff and squash the rumors!

Is he afraid that it won't live up to our expectations? Have we dogged him too much? It appears that he doesn't care what anyone thinks, when it obvious the opposite is true. Or is he afraid of mentioning things that perhaps will fall through? Is that why no official word comes out of his camp?

It was cute when he put in the lyrics to ATWIAD in the tour program of Purple Rain. Now it seems pointless.

Hasn't he? biggrin

Really I don't care what he does or doesn't do. It's just that his communication style sucks.

As for the concerts I agree. Alot of peole here do crack cocain or other expensive drugs, or just need to budget in general and a 70 dollar concert ticket requires some advanced planning.

The thing that annoys me the most is when he's in an interveiw and he doesnt' ever answer anything with a straightfoward answer.

Lawd, why do the interview at all?

I love Prince.
I really do.

I just wish he'd come out and give us straight answers like George Bush does.

I must be. You know back in the day, it was fun. tHere were reasons for the wierdness...mostly due to his fight with WB and changing his name...Being Cryptic and talking through puppets was part of it.

He has had a renaisannce of sorts since then and takes himself and his music very seriously. I feel he really wants to hit that Purple Reign again. Acting like "The Artist" doesn't really behoove this.

So I ask why STILL be cryptic? I mean sure, It's nice to have a little mystique as an artist, but when that turns into a silly shroud of mystery, it doesn't make any sense.

the only thing you should remember is that there have been a million
riddles in the past. especially from the npgmc. all the hype, all of
the cryptic stuff.

and in the end, what came? the albums we have now plus a handfull of
download singles.

so i'm not losing any sleep over his babble anymore. all it is will
be revealed in time. if it's a tour we will hear about it from some
unofficial site like housequake or prince org or newsweek but it is
def not coming from npgmc, lol.
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

And another thing that I hate. What wierd ass answers he does give, his fans sometimes take as dogma.

For example, he referred to his fans as "Friends" in a Chris Rock interview once, and all of a sudden every asshole up his ass is referring to themselves as "Friends" or "Fams" falloff Like Prince was ever gonna just let you walk into to his house on Thanksgiving day and indulge in some mashed potatoes. disbelief

I remember being nearly cursed out when I said...no, we're NOT friends. We're "FANS!!!!!" lawd, did I get screamed at for that one. lol

Prince...please, we beseach you, just give us straight answers, and go back to wearing ass revealing tight pants again.

I think that he just likes to keep people guessing, because he is private and he doesn't like people all in his business.

Might as well ask why is Prince still short.

Because he is.

So what if he's cryptic. It's just Prince. Life will go on whether or not we know the true meaning of Moonbeam Levels.

Then why bother? Why not just be recluse and put out albums whenever with no fan fare and no hint or warning.

I see what you mean. But some people are different. He probably perceives things differently. I think that he just makes his own rules. It's like himself against the world. If you know what I mean. I don't think he wants to give all of himself in an interview, nor does he wants to give nothing at all. So he gives something at least. So.... smile
