Do your friends still make fun of you for liking Prince?

Has anyone come out of the Prince hating closet after the Superbowl?

I think A LOT of fans were made out of the Proud Mary Keep on Burnin cover.

The minute the commerical world claims Prince as its own is the minute he loses the game. The cock sillohette was obviously intentional. He's been doing cheeky shadow shapes with the symbol guitar since 1994. He knew exactly what it would look like. It's subtle, classy controversy. Why are people so offended by hard cocks anyway? A hard cock is the reason everyone's here. Even Jesus.

The only time I was made fun of for liking Prince was when I was a kid.

These days I don't know anyone that doesn't respect the hell out of him, even if they are not a fan.

Most of my close friends are fans also so we can talk about him all the time. Most of my coworkers know how big a Prince fan I am. My female coworkers call me Mrs Prince or variations thereof. cool My male coworkers dog him and make fun of him when I'm around, trying to get a rise out of me. neutral Most of them dogged the halftime performance, saying things like "your boy is losing it, his voice was cracking" and "I didn't think it was all that. I was expecting a GREAT performance". I know they do it to annoy me so I ignored it. I know that deep down they knew it was a great performance. wink

I used to get called all the time. Since the superbowl, my doorbell hasnt stopped buzzing with people offering heartfelt and tearful appologys for how they had gotten in so wrong all these years. Many asked if they could still download the 3cd prince/larry/chaka set. I even saw a 6ft 4" brick shithouse wearing high heels and a sparkling purple trench coat at my bus stop today, he just stood there licking his fingers suggestively as he awaited his ride. When i drew back my curtains today the sky was all purple and there were people running everywhere. ive heard that amazon will only stock prince cd'd from today onwards as sales are that up.

My friends never made fun of me for liking Prince. My friends in Jr. High and High School (this was the early 1980s) all liked Prince themselves. When times changed in the 1990s on up to the present and all the entertainers were "overly butch", my friends from this era and the present may not care for Prince but they never made fun of him (mainly because I don't hang out with trash).

As far as trash making fun of Prince, yeah, I've heard plenty of them.

I heard some people the other day talking about Prince at the Super Bowl. I wasn't a part of their group but they were talking loud because they wanted me to hear them. Anyway, one of them said...."Why the hell would they have a fag on the Super Bowl?". They were all just having them a ball laughing and finally one of them asked me with a smurk on their face...."What do you think Andy?". When I got through telling them what I thought, they couldn't say a damn thing. I said.....

"Well, since you insist on asking me, I think Prince was the straightest one on that entire field. Just think about it for a minute. All Prince was doing was playing guitar and singing. Yeah, he may have the gay look but he wasn't the one participating in the gay activities. By gay activities I mean, an entire field full of men, no women, playing with balls. Running around in skin tight pants, patting each other on the ass. One bends down in front of the other and the other one reaches underneath him and grabs his ball. Then they all chase a guy around a field to get his ball, knock him down, and they all pile up on top of him. Then they work that "tight end" until he becomes a "wide receiver". Sounds like a gay orgy to me". lol

Yea they do, but we all tease the hell out of eachother for everything. And Me being a huge prince fan, makes it an obvious target.

They all like some of his music though. i don't think i know a single perosn that doesn't like at least a couple of Prince tracks.

You know it! I ignored them and let them talk their silly shit until they wanted to ask me what I thought to my face. They were thinking they were going to have a good laugh at my expense and make a fool out of me. Well, I don't play that shit. Anybody that knows me, knows that I will turn the tables around on somebody and turn them into the fool. Andy don't take no shit.....especially from no "dumb jocks". lol

Yes. Everyone I know teases me about it. After the super bowl I was hearing a lot of do-rag jokes. A lot of my friends didn't like his performance. Really I thought it was good. Not spectacular but it was raining. I thought it was good.

The best way is to get them before they get you.

You have them either in your car or home and put on some Prince music that they've never heard. (No Purple Rain, no hits, etc.) Know your friend's taste in music and tailor your selections to that "style".

You can mix in some other music you like between Prince songs so as not to fry their circuits and scare them too much.

They ask you, Who's that? I like that song!

Tell them it's Prince.

Now they must admit they like Prince's music.

Yeah, I finally get to post. I just joined.

I've only talked to one of my friends recently and he just keeps saying "he's so weird."

Sure, I'll agree to that, but then again, we're all a little weird. I know I'm a little weird.

In that same sense, Prince has his quirks, but that's what makes him so unique. I even like his quirks.

All I see when I look at/listen to him is a lot of talent and someone very dedicated to their work.

I'm sure I'll come up with more of an answer when I tell more of my friends about my love for Prince's music.
had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong. It started raining, baby, the birds were gone
