Prince pet peeves.

Does anybody have and Pet Peeves, that annoy you ?
Basically when you mention PRINCE and someone ays, something dumb.
Two things I hate most is 'He's gay' or 'he looks like a girl'.
I know it's not that serious.
But to hear it everytime I mention Prince is just plain out annoying.
Your lips would make a lollipop too happy.

"So what is he supposed to be called now? The Artist, right?"
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

"Prince? His skin is getting lighter just like Michael Jackson's"

"Prince? Didn't he have a rib removed so he could you-know-what?"

"Prince? Yeah, he's cool... but what's his real name?"


Me = mad

I have 2:
- "U mean 'The Artist Formerly Known as Prince'." (No, I meant Prince. That's what I said! confused )

- He's still around? disbelief

"Love Hurts.
Your lies, they cut me.
Now your words don't mean a thing.
I don't give a damn if you ever loved me..."

Although Fred Armisen is funny and Prince seems to think so too, I can't stand when people make the Fred Armisen/Prince face, or any face that's supposed to look like Prince but really only winds up looking like Garth from Wayne's World.

When the press talks about his height, calling him diminutive and vertically challenged, anything little when to me he's proven himself to be bigger than any man I know mad

On the way to work, I thought of another one-
The color purple. I can't stand when I wear it, and some idiot says, "You're wearing that because of Prince, right?" Or something is purple and some jerk starts singing "Purple Rain" or makes a Prince wisecrack.
That was over 20 years ago! Let it go! mad

On the red carpet on the Golden Globes, Jay Manuel wore that hideous velvet purple jacket- and he kept gushing, "I look like Prince!" bitchfight

"Love Hurts.
Your lies, they cut me.
Now your words don't mean a thing.
I don't give a damn if you ever loved me..."

I also hate it when people talk about his age like "oh my goodness he can still walk, you know he is 48 years old"! like he's supposed to be in an old folks home or something!

I hate when CJ calls him "Symbolina." She just wrote another article this week and called him that again. Or when she refers to his stature. He didn't choose his size.

What bothers me the most is when people come to me and say: You're on the prince.org again. You're waiting for Prince to come back to Minneapolis and perform at the park again.You're going to Bunker's to see his ex-members play again or simply Prince again...
I really feel like answering: "Tell me what to listen to, then!" or "Tell me who to like, then!"

That'd definitely get on my nerves.

But if I weren't a fan of "American Idol", I'd have no idea that he was still making music. I saw him there first and then everything slowly started unraveling and I became more of a fan with each surprise performance (meaning I'd hear of it on short notice).

In fact, if I weren't a football fan, I wouldn't have seen him in the SuperBowl and I wouldn't have come here and become the fan I am. Then I wouldn't have had any idea the kind of career he has going for him currently.

I bet you're all glad I came here and I'm not among the ignorant public.

Oh man, that's SO LAME. Nobody should talk through a Prince CD... it's a listening "experience"... you can't experience it if you don't really listen to it. I feel bad for anyone who has to go through that.

I spoke 2 a girl of about 15 the other day and when I said Prince she replied "WHO?" I remained calm and chose the best and most common reply: "The artist who sang Purple Rain. I turned my back and walked away 'cause I saw her eyes glazing over. She has no idea what she is missing.

Another one that I hate is "Oh, the artist formally known as Prince". I then go into the whole explanation of the WB contract etc..... But what I really want to do is provide a swift wake up slap and respond with: "NO YOU IGNORANT FOOL! WHERE HAVE U BEEN?" lol

I don't have that many problems when I say I'm a Prince enthusiast. (I'm also a Michael Jackson fan--toss his name into a conversation and see how fast you get shredded!)

Here are a couple of things I've heard:

"He sounds like Curtis Mayfield"--My Dad said that. (Just for the rec, who the hell is Curtis Mayfield?) My father also calls him "Princess" as a gay joke. I keep pointing out Mayte to him and saying that she was his wife. Hell once I even pointed out Manuela!

"He's a dirty little man."--My Mom. (You think if Prince was a choirboy I'd like him? Puh-lease!)

Most of my friends are P enthusiasts and I don't really mention it to other people outside my social circle.
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
