Do u think P grew up 2 fast?

I mean ever since he became a JW. His music has changed just as he has.
I like his recent music (1999-2006) but I never really got 2 see the eccentric,
mysterious, light side/dark side Prince u all got 2 see 1979-1998. Not sayin Prince should never mature overtime, but I just wanna see some of the old Prince
where he used to jump off everything, dance on pianos, do the splits, and do crazy yet amazing things that u would try when u got home. Now his fans do more of the performin than he does. We come on the stage dance and act fools and he just laughs while some mess up the words to his songs. Just look at much music video Kiss and DMSR.

I know he can still do this stuff if he believes he can. "I can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthins me." remeber that Prince. wink

All i ask 4 P is one album and one concert tour that is like u used 2. So i can understand the experience all the older prince fans had. sad

Please! neutral
hav u had ur + sign 2 day.
eye wish u heaven
worship GOD

I'm not sure prince ever grew up.
News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so.

Child please by a dang tape if you want to see that. The man is almost 50 freaking years old and doesn't need to be jumping off anything but a golf cart. You were born too late. Stuff happens. Hell, I wish I could have seen James Brown in his prime but I was either not born or was way too young. I got over it.

backpedaling to the nastiness wouldn't help us younger fans in the least--if you wanna understand the experience in all that, all's you gotta do is watch and listen to the shit prince did back in the day and ask the old-school fans how it was.

Prince becoming a JW cannot stop the natural process of aging. He just can't do all that jumping around and splitsanymore, however, seeing him live in March, believe me, the energy is still there!

The heels helped him a grow a little.

Oh, you mean maturity. One thing you can say about P, it's the fact that he is a lifelong seeker of HIS reason for being. I respect anyone who asks tough questions and searches for the truth.

WTF????? REAL P??? So who's this imposter going around?? You're SHELLshocked in a time capsule. With a "fan" like you, it's a good thing Jimmi Hendricks, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, John Lennon etc. died young. Otherwise, you'd be questioning "Why haven't they died already???" UNBELIEVABLE.

I disagree. I'd rather see more of Prince playing guitar and excellent vocals than gymnastics. If you need that, go to a circus. Better yet, drop off from his music and stick with whatever is out there that appeals to you. Forty eight is still PRIME TIME. How limber are you? I'm interested in your level of physical activity. How about some stats; height, weight, etc,..With your standards you must be coming in 1st place in triathalons. You must have some awards you can post? I'll settle for 1st place on the dance floor in GRADE SCHOOL!!

I could and would handle it far better then he did.

He's touched the hand of god, and fallen from grace, all in the name of love that is confused into lust, and now he sits up on high, thinking he requires salvation from a blind group of sheep. Oh Geeze.

you forgot to mention how he lives his inadequacies through others and simulates all his dreams come true in a materialistic toxic cheaped-out version of red headed twins and a new singer who doesnt quite cut it.....

but that aint the point.

u dont get to grow up when ur living in an unreal world no matter who you are
u only get to grow as much as that world allows you..which isnt very much
and its naive to think that just cuz ur the centre of that unreal world that ur controlling it
it controls you.

doesnt mean he's excused every time he sets fire to the landscape on a whim
he pays in many ways and there aint no escapin that



i like u mick, i think u alrite, just be careful how far u dip ur toes in, cuz all kinda nasty come thru the cracks if u get sloppy. xxx

It is been said the life span of a man at one time in biblical history was around 350 years. If you think about it that way, prince is nothing but a pup.

I'm certain his fams helped him grow. You can only listen to fams to a point (I would imagine) in helping with personal growth. But, Sir, I am absolutly not a Heel! biggrin
