- Well, actually he released The Rainbow Children in 2001...but I get your point. I am worried about Vegas too

avasdad said:

Hmmm, guess so. Appreciate your honesty. At least your not damning us for continuing to like him like other folks.

Take care.

When a movie is over, do you stand up and announce that "it's over" or do you get up and walk out? Just wondering.

Did you ever stop and wonder if perhaps what's changed is not only Prince, but you too? It's so much easier to blame your inability to be excited on something external than to accept that it could be you.

The tone of your post is so much more than a fan wishing an artist would take a different path. You seem to have so much more invested. Perhaps you too should check out that "really good shrink".

Is it just me or is there suddenly an increase of "hate" on the org?
Like, every other thread is like this one.

Not a cure but they may help:

What about support groups? Like counseling on how to log off fansites and ease with the transition to other artists?

That's classic!!!!!

perfect!!!!!

Damn. I love you guys. At least you're honest. The point is, avasdad, you just miss him. He doesn't owe you anything though. It's his uniqueness as an artist that has us coming back for more. Do you have that love/hate syndrome going on when you feel he's not giving you want you want musically? Well that's because he's giving you what he wants musically and when he feels like it. Get my point?

There's no other artist like him in my opinion. In the meantime, while you're waiting for another album or tour to drop, go visit some relatives, read a book, go see a play, listen to another artist's music, exercise, maybe seek therapy, that BPFS is working on you that's what that is, you just need a hug that's all It's ok, we're right there with you, that's why you're here.

For goodness sakes, just go out and live your life. The Purple One will be back and you'll be waiting in line like the rest of us at his next concert. See ya there, okay? So stop kidding yourself, cause I bet you'll be the first one in line

Prince wouldn't know enough to say enough because he ain't there.

been around long enough to be convinced the artist deeply cares about his fans. the gravity of it might even blow your mind . . .

i'm just shocked anyone's dissin' 3121.
i think it's such a great cohesive all around fine piece of commercial work.

i love it cause there's somethin' on there for everyone's taste.
almost like he's trying to please everyone, and i'd give him major props for fulfilling that intent w/his unique & everlasting savoir faire.

I would never do that..people here are cool, we can agree to disagree

i used to do all the crazy stuff back in the day, like stand in line overnight for some tickets that didn't go on sale until 10:AM. but as i got older, that became less and frequent. UNTIL, in March of this year, when i got to dance on stage with the man himself. ME--surounded by Prince, Tamar & The Twinz...shoot, i could have been hit by a bus and hung from a cliff by my fingernails, and you wouldn't be able to get this shit-eating grin off my face.

so to answer your question--we all have our Prince ups and downs--but usually we come back for more. (we're gluttons for punishment)

anon said:

dude are u feelin'alright??? We are all getting older and I accept that

I am sorry for you that P doesn't excite me like he use to...are you going to be ok?? Maybe a couple days off and in bed should cure you...see a Doctor, tell them "everyone doesn't like Prince like they use to, what am I going to do?

Boo-fucking-Hoo

Cult Following is a better word than Fam.

FamilyFeud said:

- That´s exactly the point....the ´piece of commercial work´...it seems that Prince did this album just to prove the world that he could produce contemporary dance floor tunes (Incense and candles, for example) and that he could emulate his 80s work (Lolita and Black Sweat).
In the past, Prince´s albums were unique, they pointed to the future, not to the past or to the trends. Of course I like some tracks of 3121, but I understand why people dont fall in love for it.

prove to the world that vegas aint that bad of a place

avasdad said:

Please, I bet yo azz will be in line if he does a tour. Plus one less person on line just makes room for one more. Why complain here about it if it's over for you. One less fan won't make a difference in P's life;he's a living legend and will always have fans.You're not taking food or money from P's mouth if you decide not to buy his music. Furthermore, every album he makes is not going to make everyone happy. But he will continue to make the music he wants to put out and he's not forcing anyone to like it. You can take it or leave it and move on. As far as Prince not caring about fans, not true at all. Went to a couple of his shows over the years and he was very much into his fans. Okay,so the club shut down suddenly, big bahooey, that's Prince, always mysterious, does things people question, may not like the way he does it, but this is nothing new. I will be a fan as long as the music is out there. I'm not going to like every song, but the fact that he has a variety of different sounds, when everyone else is sounding the same is what keeps me coming back for more. He is what he is.
