apparently I am.

no

ultimately he is aging...as are we all
and whether he's a pop star now or once upon a time...is irrelevant..
so yes, he is/was a pop star and he is aging. but is he JUST that? No, I feel he's more than JUST that.

MickG said:

No, no, no. He's getting older but "aging popstar" hell no. He still looks great.

Prince is forever !

Prince is an idea.....of what music and a musician SHOULD be. He just happens 2 be in the form of a man.

Pay attention.....re-read this if U need 2.

We're all going to be "Once upon a time" Mick.

As for "just another aging popstar", I don't know of many other "aging" popstars that have much significance. Prince has some because people still ask questions, listen to his music and jam at his conecerts.

He' like a fine wine that you pour into a glass. Sniff, settle on the palate and savor or just drink straight from the bottle. I'll take his music any way I can get it.

he has longevity and is above average as a musician

he is not to be worshippied and his music product is to b sold.


he is human and will age as we all do. he is not majical but he is a hard worker with many gifts and talents.

No.Prince can still make the house rock and has got a lot of hits in his future. Go Prince!

Prince is still a bonfide "Popstar" but I think it's time to do away with the makeup. Or that Geico commerical with Little Richard (mashed potatoes graavy cramberry sauce Wooo Hoooo) is him in another few years...damn not Prince.
Help me..somebody Help me!

sgmusic said:

come on now! little richard has a bit more than just make up going on there!

sgmusic said:

I was watching TV with a friend after American Idol. We just saw P perform and my friend asked "Why all the thick make-up?" (she has no interest in P, she actually said "Oh, he's still around" ) . Then low and behold, Lil Richard and Geico come on a little later and my friend screams out "That'll be Prince in a few years!".

I did not have an answer as to "Why so much make-up?".

I responded to her second comment with

Mick, whats the whole point of you posting in here, you start soo much threads and have such a ...well... peculiar way of dealing with the subject, it all comes over as a bit 'unhealthy'....

Shorty said:

are you just being a tease? You reiderate my question into a 4 line stanza but leave it unanswered. you tease.

Graycap23 said:

This was a very good answer. That's not saying I agree with "what music and a musician should be", but if you believe that, it's about as perfect of an answer as I was hoping for.

Riverpoet31 said:

It is a bit unhealthy to me. I'd tell you but would you believe?

the answer is no.

MickG said:

Hi Mick,

I just realized who you are. You're the Cliff Claven of the Org.

You would probably be a pain in the ass to have a beer with.

MickG said:

a tease I can be...but is not what I'm am doing right now.

how can you NOT see that I DID answer your question?
Your question:
" Is Prince Just another Ageing onceuponatime Popstar?
My Answer: Yes, Prince is Aging, Yes he is/was a Popstar but is he JUST an aging popstar? NO, he's more than JUST that. comprende?

huh...on a side note...it appears both Ageing and Aging are acceptable forms of the same word? odd...

Of course he is a popstar!

All he has to do is announce a tour, and people are lined up to buy tickets!

Eric Clapton is an Ageing onceuponatime (pop)star, but I bet he can still fill a concert hall.....Probably with box upon box of Bran Fibre Cereal to help his bowel movements,,,,,But you know what I mean...

When Prince does one of those "Unplugged" albums.....Then you know the time has come....

I am one of those people that love pure music. Unplugged is far from the end, it might be a new begining.

MickG said:

I know Mick.....I was just having a Giggle.....I actually own eric Clapton Unplugged. Being a medium sized fan of Clapton.
I like Acoustic guitar music too which helps

I would like to see Michael Jackson Unplugged.....From his Life support machine (Just Kidding MJ fans.....Dont be throwing down the white satin glove !!)

myownprivateinsanity said:

Please tell me you are talking about filling the hall with fans and not poop!

setyrmindphree said:

..... Yeah.....Fans.....EC is actually a great musician, just not the best .....I do like a bit of EC through my PC

sacredwarrior said:

how can people scroll past this image and say nothing.
did it stun u into silence?

once upon a time a star is born with a heart of love in music.
only the eternal presence exists.

his aging shell is a reflection of believing and being in the world of men
his youth lives on in the heavenly realm

The only thing that separates Prince from older groups like Midnight Star, Con-Funk-Shun, The Barkays, Cameo, Lakeside, The Dazz Band, etc., is that he has an extremely large and diverse fanbase that has continuously stuck with him over the years.

As far as making a huge splash in the current music scene, he might do it every now and then but his huge fanbase is what keeps him constantly making money as opposed to having to playing various old school music festivals and casinos like the rest of the older groups.

As far as making a huge splash and staying in the mainstream constantly, I don't want him to because today's mainstream is a bunch of bullshit. He needs to just keep making music to please his fan base and tell the mainstream to go to hell.
