... in the 80's you took the line "colorful people whose hair on one side is swept back" to heart as you grabbed your hairbrush each morning. | |

-This org is the only 1 u visit
-Price cds n dvds r the ONLY ones u own(besides hubbys) -U let ur hair go back 2 its original darkness 'cos prince seems 2 like dark long wavy hair, like the woman he's married and he always seems 2 mention hair in some songs. Sad, very sad, I know | |

I have done so many of the ones mentioned.....
* You're in a long car ride trying to sleep but everyone else is making noise so you put the car volume all the way up and let the first 5 seconds of Housequake play. * You can't afford a Hohner Telecaster so you get a Squier one * The license plate of your car is the name of a girl in a prince song (pretty soon mine is gonna be Bambi ) * You mix together different live clips so you have the ultimate Purple Rain Solo * You're a teen and you're on the org more than myspace * 90% or more of the music you listen to is just Prince | |

A lot of PurpleNecks on this thread said: when u're in public, and you hear 2 notes and know it's a Prince jam ..
When friends, family and associates are always telling you that they heard a Prince song and thought of you, saw a Prince video and thought of you, saw some news about Prince and thought of you. You're in a store and hear a Prince song and you can't leave until it's over. In said store, you get mad if they interrupt it by using the PA system. Your Prince CD collection takes up the largest space of all your CDs. ...You have more pictures of Prince on your harddrive than you have of yourself You developed an involuntary reflex action to jump and turn up the volume whenever a Prince song comes on the radio. You might be a Purpleneck if you bought The Hits/The B sides and you only listen to the 3rd disk because you have the other songs on the albums they are from. Also, if you only bought Ultimate to get that 2nd disk * U still head 2 the Prince section at the record store, knowing U own everything ever released...just in case You impress older people with that .you burn Prince compilation CD's for people you barely know in hopes of "converting" them. Have more than 1 Prince ringtone I'm guilty of all of these!!! | |

Excellent thread! Haven't laughed so much in ages!!!!
When you have brainwashed your 8 yr old when SHE stops in a shop & says 'I know this' upon hearing the first bit of a Prince song! so we stop to listen & sing together! When your kids take the Hannah Montanna CD out of the car & flick through the Prince collection making their requests! Heaven! When your colleagues say 'quick, turn the radio off' when a Prince track comes on & they all look & laugh at me! (not funny!) When you flick through the entire music channel selection (we have about 20 odd in the UK) looking for a Prince video & then turn it off it you find nothing! When you spend your entire working day Googling Prince & looking at the Org (its the first thing I do when I get to work!) Sad! My husband, non-Prince fan, loves 'Nothing Compares 2 U' & when I told him Prince wrote it, we had a row as he didn't believe me & it killed him to admit what a fantastic song it is!!! | |

Thanx, but the original idea wasn't mine. I'm just glad all these people caught on. * You're a teen and you're on the org more than myspace
I own a myspace, but I never use it. I never bought into the whole "craze". It's kinda ridiculous (haha... like I'm one to talk...) * you started a Xanga/Myspace specificly for the purpose of writing about Prince, and (in the case of a newbie) document your journey through Prince's music on it so you can keep track of your progress. Those who are interested in mine, here's the link. http://www.xanga.com/DreamyPopRoyalty had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong. It started raining, baby, the birds were gone | |

You might be a PurpleNeck if: You're a female who had a dream about Prince, and you start a thread about it here on the org because you just have to tell somebody. RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

I've done that too with my very first one. Haven't had a dream that special since... but then again, I think Prince just wants me to embrace what "dream" Prince told me. I should look for his heart within the music. I've done it since and have enjoyed it more cuz of it. It makes me feel closer to him, kinda making his music more of an intimate experience. had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong. It started raining, baby, the birds were gone | |

* you're watching The Colbert Report and when he does "The Word" segment, you automatically think of the Prince song with the same name.
* you can read/see something anywhere and it'll remind you of a Prince song. * you start a "quest" to find a good substitution for the word "fan". I did the Thesaurus on Word and got the following synonyms: devotee, aficionado, enthusiast, supporter, admirer, follower None of them really work, aficionado & enthusiast just sound like fancy words for "fanatic"... :cringe: And I can't really call myself a friend of Prince since I really don't know him. the quest continues.

Another one: You might be a PurpleNeck if: you see or hear the word "password", and you automatically think of the password scene from Purple Rain, and giggle to yourself. RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

done that... that scene never gets old. Really hate that CW11 cut that scene out when I saw Purple Rain a few Saturdays ago... that's like one of the best scenes in the movie. * you get excited when you find that Purple Rain is going to air on TV, but freak out and curse the TV off cuz they made so many stupid edits. (the only one that made any sense was 'Darling Nikki'... for obvious reasons...) had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong. It started raining, baby, the birds were gone | |
