Do your friends like Prince?

None of my friends like him. They think he's a sissy and a nut case. Do your friends like him? (I mean friends u hang out with. Not online friends).

my best friend only likes his nasty fast songs. i tried getting her into rare crazy stuff and instrumental prince music, and she was like "what's the point? this isn't dirty!"

sigh

Yes my two best friends (despite the fact they dont know each other) are both huge Prince fans! and both played a part in getting me into Prince.

I lucked out, because i'll tell them things like the Planet Earth project and they get all excited and go "oooh i think it's gonna be a new album" and the other goes "ooh i think its' gonna be a tour". So even off this board it's still all Prince talk, one my friends vist's the org as well.

My roommate from last year is just as crazy about him as I am. She even understands him on the same levels that I and the rest of us here, so that's a huge bonus.

Other than that, none of my other friends (that I've told) have really come forward to say they like him. My best friend from middle & high school, who I still keep in touch with, is indifferent, but isn't really crazy about him. I doubt he even respects him the way that Prince ought to be respected.

Most of the time, I just hear "I'm not a Prince fan"... but that's okay. Just as long as I don't hear anybody speak ill of him, I'm fine with the fact many friends in general aren't into him like I am. I just "get him" better than others can.

Most of my friends respect that i like him, but don't care for him.
I'm starting to get my bestfriend into him and she's learning fast. She's the only friend I have who likes him. (what 've showed her so far)

nope. I like many diffrent kinds of music though, so my friends are happy. Sometimes I slip a little known prince in and they don't realize.

I have a high school friend that likes Prince but she prefers gospel music. My husband likes that Princes music makes me happy and sometimes horny, but I know he doesn't really appreciate the musician. He often supports my daughters claims that he's gay...It's irritating as hell!!!

I guess this proves that Prince is just one of those artists where it's either:

you like him or you don't...

My mom calls him an "acquired taste", but I doubt he's someone you can warm up to unless you already have a shred of respect &/or admiration for him. That's what makes me glad I was introduced to him under the circumstances I was or I wouldn't understand him the way I do. I immediately accepted him for everything that he stands 4 and under diff. circumstances, that would have proved difficult for me. I would have ended up judging him b4 giving him a chance.

He's someone you kinda have to be open-minded to get into and I think that's probably difficult for other people that aren't accustomed to him like we are.

Sure, I wish I had more friends that like Prince, but his music is just another way of experiencing my individuality. woot! Hooray for individuality!

I'm not sure how relevent this is to the topic, but it seems like few of us have Prince fans 4 friends.

At this point in my life,
I've come to realize that having friends in the 'outside'/real world is too high maintenance.
Once I discovered the org,
I dumped them all.

Now the only friends I have are all you guys.
So,
my answer is yes.

Yes they do.

My friends mum loves Prince biggrin Shes like "I didn't know any of you kids knew that music from back then!" haha.

One or two of my friends like his more pop songs like 1999 or Lets Go Crazy. I can't see any of them getting into Face Down or God lol. But they don't hate on me for it. Actually I just remembered one friend who knew all the words to Cream.

- My best friend is a huge Madonna fan, so we fight all the time about music.
He constantly tries to get me to listen to stuff like Corinne Bailey Raye (sp?) disbelief
I'm sorry, but I can hear the syrup dripping off that chick, and it makes me ill! I don't like "sticky sweet" music like that.

- One of my other close friends borders on "fam" but he won't admit it.

- Another close friend is my "road dog" for concerts headbang We get into "Prince adventures" together.... lol

- a lot are people I've met along the way because I'm a Prince fan. wink

A2) "You mean that old guy?"
A3) "I've heard that name but i've never seen/heard his face/music"
A4) "..uh huuuuh."
