We all that peole from all walks of life are fans of Prince, but every so often some one will declare their love for Prince and it catches me off guard. Recently I haerd an iterview with Fall Out Boy where they proclaimed themselves fans and the lead guy said he can't pick up a guitar without doing the opening riff from Kiss. Later I saw Silversun Pickups on TV saying they loved Prince and then in a recent concert they did the "is the water warm enough" speech from Computer Blue before doing Lazy Eye.

Who has shocked you guys the most by saying they were fans of the man?

The GD forum.

I'm generally shocked when people tell me theyre NOT a fan.

I came from the supermarket a little while ago, and an older woman was wearing a teeshirt, so I walked up to her and said, "I just have to comment on your tee-shirt." She looked at me strange, so I simply said, "Kindred Spirits" and smiled. She turned around said, "He's my boy!"

I think more people like him than outwardly say.

When I heard Teairra Mari,Princess of Rocafella declare her love 4 Prince I was like "what " I just knew she was gonna say some random rapper or whining R&B singer or the old..."Michael Jackson is just my inspiration...I love him so much" line.Lol,I mean MJ is the truth but
TeenMusic: Who are your inspirations?

Teairra Mari: Prince, Aretha Franklin, Patti Labelle, Michael Jackson, SWV, Mariah Carey so, so many more, but those are the top ones.

I cant find the video where she actually says it all quick and starts cheesing,its so cute.

I didn't get it! You must have sent it to the wrong address. Let me give you another address to send it to.

My eight year old loves Prince. Tonight I caught her singing Purple Rain very emotionally in her bedroom while I played the Hits in my bedroom. Earlier she was dancing to Delirous which she had never heard before...So I tell her she needs to go to a Prince party and she replies "I'm not a superstar like Prince I just wish I could dance like him...

I once caught my little brother masturbating with a magazine. Does that count?

The Foo Fighters

I've seen little kids get really into his music. Despite the fact that I know a lot of his dance numbers will do that, it never fails to make me go and a little

my 8 yo claims not 2 like prince, but his foot is always taping when i play Prince, and he loves lets go crazy.

he has admitted he likes the music, but not P- hey, i'll take that

I read somewhere that tupac was a fan of his music.. now that shocked me! I find myself likeing other artist who say they like prince music am I the only one ? Then I listen to the song and wonder if the song was somehow inspired by him

That man who just payed one million dollars to have Prince play a private gig!

My son is a very Surprising Prince Fan!!!! He is 6, had Downsyndrome and he cannot talk..

anyhoo...he gets very mad when I put on music that is not Prince , it is too funny! And he LOVES to watch Prince on TV!

He uses some sign language and his "sign" for Prince is he motions playing a guitar whenever he wants to watch and/or listen to Prince, we drive my hubby and my other son crazy, but it is nice to have another P fan in the house

Surprising Prince Fans?

I usually find the best way is to knock on their door unexpectedly with a bunch of flowers.

That is the cutest story ever!!

thanks...he's my avatarpic

I know, I admire him from afar..

I don't know what some people are thinking.Prince has been recording for almost 25 yrs.,that doesn't include the years he spent performing in small clubs before most people even heard of him.I am 59 yrs. old,and like most of my OLDER friends,have been a devout fan.In 1984 he had 2 and three generations loving his music and style.My mother would have been 88,she adored him too.So the young don't have a monopoly on Prince.It's easier for them to go to concerts,travel etc.,but we keep up with his life and his music with the same passion that we had many years ago.

I think that's FABULOUS! That's why I approached that lady in the supermarket yesterday! It was like a "U GO GIRL!"
I think it's so cool when Prince pulls a "more seasoned fan" up on stage... he did that when I was in Philly during Musicology. She was with (possibly?) her daughter/granddaughter, who was ready to pounce, and he said, "No, her." She got up there and did her thing!

[and some of us "young" aren't so young anymore! Haven't U noticed us bitching about the even younger fans? ]
