Prince Madness in London - weird? Is anyone out there finding the unbelievable Prince craze sweeping London right now a little kinda weird?
It's just that for the past 4 years, I've been such a closet Prince fan, enjoying his entire back catalogue on my iPOD (rarely listening to anything else), watching the movies Purple Rain and Under The Cherry Moon, and his concert DVDs, all rather covertly because telling someone you like Prince (the last 5-10 years) results in you being looked at almost like a leper! My sisters always tease me about it. But now, all of a sudden, I'm not the black sheep anymore. I'm not the 'different' guy. Suddenly, the entire city are in love with Prince. Posters on the Tube, London newspapers, the television news, the BBC, morning television - everywhere is alive with Prince! People want tickets. It's just kind of a weird feeling suddenly having to share our idol with the entire nation who up until recently were happy just to take the p*ss out of him. | |

Seriously, there are a lot of people who are still waking up to the reality of Prince's talent and others that suddenly feel it's legitimate to like him second time around. . ALT+PLS+RTN: Pure as a pane of ice. It's a gift. |

London is such a cool city....only been there once but I loved it. Anyways, I can only imagine how much cooler the city must be now with all the purple madness sweeping the city. Maybe it's time you came out of the purple closet (lol). | |

It fits both forums! You only should post in one forum instead of more than one. The same thread is in the Concerts forum already http://prince.org/msg/12/237591  
Ohh purple joy oh purple bliss oh purple rapture! REAL MUSIC by REAL MUSICIANS - Prince "I kind of wish there was a reason for Prince to make the site crash more" ~~ Ben |
