But at least it wasn't his idea. I'm pretty sure he realized the whole thing was hella goofy.

Prince is still cool with me.

Though it was very uncool of him not to respond as he should have.
News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so.

sweety, I like you an all, but there needs not be bitterness toward prince on female issues.

They left him because he was never with them. It takes two to tango.

The "My Name is Prince" video. Someone actually had to sit me down and perform an 'intervention.' "This shit is weak/whack."

"Hello, my name is Ottorino, and I'm a Prince-aholic."

What the hell is going on in this photo? Is he telling someone off or something. I didn't see the broadcast, but I've seen photos of him dressed like this at the piano and I thought he looked cool. Did he act like a fool or something?

So why is he uncool here? Cause he's wearing a suit and glasses? Get over it, man. He's cooler than ever.

He's still cooler than 99% of what else is out there, but his appearance on American Idol was a very UNCOOL thing for him to do.

And if this Happy Feet nonsense and Superbowl is true, those will both be notches for uncool...


not cool edit disbelief

The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp.

He never became uncool in my perception. IN fact, he is cooler now than
he was 20 years ago. He is much more slick in his appearance and not
as freaky looking. (all those wild outfits from the 80's)
His music is cooler than the top 10 on billboard..

I don't want to look like FammyMcFam but never, really. shrug

Okay, he does things which confound and confuse us, he does things which seem totally irrational at times but that's why we love him. smile And who's to decide what's 'cool' and 'uncool'. confused

From "Around The World In A Day" on up. Before that, he was cool as hell in every way. After that, he started getting all artsy/fartsy and even made some "Waldo" ass classical music.

He is cool to me like 90% but there were a few things that is all sorta wrong in my opinion
When he stopped promoting 3121 just as the album went one album too. That was uncool and weird at the same time.
also when he had battle with W&B and self-exclaimed himself as being a slave and them being a plantation. He lost respect from folks in the industry in the process.
and when he refused to join the rest of the musicians onstage in singing we are the world by sucking on a lollipop at 1995 American Music Awards

I can't help the way I feel about it. Maybe there shouldn't be bitterness on male issues, either??
He was with them at some point...he married them.

Prince is a cool dude, but a few of fashion choices have kind of turned me off:

1986--Finger Waves in UTCM
1993--Finger Waves and the puff on top of his head
1998 (or 9) The multi-pigtail look.

But other than that, he's been right on!
I love a Man who:
Wears More Make Up Than Me.
Wears Four Inch Stilleto Boots.
Changes His Name To An Unpronouncable Symbol.
Who Changes His Name Back From An Unpronouncable Symbol.
Oh And Most Importantly, Who Is Sexy Little Drop Of Butterscotch

If I found Prince uncool, I sure as hell wouldn't be here right now.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that
