It seems prince has lost the magic yall.He has isolated america with his weirdness and his insistance on sounding like the 70's in his music instead of futuristic like he did in the 80's.I hate to say if But going at the current rate prince will be a lounge act in vegas in 5 years guaranteed.I think he should retire in Los Angeles and become a guitar institue instructor.Or maybe do the lucrative thing and do movie soundtracks exclusively.I don't know,I just hate to see people laughing at him and teasing him like they were today when I was on the subway.....It's embarassing..What do you think he shoul do?
Remember don't be selfish and say release more subpar crap like we got from these last two albums.What will make history shine better on our fallen hero?

AND IF YOU think those people came to heAR the MUSICOLOGY album I Got A BRIDGE in brooklyn to sell ya biggrin that's my point exactly....they came because he was playing THE HITS FROM THE 80'S NOT BECAUSE HE WAS DOING ANYTHING NEW AND GROUNDBREAKING ...for example the year before he did the ONA tour and could barely sell out 2,000 seat venues playing the NEW"OLD"STUFF.

WHAT DOES THAT TELL YA? VEGAS BABY! biggrin


Are we talking about the people that are going to see Prince, or are we talking about Prince selling out venues? I was responding to your statement about only old folks going to see Prince, which is not true. Prince fans continue to represent a diverse group of people both young and old.

If selling out venues is an important element to you and if you feel Prince is not communicating to you, then like I said, its time to take a break from Prince and move on.


Does this mean you too ?

besides, you cannot retire from something that you love to do.


You can retire from your inner being either. Prince is gonna be playing until that wrap up that purple banana and put him in the truck! Shoo...I'll bet after he's gone if you visit his grave site you'll still hear that damn guitar!

thanks for confirming that what i say is true.

which is above and beyond all romantic notions....
maybe then u will understand what is meant by 'Truly Living'


dont b scared of losing him
paisley park is in ur heart remember.

Doubt anyone is scared of "losing him". Unless he dies, retiring ain't gonna happen.

Madonna may get off her Disco Ball. MJ might take off the gloves. Prince will never put that guitar down.

Prince will never have a number one hit single again. And if THAT'S what you need, Go and listen to Justin or Nick or Jessica or 50 Cent or Paris Frikin Hilton..those are your new number ones. ANd Oh SO talented.

1. You didn't even answer my question sad

2. With all that crotchety and grumpy dialogue you are spewing, you mean to tell me you aren't in an old folks home now?

3. #1 single? Was DMSR an #1 single? No? Then what does #1 prove? The same thing as "3 minus 3... absolutely nothing...."

Its a little hard to take in and actually understand what you are saying here -How can you say he is weird when you seemed to like him in the 80's?? you couldnt get more fantastically weird than he was then?
And how on earth can you call him a lounge act when he's constantly accepting awards - performing on stage in front of millions - dueting with stars past and present - people asking to perform his music - stars of today watching and admiring him from the crowds - need I say more?? In my opinion - for a man to be around as long as he has and to still have the fanbase and talent to keep on going - influencing musicians all around the world - I hear his past and present styles in alot of music out today!!
I know that his light isnt shining as brightly as it was - but why should it?? hes done a hell of alot for music - and helped alot of people on their way - he can afford to sit back - do what the hell he wants (although some of his styles have even made me want to cringe!!!) but you cant please everyone all the time and thats fine by me..
All I want to say to you is never mind about Prince retiring from music - maybe you should just delete your account from the Org - retire yourself from listening him - he obviously doesnt do it for you anymore - and this site wont have much to offer you either - IMO wink

Should he retire? No, You should stop supporting him and move on to other musicians. Prince is not the only one out there.

its kinda the same deal as when you take a bone away from a dog

they snarl bark and bite


mindless survival instinct

no scope.



as for me i think i've given this mess of a situation enough of my attention for one month



gunna get back to what i was doin b4 the club shut down and i got yanked back into this comatosed state of existence

see you on the boards in a lighthearted fashion.

I love how one fan can project all that he feels about an artist as the truth and thinks it's what the majority believes as well.
